Actor Kim Soo-hyun / Yonhap

Actor Kim Soo-hyun has officially resumed his entertainment career.

His agency, Gold Medalist, confirmed to Xportsnews on Tuesday that Kim was filming a commercial video and photo shoot for Philippine fashion brand Bench.

Kim had effectively suspended his entertainment activities in March last year after allegations surrounding his relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron surfaced. Monday's commercial shoot marks his first official activities in about 16 months, signaling the start of his return to the entertainment industry.

Kim was accused of having dated Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor. He denied the allegation, maintaining that the two began dating only after she had reached adulthood.
