Queen of Tears actor Kim Soo-hyun has drawn a lot of attention to himself. The conversations have nothing to do with a new hit project. Rather, the actor is allegedly tied to the death of another popular South Korean actress.

Legal experts have weighed in on the potential consequences Kim Soo Hyun might face. According to current South Korean law, which was revised in May 2020, engaging in sexual acts with a minor under 16, even with consent, can constitute statutory rape or sexual misconduct.

The controversy involving Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron has opened a Pandora's box of issues within entertainment industry, from age-gap relationships to the treatment of disgraced celebrities.
