The case brought against Kim Soo Hyun for violating the Child Welfare Act came to an end last month, but the allegations against him are still widely believed due to multiple images and videos cited as evidence against him.

The actor’s fan meeting comes less than two weeks after he made his first public appearance in Korea since the controversy erupted, where audience reactions triggered fierce scorn online.
