Rumors surrounding Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun’s alleged relationship surfaced before her aunt’s recent reveal. A netizen’s comment, posted weeks before the official expose, hinted that the relationship was already known.
The Aunt’s Revelation
Kim Se Ui of Garo Sero Institute shared a phone conversation with Kim Sae Ron’s aunt. The aunt claimed that Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun began dating in 2015, when she was 15 and he was 27. Their relationship reportedly lasted six years, ending in 2021. In 2019, after Kim Soo Hyun started his company, GOLD MEDALIST, Kim Sae Ron joined him, leaving YG Entertainment.
GOLD MEDALIST also paid ₩700 million KRW (approximately $483,000 USD) during Kim Sae Ron’s DUI incident. The aunt stated that the company initially did not ask for repayment. However, in 2024, they suddenly requested the money back.
Prior Knowledge?
A netizen’s comment, posted two weeks before the expose, suggests that the relationship was already known. The comment appeared on a YouTube video discussing Kim Sae Ron’s incident.

Netizen: “They dated for a long time, over 6 years at least. He wouldn’t even give her a second glance after her incident, so it’s true she asked him for help like that at the very least.”
Other netizen: “Is this true?”
Other netizen: “Celebrities can’t date one person for 6 years. It’s hard for even normal people to in this day and age. There’s no pure man like him…”
This comment indicates that some people were aware of the alleged relationship before the aunt’s public statement. The comment also shows public sentiment about the relationship and the company’s handling of the DUI incident.
