據韓國《首爾新聞》4月1日報道，在韓國男演員金秀賢現身記者會否認與已故女演員金賽綸未成年時期交往過的同一天（3月31日），韓國國會請愿網站出現“要求將現行未成年性自主決定權從16周歲提高到19周歲”的請愿。

A heated debate continues over allegations involving actor Kim Soo-hyun (37) and the late actress Kim Sae-ron (25) regarding "underage dating". In response, a public petition has emerged, calling for an increase in the age of consent for statutory rape laws.

請愿者進一步強調，為防止此類事件再次發生，提出以《金秀賢防治法》為名的請愿，希望擴大保護范圍，將現行保護13周歲以上16周歲以下兒童的未成年人法定強奸罪適用年齡，提高至13周歲以上19歲以下，并加強刑罰。

The petitioner directly referenced Kim Soo-hyun's case, stating that with the current legal framework, there is no way to hold the actor accountable, regardless of the allegations being made against him. The petitioner stated, "We request that the current age range of 13 to under 16 for statutory rape protection be raised to 13 to under 19, and that penalties be strengthened."

韓媒“今日體育”網站稱，截至4月1日中午，該請愿在發布僅一天后，獲得了超過1.7萬人同意。在韓國，國民請愿若在公開之日起30天內獲得5萬人以上同意，便會提交至國會相關常務委員會審議，若審議通過，將提交至國會全體會議。

Public reaction to the petition has been swift and overwhelmingly supportive. Within just hours of being filed, the petition had already amassed over 20,000 signatures. According to the National Assembly's procedural rules, if a petition gathers more than 50,000 signatures within 30 days, it will be formally reviewed by the legislative body's subcommittee.

韓國紐西斯通訊社稱，在金秀賢3月31日召開記者會后，社交媒體上充斥著海外粉絲的批評。截至4月1日11時，X平臺的實時熱搜中出現了“假眼淚”“明星金秀賢”“眼淚之王”等關鍵詞。觀看了金秀賢記者會的海外網民批評說，“他像是以演員身份，而不是作為一個普通人出現在記者會現場。”“這就是鱷魚的眼淚，再次讓逝者成為說謊者?！薄八踔翛]有道歉，連一絲悔意都沒有……”
