Information released by the YouTube channel “ Garosero Research Institute ” regarding famous Korean star Kim Soo Hyun and late actress Kim Sae Ron is the focus of public opinion.

Garosero reported that Kim Soo Hyun dated Kim Sae Ron for 6 years, starting when she was 15 years old. Garosero confirmed that they had confirmed this with Kim Sae Ron’s family. The late actress’s relatives also directly participated in an interview with Garosero without hiding their voices.

According to JTBC News, as soon as the news broke, the public demanded a clearer explanation from Kim Soo Hyun. They quite believed the words of the deceased’s family, but Garosero channel was previously classified as unreliable because it released many unfounded news about celebrities.

Above all, the information that “Kim Sae Ron dated Kim Soo Hyun when she was a minor” became the biggest controversial topic.

In China in particular, news related to this issue dominated the trending charts of Weibo and Chinese portal sites. The general reaction of netizens was “shocked” and “unbelievable”.

The actor’s past photos and statements are constantly being dug up.

According to Sports Kyunghyang, at the press conference for the movie “Secretly Greatly” in 2013, when asked at what age he wanted to get married, Kim Soo Hyun replied: “I wonder what it would be like to marry a 21-year-old girl when I’m 41 years old.”

Host Kim Tae Jin then added, “Kindergarten children across the country will be delighted to hear this story.”

During an interview for the 2012 film “Moon Embracing the Sun,” Kim Soo Hyun told Kim Yoo Jung, then 13 years old, that he wanted to act in a film with the actress when she grew up.

In addition, a statement by Kim Soo Hyun towards the late singer and actress Sulli also received backlash.

In 2017, during the promotion of the movie “Real”, a reporter asked Sulli a question. Before she could answer, Kim Soo Hyun suddenly interrupted: “Let’s talk normally”, implying that Sulli should speak carefully and behave normally in front of the media, causing Sulli’s expression to become unnatural.

At that time, Sulli was facing a wave of criticism for some unusual behavior. When filming “Real”, Sulli’s character had a revealing scene, causing her to be criticized even more heavily. The audience speculated that Kim Soo Hyun said that to create a promotional trick for the movie, but it could also make the scandal related to Sulli more serious.

According to Sportsworldi, although Gold Medalist denied the information from Garosero, the public was still shocked when the phone interview with Kim Sae Ron’s family was made public.

Kim Soo Hyun is a top Korean star with many hit works. Recently, he appeared on G-Dragon’s entertainment program “Good Day” and showed his more outgoing side than usual, which was loved by many viewers.

His next work is the Disney+ original series “Knock off,” which will be released this year, co-starring Jo Bo Ah.
