Outdoor fashion brand Eider has removed all images of actor Kim Soo Hyun from its official social media platforms. This action follows allegations of a past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron. Only IVE’s Wonyoung remains as a featured model on Eider’s accounts.
Social Media Purge
Eider’s decision to remove Kim Soo Hyun’s images extends beyond social media. His photos were also deleted from the Eider section of K-Village’s official website. This complete removal signifies a swift response to the ongoing controversy.

Allegations and Agency Response
The controversy began when the bereaved family of Kim Sae Ron alleged, through the YouTube channel ‘Garosero Research Institute,’ that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a romantic relationship from 2015 to 2021. They claimed the relationship started when Kim Sae Ron was 15.
Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has firmly denied these allegations, labeling them “unfounded falsehoods that cannot be overlooked.”
However, the situation escalated with the reported release of text messages and photos. These photos show Kim Soo Hyun giving Kim Sae Ron a cheek kiss, and letters he allegedly wrote to her during his military service. These reports intensified public scrutiny, raising concerns about possible grooming behavior.
Agency’s Further Statement
On March 13, Gold Medalist released another statement. “We will clarify the facts and address these baseless rumors with clear evidence next week. We sincerely apologize for causing prolonged distress and kindly ask for understanding as we refrain from further media reports on the matter.”
The public awaits the agency’s promised evidence. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected.
