Kim Soo Hyun’s Knock Off Paused Amid Kim Sae Ron Scandal

Kim Soo Hyun’s Knock Off Paused Amid Kim Sae Ron Scandal

Stop the cameras—literally! Kim Soo Hyun’s buzzy Disney+ thriller Knock Off just got a major plot twist… and not the kind you’ll find in the script.

Kim Soo Hyun’s Disney+ show Knock Off halts production as scandal with late actress Kim Sae Ron ignites major backlash and brand fallout.

The production? Halted. The drama? Off the charts. The reason? One major controversy with late actress Kim Sae Ron at the center, and Kim Soo Hyun caught in the storm.

Here’s the tea: the internet went into meltdown after Kim Sae Ron posted—and then deleted—a pic of herself with Kim Soo Hyun, captioned with “Don’t lie.” Fans immediately started sleuthing like it was an episode of Penthouse, digging into whether the two dated—and when.

According to reports, the controversy revolves around claims that Kim and Sae Ron may have dated before she turned 18. Kim Soo Hyun has denied the whole underage angle, saying their relationship didn’t kick off until 2019, when she was of legal age. But the internet’s not exactly buying it.

Cue the fallout.

Knock Off was supposed to be Kim’s big return to thriller glory. Instead, it’s in limbo, with insiders claiming the team told cast and crew that filming is “postponed indefinitely.” And if that wasn’t enough, Disney+ confirmed the release is “under review.” Translation: it’s on ice, folks.

Oh, and it gets worse. Reports say Kim could be hit with a penalty fee of up to 18 billion KRW (that’s a jaw-dropping $13 million USD) for damages. That’s enough to make even a top Hallyu star sweat.

Brands aren’t sticking around either—Prada and Dinto already pulled the plug on their partnerships faster than you can say “scandal.” The damage control mode is fully activated, but public opinion? Still sizzling hot.

Kim Soo Hyun made a public statement, saying, “I did not date the deceased when she was a minor. We dated five years ago for about a year.” But let’s be real—this story’s got more layers than a K-drama finale.

Will Knock Off make a comeback? Will Kim clear his name? For now, it’s all eyes on this real-life drama that’s threatening to outshine any plot he’s ever starred in.

Stay tuned—this one’s far from wrapped.
