In a shocking twist to recent events involving the late actress Kim Sae Ron, a video from 2008 featuring Super Junior’s Yesung has resurfaced online, showcasing a protective side of the beloved K-Pop star. This revelation comes amidst serious allegations facing actor Kim Soo Hyun, shedding light on the dynamics of celebrity behavior in the industry.

The resurfaced footage captures a moment when the now-convicted sex offender, Go Young Wook, approaches a young Goo Hara—just 17 years old at the time—and offers her his business card, urging her to get in touch with him. This alarming situation led to swift action from Yesung, who intervened by trying to take the card away from Go.

Despite Go Young Wook's insistence, Yesung ultimately snatched the card from him, later tearing it up on camera. His actions at that moment were not just a protective measure; they also inadvertently shielded Goo Hara from any potential future harassment, allowing her to avoid awkwardness in case of Go Young Wook’s follow-up.

Back in 2008, Yesung faced criticism for his actions during the broadcast, with some branding him a "jerk" for disrupting the moment. However, fast forward to the present day, Korean netizens have had a change of heart, praising Yesung for his vigilance and courage in a situation that could have spiraled out of control.

This incident speaks volumes about the culture surrounding K-Pop idols and their responsibilities toward their young fans, especially as societal awareness about harassment and safety continues to rise. In light of recent tragic events within the industry, this moment serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting vulnerable individuals in the entertainment world.

As more discussions arise about the safety of idols and young stars, Yesung's actions stand as a testament to the positive role models that can emerge from the spotlight, even amidst challenging circumstances.
