Kim Soo Hyun has been facing a massive backlash on social media in recent weeks. His Instagram account, which once boasted millions of followers, has been steadily losing subscribers since he got entangled in Kim Sae Ron's dating controversy. On March 13, the actor witnessed an alarming decline of nearly 400,000 followers, adding to the significant loss of over one million subscribers since the scandal began. 

The controversy surrounding Kim Soo Hyun stems from allegations about his relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron. The drama intensified when the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute released an expose on March 10, 2025, claiming that Kim Soo Hyun had been romantically involved with Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor. The channel cited a tip from Kim Sae Ron's bereaved family, sparking further public outrage.

Kim Soo Hyun's Instagram took a direct hit following these allegations. On March 12, he had over 21 million followers, but just one day later, on March 13, 2025, the number dropped to 20.5 million, reflecting a loss of almost half a million followers. As of March 27, 2025, Kim Soo Hyun currently has 20.2 million followers on Instagram. On March 13, a series of events unfolded that likely led to a decline in Kim Soo Hyun's Instagram followers:
