I don& #39;t know if anyone& #39;s gonna see this thread but I& #39;m just gonna be frank and set a timeline on the recent issues surrounding the actor #KimJungHyun.
On April 8th, Kim Jung-hyun was caught on a dating rumor with his CLOY co-star Seo Ji-hye, to which they quickly denied. https://www.soompi.com/article/1463145wpp/seo-ji-hyes-and-kim-jung-hyuns-agencies-deny-dating-rumors">https://www.soompi.com/article/1...
Welp, it turns out that KJH was discussing a contract with SJH& #39;s agency, Culture Depot, through her. Even though Dispatch released photos of them, they quickly denied again. https://www.soompi.com/article/1463164wpp/kim-jung-hyun-in-talks-to-join-seo-ji-hyes-agency-agency-responds-to-new-dating-report-by-dispatch">https://www.soompi.com/article/1...
Ok, so what seems to be the problem here? Turns out, the real issue is with KJH and his agency, O&Ent. He thought his contract will be over next month that& #39;s why he& #39;s in talks with Culture Depot.
However, O&Ent. insists he still has 11 months left, including the time he was on hiatus back in 2018. We& #39;ll get back to this [hiatus] later.

Because of this, fans believed that there is media manipulation because of:
1. The lack of proper response from O&Ent. with regards to the dating rumors;
2. The contract dispute.
It is also possible that his agency worked with Dispatch to deploy the dating rumors.

2. The contract dispute.
It is also possible that his agency worked with Dispatch to deploy the dating rumors.
This can be seen as a move to prevent him from signing with a bigger agency (Culture Depot is home to famous actresses like Jun Ji-hyun & Kim So-hyun).
On April 9th, O&Ent. released a statement accusing KJH of improper attitude. Also, they& #39;re filing a lawsuit against him because of the contract dispute.
They brought up KJH& #39;s departure from the MBC drama "Time", by saying that he did not leave due to health issues, but rather from personal issues involving a girlfriend.
(For the lack of a properly translated article, I& #39;m using one from allkpop. I know, I& #39;m sorry pls cut me some slack

So what really happened back in 2018? KJH had to stop filming for the drama "Time" due to his physical and mental condition. He was diagnosed with eating and sleeping disorders.
Prior to this, KJH was overworked and been in a lot of stress, to the point where the director of Time recommended for him to go on a solo trip.

Aside from his underlying conditions, he also practiced "method acting" for the drama. Basically he lived his life like his character from the drama, a man dying due to a terminal illness. If method acting is not supervised properly, it can cause serious psychological effects.
Just recently, an SBS article claiming that a "staff" or an "insider" from the drama said that the real reason for his behavior was because he was uncomfortable with his co-star, Seohyun. It was said that this affected the atmosphere on the set, and KJH& #39;s actions led to—
Seohyun crying behind the scenes. However, it was also mentioned that "they don& #39;t know if it was a misunderstanding" or basically, if KJH was really the reason for that.

Again, many believe that this may be another manipulation made by KJH& #39;s agency by hiding behind Seohyun& #39;s huge fandom.
Here was Seohyun& #39;s statement about KJH& #39;s departure from the drama back in 2018. https://www.soompi.com/article/1240737wpp/seohyun-opens-kim-jung-hyuns-early-departure-time">https://www.soompi.com/article/1...

Ok, this one I& #39;m kinda confused. Apparently KJH refused to do romantic scenes but what is this? I& #39;m guessing he rejected the really romantic and cheesy scenes because Time is a melodrama after all.

Since the issues were not addressed properly, it& #39;s best to say that we don& #39;t jump into conclusions. KJH has already received huge backlash from this (even death threats, I see y& #39;all https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen">) but Seo Ji-hye, Seohyun, & even Shin Hye-sun have been affected by these.
Please stop sending each other hate comments. ISTG everyone here& #39;s so intense it& #39;s frustrating esp to those ppl who don& #39;t know the whole story https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß">. We still don& #39;t know who& #39;s in the right or wrong so it& #39;s best to stay back and wait for the truth.
Anyway, let& #39;s hope that the actor himself will address the issues, because his agency is somewhat,, fishy?

Here& #39;s a thread translating the article from SBS: https://twitter.com/SeohyunStream/status/1381049865489182720?s=20">https://twitter.com/SeohyunSt...
Ok, I& #39;ve also seen people asking why he didn& #39;t drop the drama before the filming. According to many, O&Ent. neglected his condition at that time because he was the most active actor in the agency. Basically, he brings in the $$$.
Here& #39;s a past interview saying that in just two years, KJH did 10 dramas & films combined.

Also, feel free to correct me if there are any mistakes and/or mistranslations in the thread. Even a little enlightenment would be appreciated!
Again, there is no bias here! The whole point of this thread is to show the possibilities that led to these issues. It& #39;s not good if we only listen to one side of the story, and it& #39;s better if all parties involved speak up.
But please, stop with the death threats. Even I am getting scared of them. If we all get to the end of the story, we all know that those really involved will be held accountable for their actions. Let& #39;s all be rational and open-minded in this. Thank you!
