The ongoing controversy involving Kim Soo Hyun and the late Kim Sae Ron continues to dominate Korean online communities and international social media platforms. Korean netizens have been actively discussing Kim Soo Hyun, delving into past articles on popular forums like TheQoo.

After new revelations from Kim Sae Ron's family, netizens turned to the online community to uncover a Tous Les Jours advertisement from 2012 featuring Kim Soo Hyun and Won Bin. A netizen shared a post titled "Won Bin and Kim Soo Hyun featured in a Tous Les Jours ad together," referring to an article from February 2012 that compared the acting talents of Kim Soo Hyun and Won Bin in their 20s.

The netizen highlighted a statement from the 2012 article, quoting Producer Choi Moon Seok on the importance of visuals and voice for actors. Despite the claims in the article that Kim Soo Hyun surpassed top stars like Won Bin in talent, the netizen argued that Won Bin's visuals in his early 20s were unmatched. Photos and videos were shared to juxtapose the two actors.

Korean netizens disagreed with the 2012 article and praised Won Bin's legendary visuals. Comments emphasized Won Bin's exceptional looks and questioned the comparison between him and Kim Soo Hyun, asserting that they were on different levels. The sentiment among netizens was overwhelmingly in favor of Won Bin's unparalleled attractiveness.
