One X (Previously Twitter) user wrote, “Bro we know you are a good actor so this whole shit show you are pulling no ones gonna buy it damn that crocodile tears.” At the same time, another said, “If you are wondering why Kim Soo-hyun is looking down in his press conference, it’s because he was reading his statement from a script- A true actor’s spirit.”
Others compared his emotional outburst to a K-drama audition, asking, “Is he auditioning for a new drama?” These tears aren’t convincing anyone,” and “He’s literally in a new drama dubbed King of Tears.” Another post mocked, “And the Oscar goes to…” insinuating that his collapse was just a show.
While the majority of replies were negative, several fans defended the Queen of Tears actress. A user commented: “I hope you don’t feel sorry for him only after he ends his life, like you did with Kim Sae Ron!” Another said, “People criticise him for speaking, but also for staying silent—there’s no winning here.”
