Kim Soo-Hyun's Dating Controversy Resurfaces
The dating scandal surrounding Kim Soo-Hyun and the late actress Kim Sae-Ron has re-emerged, drawing attention once again. Recent police investigations have brought to light the name of K-pop star Sulli, who tragically passed away in 2019. Sulli had previously collaborated with Kim Soo-Hyun in the 2017 film 'Real'. Her brother has revealed that he possesses a lengthy audio recording that allegedly contains sensitive discussions about her private life and notable figures in the entertainment industry. This has reignited debates online regarding past controversies linked to the film and Kim Soo-Hyun.

On May 22, Sulli's brother took to social media to claim he has a "37-minute recorded phone conversation" involving his sister's former manager. He suggested that the audio discusses various individuals and topics, including singer-actress IU, Kim Soo-Hyun, mental health treatment, SM Entertainment, and Sulli's personal experiences during that period. Although he has not disclosed the specific contents of the recording, he indicated that there are many unresolved questions he wishes to address, stating he has refrained from further comments out of respect for his mother. He affirmed that his previous statements were genuine and not fabricated.
Social Media Posts Stir Speculation
Cryptic posts fuel speculation
Another post from Sulli's brother, which appeared to serve as a warning to an unnamed person, was shared just a day prior and has intensified the ongoing controversy. In this message, he hinted at a potential "round two" if the individual chose to re-enter the public discourse. When followers inquired about the identity of the person, he cryptically referred to "someone from the star over there," a phrase many interpreted as a reference to the drama 'My Love from the Star', featuring Kim Soo-Hyun. The timing of these comments has led to increased speculation, especially as the actor is currently facing separate online allegations related to Kim Sae-Ron.

This isn't the first instance of Sulli's brother addressing issues surrounding the film 'Real'. Last year, he questioned whether Sulli felt pressured to perform explicit scenes, including nude and intimate moments. The film was directed by Lee Ro-Bae, also known as Lee Sa-Rang, who is believed to be Kim Soo-Hyun's cousin. The actor's agency previously stated that Sulli was fully informed about the scenes prior to filming and had willingly participated. They also clarified that a body double was used solely for technical preparations, not for the final performance.
