Child actor Wang Suk Hyun is all grown up now!

 

The 16-year-old actor recently returned to acting by making a surprise cameo in the first episode of SBS’s new drama “30 But 17.” He took the role of a high school boy named Yoon Sun Woo who has the biggest crush on the lead character Woo Seo Ri (older version played by Shin Hye Sun).

 

In the scene, he held out a bouquet of flowers to her and boldly declared, “Ich Liebe Dich. [I love you]. Let’s get married.” Then he was scolded by the teacher for his confession and even got reprimanded for wearing a long belt. His witty response was an awkward dance along with his poor excuse, saying, “This is hip hop style!”

 

 

 

Wang Suk Hyun became a star after appearing in the 2008 hit film “Scandal Makers.” After acting in the drama “Can’t Live Without You” in 2012, he stopped appearing on TV, but he appeared in tvN’s variety show “Leaving the Nest 3” this past April.

Man Receives Jail Sentence For Death Threats Against Wang Suk Hyun

 

Source: Soompi by L. Kim

 

In the first trial for the man in his 30s (hereafter known as “A”) who made a death threat to actor Wang Suk Hyun, the court announced his sentence.

 

On May 16, Yang Chul Han, the chief judge of the Seoul Eastern District Court, sentenced “A” to ten months in prison.

 

In December of last year, “A” was arrested and indicted on charges of calling Wang Suk Hyun’s school and agency and spreading false information saying that the actor had stolen things and then threatening to kill him.

 

The court stated, “It is unavoidable for ‘A’ to receive severe punishment due to his obsession with a celebrity and threatening him. We also considered the victim suffering from severe fear.” They added, “‘A’ has a history of being treated for Asperger’s syndrome, but he is not believed to have been mentally challenged at the time of the crime.”

 

In January, Wang Suk Hyun opened up about the incident at the press conference for his drama “A Pledge to God.”

A man was jailed for 10 months Thursday for making death threats to teenage actor Wang Seok-hyeon, whom he once was obsessed with.

 

The man, identified by the surname Lee, in his 30s, appeared in the Seoul Eastern District Court charged with falsely accusing the 16-year-old actor of theft and threatening to kill him. The death threats were made in phone calls to Wang's agency and Dankook University Middle School, where the star attended, last December. 

 

Lee said during police questioning that he had been Wang's fan for a long time but became upset when he could not meet the actor. 

 

During the trial, Lee claimed he was suffering from Asperger's syndrome. But the court ruled that the defendant was in a stable mental state when committing the crime.

 

"Given that the defendant made death threats from his obsession with the actor, the court concluded that severe punishment is inevitable," the judge said. 

 

Wang is managed by STX Lionheart Entertainment. He debuted in 2008 in the hit movie "Scandal Makers," starring actress Park Bo-young. In December, he won the Best Child Actor award at the 2018 MBC Drama Awards for his role in the TV drama "A pledge to God."
