2017 Interview Raises Eyebrows
In a 2017 interview with THE FACT, then 17-year-old Kim Sae Ron said she wanted to do a romantic comedy with Kim Soo Hyun. “Ever since I was little, I’ve mentioned actor Kim Soo Hyun whenever people asked me which actor I’d like to work with. He’s twelve years older than me. But he looks so young, doesn’t he? (Laughs).”
She made a very similar statement to Ilgan Sports, stating “I’m not sure about a rom-com, but ever since I was young, I’ve always picked actor Kim Soo Hyun as someone I wanted to work with. I think it would be fun if we got to work on a project together. He is twelve years older than me, but he lives such a ‘young’ life. Haha.”
According to her aunt, Kim Sae Ron was already two years into her relationship with Kim Soo Hyun at that time.
Netizens React to Resurfaced Comments
These comments, now viewed in the context of the aunt’s allegations, have prompted some people to question the nature of Kim Sae Ron’s relationship with Kim Soo Hyun. Online, many expressed concerns. Here are examples of how netizens reacted:
“Oh, no…”
“Was she really groomed and gaslighted by him?”
“Seeing how a 17-year-old kept repeating the same phrases like ‘looks young’ or ‘young life’ like a parrot… I feel like she might have been groomed and it’s unsettling.”
“No 17-year-old would say a 12-year gap would be OK because the guy ‘looks young.’ Only ahjussis would say things like that. She was obviously gaslighted into thinking this way, fck. To a literal child?” “How come no one stepped into stop such a baby from dating an ahjussi, though? Why didn’t anyone intervene?” “Ew.” “Young, my as.”
The YouTube channel that shared the interview with Kim Sae Ron’s aunt stated that they will report Kim Soo Hyun for having a sexual relationship with a minor.
