Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, addressed rumors circulating about his relationship with Kim Sae Ron. The agency confirmed they did date, but only after Kim Sae Ron reached adulthood. Gold Medalist also refuted claims made by Garo Sero Institute regarding the timeline of their relationship.
Agency Responds to Garo Sero Institute Claims
Gold Medalist released statements on March 14, addressing claims made by Garo Sero Institute. The agency expressed concern for Kim Soo Hyun’s mental health, which they said deteriorated due to false claims.
The agency stated that Kim Soo Hyun experienced “extreme confusion and chaos” due to claims he was responsible for Kim Sae Ron’s “sudden death.” Gold Medalist also mentioned that individuals with cameras were waiting outside their building after a live broadcast on March 12, and again on March 13, adding to the actor’s “psychological pressure.”
Gold Medalist released an “urgent statement to reveal the truth on major issues.”
Details of Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron’s Relationship
Gold Medalist confirmed that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron dated between the summer of 2019 and the fall of 2020, after she became an adult. The agency clarified that they did not date when she was a minor.
The agency addressed photos shared by Kim Sae Ron and Garo Sero Institute. They stated that these were “private images taken by the two in the winter of 2020 when they were dating.” Gold Medalist clarified that “Winter 2020” meant between January and March 2020. The clothes Kim Sae Ron wore in the photos were released in June 2019, making Garo Sero Institute’s claim that the photos were from 2016 “impossible.”
Gold Medalist addressed other photos shared by Garo Sero Institute, stating that they were taken on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2019, and another photo taken on the same day. The agency asserted that “All of the photos being shared by Garo Sero Institute with the claim that Kim Soo Hyun dated Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor were taken after she became an adult.”
The agency also addressed a letter Kim Soo Hyun sent to Kim Sae Ron while in the military. They stated that it was one of many letters he sent to close friends, and the phrase “I miss you” was a “light-hearted expression used by soldiers to their close friends.” Gold Medalist refuted Garo Sero Institute’s claim that the letter was a love letter.
Gold Medalist criticized the “plethora of false claims and misinformation” spreading due to Garo Sero Institute’s report. They also addressed the informant on the broadcast, stating that she was an “acquaintance of Kim Sae Ron’s mother,” not her aunt.
Gold Medalist expressed that the “extremely personal private lives of two people are being forcibly revealed by others” and that “both Kim Soo Hyun and the deceased [Kim Sae Ron] are having their private lives discussed alongside numerous rumors and speculative reports, is extremely painful for Kim Soo Hyun and those around both him and Kim Sae Ron.”
Gold Medalist said, “But the past when two consenting adults dated and broke up are being distorted by others and countless lies are still being spread. It is incredibly painful for one person to endure all of this due to their private life. Also, digging into the private life of the deceased is an act of defaming their honor.”
