Kim Soo-hyun returns to domestic official stage after 1 year and 6 months... appearing as a TMA presenter

Actor Kim Soo-hyun has appeared at a domestic official venue for the first time in about 1 year and 6 months. Kim Soo-hyun, who attended the '2026 TMA' held at Busan Asiad Main Stadium on the 19th, was captured waiting behind the scenes wearing an all-black suit. His agency, GOLDMEDALIST, announced his return by releasing behind-the-scenes photos of the awards ceremony through its official account on the 22nd.

On this day, Kim Soo-hyun took the stage as a presenter for the 'TMA Popularity Award'. Before presenting, he shared his thoughts, saying, "I am standing here today as a presenter, but I am also someone who loves K-pop," and added, "I feel that the power held by our artists and music has grown." Afterwards, he graced the occasion by personally delivering the trophy to singer Lim Young-woong, who was called as the winner of the Popularity Award.

This is Kim Soo-hyun's first domestic official activity since a press conference last March. At that time, he had suspended his activities following allegations of a past relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron. The agency has maintained the position that they dated after becoming adults, denying the rumors of dating during their time as minors. Subsequently, the Seoul Seongdong Police Station made a decision not to transfer the case in July due to insufficient evidence, and the prosecution also returned the case records without further investigation.

Meanwhile, Kim Se-ui, the representative of Garo Sero Institute who raised the allegations, is currently indicted under arrest on charges of defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act and violation of the Stalking Punishment Act. Prior to attending this awards ceremony, Kim Soo-hyun has been resuming his entertainment activities through overseas commercial shoots and events.
