Yet another post by actor Kim Soo Hyun has come under scrutiny amid the ongoing controversy regarding his alleged relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron.
Kim Sae Ron passed away on February 16, KST, at just 24 years of age. The exact circumstances of her passing are still unknown to the public, but recently, her aunt made an explosive exposé about Kim Soo Hyun’s alleged 6-year relationship with her niece, which started when she was just 15 and he was 27.

This allegation has damaged Kim Soo Hyun’s reputation significantly, as fans are left disgusted at his decision to date a minor when he was a fully grown adult. In these circumstances, some of his old posts, in which he talked about his “ideal type,” have resurfaced.
Among those is an alleged 2008 Cyworld post where Kim Soo Hyun seemingly described the kind of person he wanted to be with. The lengthy post contained intense imagery and a rather dark take on love.
You have to be sad because of me, want to die, regret everything, and no matter who you look at, you should only think about me. Above all, you should never doubt me. Don’t interfere in my matters because it’s annoying. I’m good at swearing. But when I need you, you always have to be there because I crave attention. You need to be quick to understand things because I’m hot-tempered. If you try to teach me, then you’re dead.
Ah… buy me some medicine. I tend to get sick often. I have an arrhythmia, it’s called ventricular tachycardia, and I need surgery.
Now, try to love me. If you can’t, just throw me away coldly. So I can at least cry sorrowfully.

The post’s content has stirred up some strong reactions from netizens. While some felt that it was just the trend to make such brooding posts on Cyworld back then, others got uncomfortable.
- “I hate it so much.”
- “The worst.”
- “Ugh.”
- “Would a normal person write something like that on a public platform…”
- “A normal man wouldn’t write something like that.”
- “He said, ‘You have to want to die,’ and then really killed her. Kim Soo Hyun, are you at least a little satisfied now?”
Meanwhile, in a separate interview, Kim Soo Hyun had talked about wanting to marry someone decades younger than him, sparking intense criticism even before the current controversy. Read more about it here:
