Kim Soo Hyun, the actor, is keeping quiet amid fresh controversies regarding his alleged inappropriate behavior towards the late Kim Sae Ron and claims of pressuring Sulli into filming intimate scenes in 'Real.' Past comments made during a 2017 interview promoting the film have resurfaced, shedding light on the production environment of 'Real.'

During the interview, Kim Soo Hyun mentioned how he personally asked Suzy and IU to make cameos in the film, and they both readily agreed. Particularly regarding Suzy, Kim shared how she came in six hours early for her part, which required full-body tattoo makeup. Despite being surprised by the role assigned to her, Suzy completed the short scene with professionalism.

These statements are now being revisited in light of recent accusations of mistreatment towards female cast members during the filming of 'Real.' Allegations include claims that Sulli, a lead actress in the movie, was pressured into performing scenes not originally outlined in the script, including bed and nude scenes.

Sulli's brother publicly accused Kim Soo Hyun and director Lee Sa Rang of coercing Sulli into shooting explicit scenes despite having a body double available. He refuted claims that the double was absent due to illness, asserting the double was present on set. Another controversy arose concerning the late Kim Sae Ron, with her family unveiling KakaoTalk messages exchanged with Kim Soo Hyun when she was underage.

As criticisms grow and behind-the-scenes accounts attract scrutiny, the work environment on the set of 'Real' is coming under increased public questioning.
