Kim Soo Hyun witnesses massive dip in followers on Instagram; here’s why

Recently Kim Soo Hyun has been the target of a tremendous social media backlash. Since he became involved in Kim Sae Ron’s relationship scandal, his Instagram account, which once had millions of followers, has been rapidly losing subscribers. On March 13, the actor witnessed an alarming decline of nearly 400,000 followers, adding to the significant loss of over one million subscribers since the scandal began.

The situated escalated when the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute published an expose on March 10, 2025, alleging that Kim Soo Hyun had a romantic relationship with Kim Sae Ron. More public indignation was sparked when the broadcaster reported a tip from Kim Sae Ron’s grieving family.

He had more over 21 million followers on March 12, 2025, but only one day later, on March 13, 2025, that number fell to 20.5 million, representing an almost half-million-follower loss. Kim Soo Hyun has 20.2 million Instagram followers as of March 27, 2025. A number of things happened on March 13 that probably contributed to Kim Soo Hyun’s Instagram following dropping:

Kim Soo Hyun’s side eventually talked about the relationship rumors and the letters that Kim Sae Ron penned while in the military. Soo Hyun expressed regret to his Knock-Off co-stars and the team for the controversy involving Kim Sae Ron. Despite his family’s opposition, Kim Soo Hyun recruited Kim Sae Ron to the GOLDMEDALIST agency with the assurance that he would take full responsibility.

As of now, Kim Sae Ron’s family is considering filing a lawsuit against Kim Soo Hyun for reportedly denying their six-year romance and their underage dating.

Fans discovered an old post from 2015 that seemed to allude to Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun’s romantic relationship.
