Jung Hae In has been criticized because he is allegedly one of the few celebrities who continues to support Kim Soo Hyun amid the allegations and controversy related to Kim Sae Ron.
Actor Kim Soo Hyun has been acquitted of all charges in his legal case with the family of the late Kim Sae Ron. However, his public reputation has taken a major hit over the past year, with many people still having mixed reactions to any updates regarding his case.
Not only that, but according to new reports, while almost everyone boycotted the “It’s Okay Not to Be Okay” actor, his co-star Jung Hae In allegedly took his side. As the report emerged, netizens began sharing their mixed reactions to the news.
Jung Hae In has reportedly continued to support Kim Soo Hyun amid the allegations
About a year ago, Kim So Hyun was accused of dating Kim Sae Ron as an adult while she was still a minor. Moreover, his company was also accused of pressuring the star about debt repayment.
While the actor was cleared of all allegations after the investigation, many netizens did not agree with this decision. According to a report by MHN, fellow actor Jung Hae In, known for his work in “Tune In For Love” and “While You Were Sleeping,” allegedly supported him through everything, despite several people and companies in the industry boycotting the South Korean actor.
YouTuber Eun Hyun-jang, a controversial influencer who has been accused of many things, also mentioned Jung Hae In and Kim Soo Hyun in his latest video.
In the uploaded post, he detailed how many people had turned on him and were reaching out to him again, and how funny the situation was. In the video, he stated, “Jung Hae In was the only one who didn’t unfollow me on social media and stayed by my side until the end.
He is a friend who I have met several times and who has given me a lot of support. He also kept tabs on Kim Soo Hyun without unfollowing him until the end.
That’s why I keep calling him my younger brother, Jung Hae-in.”The report sparked backlash online, with many people criticizing Hye In for standing by someone accused of such crimes. He had already faced some criticism last year. At the time, he was one of the few celebrities who did not unfollow Kim So Hyun immediately after the allegations and scandal surfaced.
Netizens are reacting strongly to the report
Once the YouTuber’s report and video went viral, many netizens discussed the actor’s credibility and how he could stand by someone accused of such crimes.
One person wrote on the subject, “I’ve always hated Jung Hae In,” while another person posted, “I thought it was just a joke but Jung Haein still shamelessly follows Kim Soohyun. (crying emoji) I had to check and it made me sad – what’s wrong with him?? They’re really best friends, huh?! (crying emoji and laughing while crying emoji).”
“Another social media user commented, “I’m disappointed that Jung Hae joined.
Now go with it to h3ll. Another comment on the matter read, “Not just Haen. Hyunwook, Chaemin, or anyone else who still follows that guy should realize that fans and K-drama fans in general are not obligated to ignore everything and keep cheering; they have every right to be disappointed and walk away when their values don’t align.”
“At the time of writing, neither Jung Hae In nor Kim So Hyun have publicly addressed the report and the ongoing backlash.
