Kim Soo Hyun has recently been caught up in controversy after rumors surfaced about his alleged past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-Ron. The rumors gained traction when Kim Sae-Ron’s aunt made shocking claims on a YouTube channel called Garosero Research Institute.
According to her, Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae-Ron had been in a six-year relationship, which supposedly started when she was just 15 years old. She also accused the actor of distancing himself from her after her DUI (driving under the influence) case in 2022. Furthermore, she alleged that Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, played a role in Kim Sae-Ron’s financial troubles, which she believes contributed to the actress’s tragic passing last month.
Kim Soo Hyun’s Agency Responds
Following these serious accusations, Gold Medalist released a firm statement denying all allegations. The agency dismissed the claims as “baseless and malicious,” emphasizing that the rumors were entirely false.
“The claims made by Garosero Research Institute regarding Kim Soo Hyun on YouTube today are completely false. They alleged that our company and Kim Soo Hyun colluded with YouTuber Lee Jin Ho to harass the late Kim Sae-Ron, that Kim Soo Hyun had been dating her since she was 15, and that our agency’s response to her drunk driving accident was unfair,” the statement read.
Gold Medalist further stated that they are considering legal action against the YouTube channel for spreading misinformation. They also condemned the spread of false rumors and cyber harassment, which they believe caused significant distress to Kim Sae-Ron during her lifetime.
Mourning Kim Sae-Ron’s Loss
Despite firmly rejecting the allegations, the agency expressed sorrow over Kim Sae-Ron’s passing. “We are deeply heartbroken by the news of the late Kim Sae-Ron’s death, as she was once part of our company, and we mourn her passing,” they said.
However, they also criticized the Garosero Research Institute for spreading unverified rumors that could harm people’s reputations. The agency urged the public and fans to stop spreading false information, as it could further damage those involved.
Public Reaction and Next Steps
The controversy has sparked widespread discussions among fans and the general public. While some believe that Kim Sae-Ron’s aunt is only trying to reveal hidden truths, others support Kim Soo Hyun and his agency, condemning the spread of baseless accusations.
With legal action now being considered, it remains to be seen how this controversy will unfold. In the meantime, both Kim Soo Hyun’s agency and supporters continue to call for an end to the spread of false information and respect for the privacy of those affected.
As the entertainment industry mourns the loss of Kim Sae-Ron, many hope that the situation will be resolved fairly and truthfully, without causing further harm to those involved.
