Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, announced they will release a detailed statement next week to address recent accusations made by the YouTube channel ‘HOVERLAB.’ The agency aims to counter what they call “baseless rumors and allegations” with factual evidence. This decision comes after ‘HOVERLAB’ claimed Kim Soo Hyun had a six-year relationship with actress Kim Sae Ron.
Agency’s Delayed Response
Gold Medalist apologized for the delay in their response. They stated the delay is to ensure they can fully address the “rampant spread of one-sided claims.” Industry insiders report that Kim Soo Hyun and his agency are working on the exact details of the upcoming press statement. This will be Kim Soo Hyun’s first direct response since his agency reiterated their “previous position” on March 12.
‘HOVERLAB’ Allegations
The ‘HOVERLAB’ YouTube channel alleged that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship from 2016, when Kim Sae Ron was 15 years old. They claimed the relationship ended after Kim Sae Ron’s 2022 DUI incident. ‘HOVERLAB’ further alleged that Gold Medalist demanded Kim Sae Ron pay 700 million KRW in damages related to the Netflix drama ‘Bloodhounds.’ They also claimed Kim Soo Hyun ignored and blocked Kim Sae Ron’s attempts to ask for more time to pay the debt.
Gold Medalist’s Denial and ‘HOVERLAB’s’ Further Claims
Gold Medalist initially denied all allegations, stating they were “entirely false” and promising “the severest legal measures possible.” In response, ‘HOVERLAB’ released photos, messages, and letters reportedly exchanged between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron, claiming these were provided by Kim Sae Ron’s family.
Potential Impact on Kim Soo Hyun
The ongoing rumors could have serious consequences for Kim Soo Hyun, potentially affecting his advertisement contracts and appearances in dramas and TV productions. He is currently filming the Disney+ original series ‘Knock-Off.’
