A Malaysian radio station has landed itself in hot water after its announcers defended South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun amid allegations of underage dating.
-
KUALA LUMPUR -
Kim, 37, has faced intense scrutiny since March 10, when a YouTube channel accused him of dating late actress Kim Sae-ron while she was still a minor.
Kim Soo-hyun's agency Goldmedalist confirmed that the two were in a relationship for a year, but insisted that the actress was of legal age at the time.
Despite this, many netizens remain doubtful of the agency's claim.
Three hosts from radio station Eight FM recently posted a video discussing Kim's controversy on their morning show, defending him and saying he was not at fault.
