Korean Netizens abuzz after actress Kim Sae Ron posts a surprising photo with heartthrob Kim Soo Hyun, only to delete it shortly after.

The internet is buzzing after a photo showing Korean A-listers Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron in a seemingly intimate pose surfaced online briefly on March 24, 2024. The photo, posted by Kim Sae Ron herself on her Instagram account, showed the two actors cheek-to-cheek, sparking immediate dating rumors. However, the photo was taken down just as quickly, leaving fans guessing and Korean netizens in a frenzy.

A Photo, A Past Rumor, and A Lot of Shock

The photo sent shockwaves through Korean social media, largely due to two reasons. Firstly, Kim Sae Ron’s image has been tarnished in recent years. In 2022, she was involved in a DUI accident that received significant negative press. To make matters worse, she was seen partying shortly after the incident, further damaging her public reputation.

Secondly, the age gap between the two stars is quite significant. Kim Soo Hyun is 12 years older than Kim Sae Ron. This detail, coupled with the nature of the photo, fueled speculation of a potential romantic relationship. Interestingly, rumors of the two dating had circulated a few years back, but were never confirmed.

Netizens React: A Mixture of Confusion and Curiosity

Korean netizens, known for their active online presence, were quick to react to the surprising photo. Many expressed shock at the seemingly close relationship between the two actors. Some netizens even dug up past rumors, further igniting the speculation of a romance.

Here’s a glimpse into what online communities were saying:

• Things have been fun recently…
• There was talk back then that they dated. It was around 3 years ago I think.
• It’s already so fun.
• Did she make a mistake with her accounts?
• Kim Sae Ron as in Kim Sae Ron from Ahjussi? Wait a minute. What’s the age difference then? Gasp, insane.
• Wow.
• Even if it was me, I’d want to upload a photo slyly to brag if my boyfriend was Kim Soo Hyun.
• She pretended it was a mistake to serve it to him. If they were dating now, there’s no chance that she would want to serve one to him. A smooth breakup is so rare these days.
• Do you really think it was a mistake? LOL.

The confusion surrounding the photo’s deletion also fueled online discussions. Some netizens questioned if it was an accidental post, while others offered more cynical takes. The fact that Kim Soo Hyun is currently enjoying renewed popularity with his drama “Queen of Tears” added another layer to the online chatter.

Whether the photo was an honest mistake or a deliberate attempt to spark attention remains a mystery. Kim Sae Ron has yet to address the situation publicly, leaving fans and netizens to speculate. The sudden appearance and deletion of the photo have undoubtedly generated significant buzz, both positive and negative.

The impact of this incident on Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron’s careers remains to be seen. Kim Soo Hyun, currently riding high on the success of his drama, might escape relatively unscathed. However, for Kim Sae Ron, still recovering from her past controversies, this incident could be a setback.

Only time will tell how this story unfolds. But one thing is certain: the intimate photo has reignited dating rumors and left Korean netizens eagerly waiting for answers.
