A petition pushing for stronger laws against sexual offenses involving minors, known as the "Kim Soo Hyun Prevention Law", has gained significant attention and is now on its way to the National Assembly.

The petition, titled “Proposal to raise the age for statutory rape of minors and strengthen punishment, also known as the 'Kim Soo Hyun Prevention Law'” was posted on March 31 on the National Petition page.

As of April 9, it has already gained over 54,000 signatures, surpassing the 50,000 signature requirement for it to be reviewed in the National Assembly.

The petition calls for the age limit for statutory rape of minors to be increased from the current age range of 13 to 16 years old to 13 to 19 years old, as well as for harsher punishments for offenders.

The push for this law comes after accusations that actor Kim Soo Hyun was involved with the late Kim Sae Ron, who was a minor at the time of their alleged relationship.

Due to the large number of signatures, the petition will now be reviewed by the National Assembly, where lawmakers will decide whether to bring it to a larger discussion.

Petitions that gather over 50,000 signatures within 30 days are transferred to the relevant committee, and the National Assembly has 90 days to decide if it will go to the plenary session.

Meanwhile, Kim Sae Ron’s family has made serious allegations, claiming that Kim Soo Hyun and his former agency, Gold Medalist, were involved in her tragic death.

They say Kim Soo Hyun had a relationship with her while she was still a minor and that she endured financial pressure due to debt from her former agency.

In response, Kim Soo Hyun held a press conference on March 31, where he tearfully denied the accusations and clarified his position.

Despite his emotional plea, public opinion has largely remained unchanged. Kim Soo Hyun also announced he would be filing a defamation lawsuit against Kim Sae Ron’s family and the YouTubers involved, seeking 12 billion won in damages.

The legal and social implications of the case continue to develop, with the National Assembly now preparing to address the petition and potential legal reforms.

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
