Alleged text messages from Kim Sae Ron to Kim Soo Hyun have surfaced, revealing her desperate pleas for more time to repay a substantial debt. The messages add another layer to the ongoing controversy surrounding their past relationship and financial dealings.
Alleged Relationship and Financial Struggles
The controversy began with claims from Kim Se Ui of Garo Sero Institute that Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun were in a romantic relationship from 2015 to 2021. This claim places the start of their relationship when Kim Sae Ron was 15 and Kim Soo Hyun was 27. Following these claims, alleged text messages from Kim Sae Ron to Kim Soo Hyun became public.
The texts reveal that Kim Sae Ron is reportedly struggling to repay 700 million KRW (approximately USD 483,000) that Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, GOLD MEDALIST, covered after her DUI incident.
Kim Sae Ron’s Desperate Plea
According to The Qoo, Kim Sae Ron’s message reads:
“Oppa, this is Sae Ron. I received the legal notice, it says you’re suing me… You said you would give me plenty of time, so I’ve been working hard to prepare for my comeback. I plan to gradually pay back a percentage from each project I take on. I’m not saying that I won’t pay the money back, but if you ask me for 700 Million KRW right now, I just physically can’t. Do we really have to resort to a lawsuit? Please save me… I’m begging you. Please give me some time.”
Reports claimed the blurred phone number in the screenshot belonged to Kim Soo Hyun. Reports also indicate the text message was sent on March 19, 2024, five days before Kim Sae Ron posted a photo with Kim Soo Hyun on social media. Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, quickly denied dating rumors following the photo’s release, labeling it a “self-dating scandal.”
Previous Claims and Legal Response
On March 10, GaSeYeon cited claims from Kim Sae Ron’s family:
“The deceased dated Kim Soo Hyun for six years since she was 15. She later transferred to another agency at Kim Soo Hyun’s recommendation but did not receive proper protection from either the agency or Kim Soo Hyun.”
Gold Medalist issued a firm denial:
“These claims are clearly false. These are all false allegations that we absolutely cannot tolerate, and we plan to consider taking the strongest legal action possible against Garosero Research Institute for spreading false information.”
Netizen Reactions and Ongoing Controversy
The emergence of these messages has sparked a range of reactions from netizens. Some question the timing of the revelations, while others debate whether Kim Soo Hyun should have offered more support, given their alleged long-term relationship. The public remains divided on the matter, with many awaiting further developments.
