Late actress Kim Sae Ron‘s aunt “exposed” actor Kim Soo Hyun and ultimately blamed the actress’s suicide death on his actions.
Netizens have had to come to the defense of G-Dragon after the idol was brought into the controversy.

The reason G-Dragon is being brought up is the show Good Day, as Kim Soo Hyun was a guest alongside other 88-liners.
Considering the show’s popularity, a viral tweet criticized G-Dragon for being “close friends” with Kim Soo Hyun.

A note was immediately added to the tweet, and netizens came to G-Dragon’s defense, explaining that it had been mentioned that the idol had only met the actor through the show and had been introduced through celebrity Jo Se Ho.
Not a GD stan but didn’t they just meet on Good Day through Jo Se-ho’s introduction two months ago? It’s clearly stated in the show. Why do you hate this man so bad that instead of focusing on the criminal in sight you’re looking for ways to hate GD https://t.co/L9ZhwUG0Rc

In particular, netizens hit back at the attempt to use something so tragic to start fanwars or create false narratives rather than focusing on the victim.
oh sure, let’s focus on innocent human instead of the actual pedophile https://t.co/iIzgd8Mt9U pic.twitter.com/M9SilGEzVs

People who make posts like this don’t really care about the victims and just want to use them to get attention. It’s pretty disgusting that you’re trying to shift the attention off the criminal to someone who met him 2 months ago https://t.co/19dKQIQb00
