Actor Kim Soo Hyun has officially restarted his public activities after a break of about one year and four months. On August 2, he shared a greeting video through the official social media accounts of BENCH, a Philippine lifestyle brand. With a smile, he delivered a warm message to his fans: "I really missed you all. I am so happy to greet you after such a long time. Please look forward to what's next."
In the video, Kim Soo Hyun spoke calmly while wearing a simple black T-shirt. Many fans noticed that his face looked a bit slimmer and slightly haggard compared to before. Despite this, fans were quick to show their strong support, leaving comments like "I'm glad he looks healthy," "We waited for you," and "It's so good to see you again." Proving his lasting popularity, some of the products he wore in the video sold out immediately after it was posted.

The actor stepped away from the public eye last year after privacy rumors surfaced involving the late Kim Sae Ron. At the time, her bereaved family and a YouTube channel claimed that Kim Soo Hyun had been dating her since she was a minor. Kim Soo Hyun's representatives strongly denied these allegations and took legal action. The police eventually dropped the case and decided not to press charges due to a lack of evidence. His team has since asked the public to judge the situation based only on proven facts.
