Korean online communities and international social media platforms continue to be filled with news about Kim Soo Hyun's ongoing controversy involving the late Kim Sae Ron.

In particular, Korean netizens have been shedding light on different past articles and sparking various discussions about Kim Soo Hyun on popular forums, including TheQoo. 

Following the latest revelations from Kim Sae Ron's bereaved family, netizens took to the popular online community to unearth a Tous Les Jours ad from 2012 featuring Kim Soo Hyun and Won Bin.

One netizen wrote a post titled, "Won Bin and Kim Soo Hyun filmed an ad for Tous Les Jours together." The netizen posted an article from February 2012 that said, "Kim Soo Hyun from 'The Moon Embracing The Sun' is better than Won Bin in his 20s" and explained, "The content of that article is that visuals are one of the basic qualities of an actor, and that Kim Soo Hyun surpasses Won Bin in his early 20s in talent. With a headline like that, we can't avoid comparing their visuals right?" 

The netizen explained an excerpt from the article that said, "Producer Choi Moon Seok, who cast Kim Soo Hyun as high schooler in 'Will It Snow for Christmas?,' said 'Visual and voice' as key factors. He explained that 'if visuals are what the audience sees, voice is what they hear. Both are fundamental qualities of an actor.' He further stated, 'Compared to top stars like Jang Dong Gun, Won Bin, So Ji Sub, in their early 20s, Kim Soo Hyun surpasses them in acting skills and overall talent'." 

However, the netizen refuted the 2012 article, claiming that Kim Soo Hyun couldn't possibly surpass Won Bin's visuals when he was in his early 20s. The netizen posted photos and videos of Won Bin and also captures of the Tous Les Jours ad to compare the two actors.

Korean netizens also refuted the article from 2012 and commented:

"There's a reason why Kang Dong Won and Won Bin are referred to as Kang Dong-Won Bin as legendary visuals."

"Won Bin looks so crazy handsome."

"That article is so wrong."

"Won Bin is on another level."

"Even if you bring in all the good-looking celebrities today, none of them can beat Won Bin... Personally, I think today's celebrities are generally better-looking than older ones, but Won Bin is on another level. No wonder people still can't forget him even though he hasn’t worked in ages."

"How could you even compare the two?"

"Apologize to Won Bin. Why are you even trying to compare something that can't be compared."

"They’re on completely different levels."

"For real, what did Won Bin ever do to deserve this?"

"KSH looks like a squid next to Won Bin."

"No way in hell is Kim Soo Hyun better than Won Bin. LOL. Won Bin, please come back."

"I'm going to be honest now, but I never thought Kim Soo Hyun was good-looking."

"Won Bin's visuals are just so crazy."

"Please don't compare the two."

"Won Bin is all-time number 1 when it comes to visuals."

"He can't even compare. Why are they comparing Won Bin and Kim Soo Hyun?"
