The woman who has raised the SS501 star's eldest son alone faced a flood of harsh comments from his international supporters and answered them instead of dodging them.
SEEU, the mother of SS501 member Kim Hyunjoong's first son, faced a wave of hostile messages from some of his overseas fans during a TikTok livestream on Oct. 26.
She had set up the broadcast to talk with her own followers. Instead, the chat filled with sharp criticism from the singer's international supporters, according to a Naver report cited by Koreaboo. SEEU did not sidestep the messages. She responded to them calmly and firmly.
Her history with Kim Hyunjoong goes back more than a decade. The two began dating in 2012 and stayed together for three years.
The breakup turned into a run of legal fights. Those disputes included assault allegations and a paternity suit.
The paternity case ended with a test that confirmed Kim Hyunjoong as the boy's biological father. SEEU gave birth to their son in 2015 and has raised him as a single parent ever since.
Kim Hyunjoong has since started a new family. He married a non-celebrity in 2022, and his second son was born that year.
The livestream is part of SEEU's new public life. A report published Oct. 22 said she had begun working in entertainment under the stage name SEEU.
