en.malanginspirasi.com – The Straits Times reported the performance of South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun who has returned to live RCTI broadcast television for the first time in over a year following a hiatus throughout 2025.
Kim made a special appearance on August 23 in Jakarta during Mahakarya RCTI 37, a live broadcast celebrating the 37th anniversary of RCTI, one of Indonesia’s major private commercial networks.
Addressing the audience, the 38-year-old actor expressed his gratitude before performing “Dreaming,” a track from his breakout 2011 drama Dream High.
The appearance marks a gradual return to public life following months of legal and public scrutiny:
Back in March 2025, claims surfaced alleging Kim had previously dated late actress Kim Sae-ron while she was a minor.

Kim Sae-ron passed away at her home in Seoul in February 2025 at the age of 24.
Two months after, Kim Sae-ron’s family filed a criminal complaint alleging violations of the Child Welfare Act.
While Kim Soo-hyun’s agency acknowledged the past relationship, they firmly denied it began while she was underage, maintaining that audio evidence presented by the family was AI-generated.
Later on July 2026, South Korean police officially cleared Kim of the Child Welfare Act allegations, concluding the investigation without referring the case for prosecution.
Prior to his Jakarta performance, Kim began resuming professional schedules by filming a commercial for a Philippine fashion brand on July 14, marking his first official brand activity since the controversy began.
