Gold Medalist clarifies Kim Soo Hyun’s role in Kim Sae Ron’s debt, denies he ignored her pleas, and addresses agency’s handling of the financial dispute

Gold Medalist, the agency representing Kim Soo Hyun, released a statement clarifying the actor’s involvement in Kim Sae Ron’s debt issues. The statement aimed to address circulating rumors and provide factual information regarding the situation.

Agency’s Stance on Kim Sae Ron’s Debt

Gold Medalist explained that Kim Sae Ron’s debt was a matter between her and the agency. In early 2024, during an accounting audit, they faced the decision of how to handle the debt. Legal and accounting firms advised that simply writing off the debt could lead to legal issues for the company and its executives. Therefore, they needed to demonstrate that Kim Sae Ron was in a state of “unrecoverable” financial distress.

To establish this, the agency sent a formal notice to Kim Sae Ron. This was not an attempt to pressure her for repayment but a procedural step to confirm that the debt was officially being written off. The agency also mentioned that forgiving the debt could result in Kim Sae Ron having to pay a gift tax.

Kim Soo Hyun’s Involvement and Agency’s Advice

The agency clarified that Kim Soo Hyun never lent Kim Sae Ron money nor pressured her for repayment. They stated that the text message Kim Sae Ron sent to Kim Soo Hyun on March 19, 2024, regarding her financial situation, must be understood within the context of the agency’s procedural steps.

According to Gold Medalist, Kim Sae Ron had left the agency and lacked sufficient legal knowledge regarding her debt. This led her to contact Kim Soo Hyun, who was not involved in the matter. By then, the two had been separated for four years. Upon receiving her message, Kim Soo Hyun inquired about the situation with Gold Medalist. The agency advised him that since Kim Sae Ron might not have had full legal understanding of the issue, he should avoid responding without expert consultation. The agency reassured him that they would handle the matter professionally to prevent misunderstandings.

Resolution of the Debt and Agency’s Response to Speculation

Gold Medalist stated that on March 26, 2024, Kim Sae Ron’s legal representative expressed appreciation for the agency’s past support and acknowledged her responsibility to settle the damages. They proposed discussions to confirm the exact amount owed and plan a repayment strategy. As a result, the financial dispute between Gold Medalist and Kim Sae Ron was resolved, and the agency never demanded repayment after writing off the debt.

The agency addressed the speculation linking Kim Sae Ron’s passing, which occurred a year later, to this financial matter. They stated that it is an extreme and unfounded speculation. Gold Medalist emphasized that they made every effort to support Kim Sae Ron, even foregoing repayment while ensuring she would not incur additional tax liabilities. The agency also set the interest and late fees on the debt at 0%. They consider the suggestion that this process was an attempt to pressure her for repayment a deliberate distortion of the facts and find it deeply distressing and malicious to falsely portray this as the cause of her passing.
