This wasn’t the first time Kim Soo Hyun’s family had been in the spotlight. In 2015, Juna Kim, a participant in “Produce 101,” revealed herself as Kim Soo Hyun’s half-sister. This revelation stirred controversy, as Kim Soo Hyun had been known to live with his mother since childhood, seemingly distant from his father and sibling.
The disclosure prompted Kim Soo Hyun’s agency at the time, KEYEAST, to release a statement. They explained that Kim Soo Hyun referred to himself as his mother’s only child out of concern for her feelings and to shield her from unwanted attention. The agency requested understanding for the actor’s decision to keep his family matters private.
