Kim Soo-hyun makes first public appearance in 17 months in Indonesia

South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun has made his first major public appearance in approximately 17 months. The actor traveled to Jakarta, Indonesia, to participate in 'Mahakarya RCTI 37,' a live special broadcast celebrating the 37th anniversary of the Indonesian broadcaster RCTI.

During the event, Kim performed a ballad from his series 'Dream High' and expressed gratitude to fans for their patience. This appearance follows a hiatus that began in mid-2025 due to personal and legal controversies involving his past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron.

While the performance drew emotional reactions from international supporters, the return has also sparked debate among netizens regarding his presence in the entertainment industry.
