JAKARTA - One of the well-known South Korean actors, Kim Soo Hyun, is in the spotlight after his love affair with the late Kim Sae Ron was exposed. News about their relationship appeared in the Garosero Research Institute YouTube report, with a source who is Kim Sae Ron's aunt.

One of the things presented in the report is the relationship between the two, which started when Kim Sae Ron was a minor, which was 2016. At that time Kim Soo Hyun was 27 years old, while Kim Sae Ron was 15 years old.

Kim Soo Hyun's action to look for minors is included in child groundbreaking. Although this news was denied by Kim Soo Hyun, many netizens gave criticism to highlight the child groundbreaking.

Quoted from Bravehearts, on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, child groundbreaking is a time when one builds an emotional relationship, trust, and connection with a child. It aims to manipulate, exploit, to sexually abuse children.

This process usually takes place gradually and can take a long time. The perpetrator will try to gain trust not only from the victim, but also from the victim's family or closest people.

Child groundbreaking generally goes through several stages, namely the perpetrator targets victims, builds trust by paying more attention, then isolating victims, introducing sexual elements, and controlling relationships.

This child groundbreaking act has a serious impact on children's mental and emotional health. Victims can experience emotional disorders, anxiety, depression, loss of confidence, and withdraw from the social environment because they feel afraid and embarrassed.

With this dangerous impact, prevention of child groundbreaking must be done. To prevent this from happening to children, an active role is needed from parents and adults around children who really care. Some steps can be taken as follows:

- Education about boundaries. Teach children about healthy boundaries in relationships with adults. - Supervision of online activities. Parents must monitor their children's online activities and discuss the dangers of interacting with foreigners on the internet.- Open communication. Form an environment where children feel comfortable talking about what they are experiencing.
