Kim Soo-hyun landed in trouble after it was revealed that he dated late actress Kim Sae-ron for six years. Much to everyone’s shock, Sae-ron’s aunt shared that the ‘Bloodhounds’ star started dating him when she was 15 and he was 27. In defense, Soo-hyun’s agency, GOLD MEDALIST, admitted that the two actors dated but said the relationship began only after Sae-ron became an adult.
To prove their point, Sae-ron’s family has been sharing intimate photos of the late actress and Soo-hyun through the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute. Amid this, many brands including PRADA and Dinto terminated their contracts with him. It was also reported that his upcoming K-drama ‘Knock Off’ will be put on hold. Now, Disney+ has confirmed the news.
According to Koreaboo, Disney+ released a statement that read, “After careful discussion, we have decided to put the release for ‘Knock Off’ on hold.

The show was originally scheduled to premiere this year, and there was speculation that the first part would be released in April.
In an earlier interview with Esquire Korea, Soo-hyun opened up about the K-drama, saying, “It depicts the story of an ordinary office worker, Kim Seong-jun, as he overcomes various crises and fights to survive. Through this process, the story ultimately shows how humans themselves become ‘knock-offs’, with perhaps every character in the drama arriving at the conclusion in life.”
The Park Hyun-seok directorial also stars Jo Bo-ah, Lee Jung-eun, Jo Woo-jin, Kwon Nara, Yoo Jae-myung, and Cho Gyu-ri.
