The age difference between actor Kim Soo Hyun and his rumored girlfriend, actress Kim Sae Ron, has recently become a topic of intense discussion. This comes after an intimate photo of the two was posted by Kim Sae Ron, fueling rumors about their relationship.
Kim Soo Hyun, who is currently appearing in the popular drama “Queen Of Tears,” and Kim Sae Ron, who has been on an acting hiatus since her 2022 DUI case, were under the same label, Goldmetalist, until Kim Sae Ron’s scandal led to her departure.
A recently resurfaced photo shows a young Kim Sae Ron posing with an older Kim Soo Hyun, highlighting the significant age gap between the two. Kim Sae Ron was active in the industry for over a decade, debuting as a child actress at nine in the 2009 film “A Brand New Life.” The photo appears to be from this earlier stage in her career.

Kim Soo Hyun also began his career around this time, making his television debut in 2007. However, in 2009, Kim Soo Hyun was already 21, meaning the gap between the two is 12 years.
A netizen reflected on this in a post, using Kim Sae Ron’s mother’s age to show just how large the age gap is. Kim Sae Ron’s mom was born in 1980, Kim Soo Hyun in 1988, and Kim Sae Ron in 2000. So Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron’s mom have an 8 year age gap, while Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun have a 12 year gap.
