Brands, including Prada, have cut ties with the actor amid the controversy over his relationship with Kim Sae-ron, who was found dead in February in a suspected suicide. She was 24.

The 37-year-old Kim said he dated Kim Sae-ron five years ago for about a year, but not when she was underage. He said a YouTube video released earlier this month cited testimonies and evidence that were false, including screenshots of messages that could not be from the actress.
