Kim Soo-Hyun’s Lawsuit with Eider Reduced Amid Controversy Allegations
South Korean actor Kim Soo-Hyun has received legal relief as clothing brand Eider reduced its lawsuit from 2.5 billion KRW (about Rs 15 crore) to approximately 400 million KRW, withdrawing claims of reputational damage linked to controversy involving late actress Kim Sae-Ron. Eider now seeks only partial recovery of modelling fees. Kim Soo-Hyun has been cleared of allegations, while another cosmetic brand continues a separate lawsuit seeking damages related to contract termination.
