A former employee of Gold Medalist, the agency co-founded by actor Kim Soo Hyun, has made serious allegations against the company. The claims center around actress Seo Ye Ji, suggesting she was unfairly targeted and used as a “shield” to cover up internal issues. The comment also brings up the late actress Kim Sae Ron.
Allegations of Fabricated Scandals
A YouTube comment from user @KimSeol24356, which has gone viral, alleges that Gold Medalist deliberately spread false information about Seo Ye Ji. The user claims to be a former employee who was fired for attempting to leak information to media outlets.

“Hello, everyone. I wish to remain anonymous. Four years ago, I worked at GOLD MEDALIST but was fired after leaking important information about actress Seo Ye Ji to Dispatch and OSN reporters. However, the reporters I contacted did not use any of the information I provided because Lee Sa Rang instructed them not to, claiming it would damage the management’s reputation. What I want to say is that actor Kim Soo Hyun and his cousin Lee Sa Rang had a lot of issues, and actress Seo Ye Ji was used as a shield. Some of the negative claims about her actually came from within the management. GOLD MEDALIST deliberately provided false information about Seo Ye Ji to Dispatch in order to cover up their own wrongdoings. They even paid people to spread lies about her.”

According to the comment, claims that Seo Ye Ji was rude to staff and involved in a school bullying scandal were fabricated by Gold Medalist. The user alleges that these rumors were intentionally spread to damage her reputation.
Seo Ye Ji’s Contract and Kim Sae Ron’s Connection
The former employee also alleges that Seo Ye Ji renewed her contract with Gold Medalist in 2021, trusting the agency to protect her best interests. However, the commenter asserts that she was “used, and the management made enormous profits through her.”

“Actress Seo Ye Ji trusted Kim Soo Hyun, so she renewed her contract with GOLD MEDALIST. However, in the end, she was used, and the management made enormous profits through her. Note that actor Kim Jung Hyun once stated that he would file a lawsuit against his former management for spreading false information about Seo Ye Ji, but [as her management, GOLD MEDALIST] never disclosed this. Furthermore, even when her second K-Drama, Eve, aired, the management refused to promote it actively.”

The comment also makes a connection to the late actress Kim Sae Ron, hinting that she possessed knowledge of “important facts.” The user expressed a desire to reach out to Kim Sae Ron’s parents.

“There is much more to this story. Actress Kim Sae Ron knew some important facts. That is why I want to send this message to Kim Sae Ron’s parents. If you look through her pink-covered diary, you will discover more truth about what happened between Kim Sae Ron and actor Kim Soo Hyun. But I also want to assure them not to worry. In the end, GOLD MEDALIST will unknowingly expose itself.”

It is important to note that these allegations are currently unverified.
It is also important to remember, that recently, Seo Ye Ji signed an exclusive contract with Sublime Entertainment. That occured on June 25th.
