Reports have surfaced suggesting that Kim Soo Hyun and the late Kim Sae Ron maintained a six-year relationship, despite their age difference. These claims, which allege the relationship was an ‘open secret’, have ignited widespread discussion.
Alleged Relationship Details
Sources, as reported by Dispatch, claim Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun had a romantic relationship that began when she was 15 and he was 27. These sources say that their connection was known within certain circles, but it was never publicly acknowledged because of Kim Sae Ron’s age.
An acquaintance stated,
“Kim Sae Ron’s age was an issue, so they could never admit to their relationship,” adding that their meetings were “an open secret.”
It is important to acknowledge that these reports lack official confirmation. Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Goldmedalist, denied any romantic involvement between the two, specifically when Kim Sae Ron was a minor.
Evidence and Speculation
Despite the agency’s denial, evidence has emerged that fuels speculation about their relationship. Kim Sae Ron once posted a selfie with Kim Soo Hyun, which she quickly deleted. However, screenshots of the image continue to circulate online. Additionally, a photo showing Kim Soo Hyun kissing Kim Sae Ron on the cheek has resurfaced, further adding to the speculation.
South Korean media also reported that Kim Sae Ron’s parents kept over 200 photos of her with Kim Soo Hyun from around 2015, during the time the alleged relationship took place. These reports remain unconfirmed.
Kim Sae Ron’s Passing
Kim Sae Ron passed away on 16 February 2025. Her passing has triggered conversations about her relationship with Kim Soo Hyun. The true nature of their connection continues to be a subject of speculation.
