After serving his mandatory two-year military service from March 2015 to 2017, Kim Hyun Joong made his comeback in the 2018 drama “When Time Stopped.” In 2020, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Kim Hyun Joon, stating that the charges brought against him were both fraudulent and defamatory, as the evidence brought against him had been clearly falsified. Though his public reputation was severely damaged as a result of the ongoing lawsuits, Kim Hyun Joong has rallied since the 2020 verdict, releasing two solo albums, holding an online concert, and taking the lead role in the film, “Indian Pink” (2021).
