 Actor Kim Soo-hyun has acknowledged his past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron but strongly refuted allegations that their relationship began when she was a minor.

Kim Soo-hyun’s Agency Responds to Allegations 🚨

On March 14, Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, released an official statement:

"Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron dated from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020, after she became an adult. The claim that they were in a relationship when she was a minor is completely false."

The agency also addressed photos used as "evidence" by the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute (Gaseyeon):

  • 📸 The photos shared by Kim Sae-ron on March 24, 2023, and those revealed by Gaseyeon on March 11, 2025, were both taken in the winter of 2020, when the two were dating as adults.
  • 👗 The outfit Kim Sae-ron wore in the photos was released by a fashion brand in June 2019, proving that the pictures could not have been taken in 2016 as Gaseyeon claims.
  • ❌ The claim that Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron were in a relationship since 2015, when she was 15 years old, is impossible.

Legal Expert Weighs In ⚖️

During a segment on YTN Newsquare 2PM, attorney Lee Go-eun explained:

  • Under South Korean law (amended in May 2020), engaging in sexual activity with a minor under 16 is a criminal offense.
  • 🔙 However, before 2020, the age limit was 13. Since Kim Sae-ron was 15 in 2015, the older law applies.
  • 🏛️ Simply dating a minor is not illegal. For legal action, there must be evidence of sexual involvement, which has not been proven in this case.

YouTube Channel’s Claims & Kim Soo-hyun’s Response 🎤

On March 10, Kim Sae-ron’s family shared claims through Gaseyeon that:

  • Kim Soo-hyun had dated Kim Sae-ron for six years, starting in 2015.
  • 🗣️ Kim Soo-hyun ignored Kim Sae-ron's requests for financial help after her DUI incident.
  • 📩 Kim Soo-hyun wrote love letters to Kim Sae-ron during his military service.

Gold Medalist strongly denied these allegations, calling them false and defamatory:

"Gaseyeon’s claims are entirely untrue. We are considering the strongest possible legal action."

However, Gaseyeon later revealed additional private messages and a photo of Kim Soo-hyun kissing Kim Sae-ron on the cheek, intensifying the controversy.


Psychological Pressure on Kim Soo-hyun 🏠📷

Gold Medalist described the intense pressure Kim Soo-hyun faced after the allegations:

  • 🎥 On March 12, people with cameras were seen monitoring his home and office parking lot late into the night.
  • 🚷 On March 13, paparazzi continued to linger near his building.
  • 😨 Kim Soo-hyun has been experiencing severe emotional distress due to accusations linking him to Kim Sae-ron’s tragic passing.

Gold Medalist’s Final Rebuttal 🔍

Kim Soo-hyun’s agency systematically debunked each claim:

  • 🎄 The Christmas Eve 2019 photo used as "evidence" was authenticated with metadata proving its actual date.
  • 🖼️ Every picture used by Gaseyeon to support their claim of a 2015 relationship was actually taken after Kim Sae-ron turned 19.
  • 📜 The military letter was just one of many sent to friends and acquaintances. Phrases like “I miss you” were meant in a platonic way.
  • 🏦 Kim Soo-hyun did not ignore Kim Sae-ron’s financial struggles. Instead, Gold Medalist covered her remaining debt after her DUI incident.

Kim Sae-ron’s Mother Speaks Out 🗣️

Kim Sae-ron’s mother also made a statement through Gaseyeon:

"Our goal is to restore my daughter’s damaged reputation. She never lied to the media, engaged in gambling, or deceived anyone with false claims of working part-time jobs. She was a promising actress whose life was ruined by malicious online attacks."

She emphasized that cyberbullying and sensationalized media coverage contributed to her daughter’s struggles.


The Tragic Passing of Kim Sae-ron 🕊️

On February 16, 2025, Kim Sae-ron was found deceased in her home at the age of 25.

  • 🗓️ February 16 was also Kim Soo-hyun’s birthday.
  • 👥 A friend who had arranged to meet her discovered her and called the police.
  • 🚔 Authorities found no signs of forced entry or foul play and suspect suicide.

Final Thoughts ✍️
