<p>The controversy erupted in March when a woman claiming to be Kim Sae-ron&rsquo;s aunt alleged in a YouTube video that Kim Soo-hyun had dated the actress when she was underage. According to her, the relationship began when Kim Sae-ron was only 15.</p>
<p>Following Kim Sae-ron&rsquo;s tragic suicide in February, further allegations surfaced, with her family claiming that Kim Soo-hyun&rsquo;s talent agency, Gold Medalist, initially covered her 2022 DUI fine of $400,000 without expecting reimbursement but later demanded repayment. The family alleged that financial stress and a failing career contributed to her passing.</p>

<h2>Early attempts to bring Deadpool to life</h2>
<p>Rumours of a Deadpool movie started circulating in the early 2000s. Reynolds, a longtime fan of the character, was first attached to a Deadpool film in 2004, with a script by David S. Goyer. However, the project fell apart. In 2005, 20th Century Fox showed interest in making the film, but it never progressed beyond the boardroom.</p>

<h2>The long road to production</h2>
<p>By 2010, discussions of a proper Deadpool film resurfaced, with Reynolds still attached and Tim Miller brought on as director in 2011. However, after Reynolds&rsquo; <em>Green Lantern</em> movie flopped in 2011, Fox hesitated to move forward.

<p>That might have been the end of Deadpool, but in 2014, someone leaked the test footage online. The viral response and overwhelming fan support, including multiple petitions, led to Fox finally greenlighting the movie. Production officially began in 2015.</p>
