Amid allegations that actor Kim Soohyun was an underage lover of the late actor Kim Saeron, the retail industry is watching the situation closely.
According to the industry on Wednesday, Dinto, a vegan beauty brand that selected actor Kim Soohyun as its model, has put its modeling schedule on hold.
A spokesperson for Dinto, which is run by CEO Ahn Ji-hye, said, “All employees have been checking the facts together and discussing how to respond,” adding, “We have currently put all planned events related to the model on hold.”
Meanwhile, retailers that have been using Kim as a model are also reportedly having internal discussions.

6. She posted an apology because she was getting hate (T/n: Dinto’s CEO – see post below)
“Hello, this is Ahn Ji-hye, the CEO of Dinto.
First of all, I deeply apologize for the recent issue.
The post I previously uploaded was written between the evening of March 10 and the early morning of March 11. I deeply regret the confusion and inconvenience it has caused.
At the time, rather than making a hasty judgment based on fragmented information, I believed it was necessary to inform you that I was monitoring the situation and waiting to verify the facts more clearly.
Today, on March 11, our entire staff has been working together to confirm the facts and discuss our response direction. Currently, all scheduled plans related to the model have been put on hold.
Moving forward, I will be more cautious and responsible when sharing our views, ensuring that such concerns do not arise again. We will provide an official statement and response from the Dinto brand by tomorrow.
I apologize once again.”

[instiz] DINTO (KIM SOOHYUN IS A MODEL)’S CEO’S THREAD
“I’m not sleeping, not at all!ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I’ve been working until now because I have so much piled-up work.
Seeing so many encouraging messages really touched me and brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for your concern.
As for the model situation, I’m planning to trust and wait for now. Rather than getting swayed by uncertain things, I’m focusing on what I can do and what I need to do.
By the way, we’’re planning a pop-up at Seoul Forest in June, and I’m planning to be there every day!
I really want to personally welcome each and every one of you and express my gratitude.
I’ll do my best somehow!”
