SPOILER ALERT: This article discusses sensitive topics, including a DUI incident and unconfirmed relationship rumors.
A new wave of speculation has swept through online communities about the late Kim Sae Ron and her rumored relationship with a mysterious “singer A.” Many netizens are pointing to solo artist WOODZ (Jo Seung Youn) as the possible ex-boyfriend, based on claims made by YouTuber Lee Jin Ho. The rumors center around a coffee cart and a timeline that has left fans piecing together clues.
What Started the Rumors?
On April 10, Lee Jin Ho released a video titled “A Coffee Truck Sent to Her Singer Ex-Boyfriend… The Real Timeline of Their Relationship?” He claimed Kim Sae Ron was in a relationship with a singer, referred to as “A,” from early 2021 to May 2022. This timeline, he said, overlapped with earlier rumors linking her to actor Kim Soo Hyun, which he now says didn’t happen until later.
“Kim Sae Ron began dating a singer – temporarily referred to as A – after ending her relationship with Kim Soo Hyun around the fall of 2020,” Lee Jin Ho said.
The YouTuber shared an image of a coffee cart sent to the set of a music video for “singer A.” At the time, the sender’s identity was unknown. Netizens quickly dug into the clue and found a similar coffee cart sent to WOODZ during one of his music video shoots.
The coffee cart connection raised eyebrows, but no solid proof confirms Kim Sae Ron sent it or that she dated WOODZ. The speculation grew louder because the coffee cart company has ties to Gold Medalist, Kim Sae Ron’s former agency. The same company sent carts to her drama set for The Great Shaman Ga Doo Shim in 2021 and to Kim Soo Hyun’s Queen of Tears set later.
The DUI Incident and a Heartbreak Claim
Lee Jin Ho tied the rumors to Kim Sae Ron’s DUI incident on May 18, 2022, in Seoul’s Gangnam District. He suggested the actress was heartbroken after splitting with “singer A,” leading her to drink with a friend before the crash.
“The late actress was emotionally distressed due to her breakup with her singer A, leading to a night out drinking with a friend, which ended in the accident,” Lee Jin Ho claimed.
The crash damaged a transformer, guardrails, and trees, causing power outages for nearby businesses. Kim Sae Ron faced heavy backlash, a fine of 20 million won (about $14,000), and left her drama Trolley. Her agency, Gold Medalist, said they covered damages of around 700 million won ($481,000) to help her.
Netizens remain divided. Some believe the breakup story fits the timeline, while others call it unproven gossip. No direct evidence, like messages or photos, links Kim Sae Ron to WOODZ romantically.
WOODZ’s Current Status
WOODZ, known for hits like Love Me Harder and his work with groups like UNIQ and X1, is serving his mandatory military service. He enlisted as an active-duty soldier and is set to be discharged on July 21, 2025. Fans note he’s been out of the public eye, making it unlikely he’ll address the rumors soon.
The coffee cart clue also sparked debate because WOODZ posted about his fifth mini-album OO-LI on April 7, 2023, with a comeback on April 26. Some netizens checked his social media and found Kim Sae Ron follows his Instagram, but he doesn’t follow her back. This small detail fueled more chatter, though it’s far from proof of a relationship.
Netizens Weigh In
The speculation has lit up online forums and social media. Fans and skeptics alike are sharing their thoughts, with some defending WOODZ and others questioning Lee Jin Ho’s claims.
“The coffee cart thing is suspicious, but it’s not enough to say they dated.”
“Why drag WOODZ into this? He’s serving quietly in the military.”
“Kim Sae Ron had a tough time after the DUI. People should let her rest in peace.”
“Lee Jin Ho keeps stirring things up without hard proof. Show us texts or something real.”
The lack of concrete evidence keeps the rumors in murky territory. The coffee cart company’s link to Gold Medalist adds intrigue, but it could just be a coincidence. Kim Sae Ron’s struggles after her 2022 incident, including public criticism and leaving Gold Medalist in December 2022, make the story more complex.
Looking Ahead
The rumors about Kim Sae Ron and “singer A” highlight how quickly speculation can spread without clear facts. Her tragic passing on February 16, 2025, at age 24, ruled a suicide by police, has left fans mourning and searching for answers. Two of her films, Guitar Man (set for May 2025) and Urineun Maeil Maeil (September 2025), will release posthumously, keeping her legacy alive.
For now, the WOODZ connection remains unconfirmed. Fans hope for clarity but urge respect for all involved, especially given the sensitive nature of the story.
