A new report claims that the late actress Kim Sae Ron had plans to reveal her past relationship with Kim Soo Hyun. This news comes after a selfie she shared in March 2024. The allegations, made by a woman claiming to be Kim Sae Ron’s aunt, have sparked intense online discussions. The core of the issue involves their alleged six-year relationship, which reportedly began when Kim Sae Ron was 15 and Kim Soo Hyun was 27.
Allegations and Claims
On March 10, a woman, said to be Kim Sae Ron’s aunt, spoke on the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute. This channel, known for exposing entertainment scandals, is run by former journalists and legal professionals. The woman claimed that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron had a romantic relationship from November 19, 2015, to July 7, 2021. She also claimed Kim Sae Ron helped Kim Soo Hyun’s career, even assisting in the start of his agency, Gold Medalist, without pay.

A key part of the claim involves a photo Kim Sae Ron posted on March 23, 2024. The photo showed an intimate moment with Kim Soo Hyun, reportedly taken in 2016 when she was a minor. After Kim Soo Hyun denied dating rumors, the alleged aunt said Kim Sae Ron wrote a long statement about their six-year relationship. However, she chose not to publish it.
Online Reactions and Debates
The resurfaced allegations have caused heated online discussions. International fans revisited Kim Sae Ron’s sudden change in appearance and style in late 2015. Many pointed out that her fashion and makeup changed drastically around the time she allegedly started dating Kim Soo Hyun. This led to speculation that the relationship affected her identity at a young age.

Some netizens suggested the alleged relationship showed signs of grooming, given the 12-year age gap. This raised questions about whether an older celebrity should be involved with a minor.
Korean netizens also expressed shock, as Kim Sae Ron’s image change had been a topic of discussion years ago. Many are now re-examining past speculations.
not that it makes it any different but it’s the fact that sae ron looked like 13 when she was 15 it’s not even like she looked mature or like an adult she was genuinely so childish looking EWWWWW PAIN TO KIM SOO HYUN FOREVER AND EVER
The alleged aunt also accused Gold Medalist, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, of cutting off contact with Kim Sae Ron, sending legal threats, and ending her contract unfairly. She claimed the agency’s actions contributed to her later difficulties.
Kim Soo Hyun’s representatives denied all allegations, calling them false. Gold Medalist stated they would take legal action against the YouTube channel and those spreading misinformation.
Kim Soo Hyun’s future steps are uncertain. While his agency plans legal action, the controversy has affected his reputation. Garosero Research Institute claims they have more information to reveal.
