Kim Soo Hyun has returned to the spotlight after a year-and-a-half break, but his noticeably thinner appearance in recent photos has caught fans’ attention.
On July 14th, Ben Chan, founder of Filipino fashion brand BENCH, shared behind-the-scenes photos from a commercial shoot with the actor on social media.
In the photos, Kim smiles brightly while standing with Chan and holding a large bouquet of flowers.
However, fans noticed that Kim looked much thinner after going through a long legal battle, sparking mixed reactions online.
Kim took a break from the entertainment industry last March while dealing with a legal dispute involving the controversial YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute. His return to a commercial shoot is being seen as an important step toward restarting his career.

Many fans expressed concern over his slimmer face and sharper jawline, leaving comments such as “He looks so thin” and “He must have been under a lot of stress.”
Below are the released photos of Kim Soo Hyun from the BENCH photoshoot.



The update comes after a recent development in his legal battle. Kim Se Eui, the head of Garo Sero Institute, was detained on charges of defamation and threats against the actor. The move is seen as a possible turning point for Kim Soo Hyun as he works to restore his reputation.
However, his future projects remain uncertain. Production of his Disney Plus series Knock Off was put on hold during the controversy, and it is still unclear when filming will resume.
While fans are happy to see Kim Soo Hyun return, many are hoping he recovers from the difficult period and makes a successful comeback.
