The incident involving the relationship between two Korean actors Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun has attracted public attention, especially after Kim Sae Ron’s mother spoke out to refute and provide evidence of the relationship between her daughter and Kim Soo Hyun.
According to information from the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute, intimate photos between Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun were released, showing a close relationship between the two since 2016, when Kim Sae Ron was only 16 years old. Kim Sae Ron’s mother said the reason for releasing this information was to restore her daughter’s honor, hoping that she would be remembered as a talented actress, recognized and respected.
In response to this information, Kim Soo Hyun’s side admitted that they had dated Kim Sae Ron, but affirmed that this relationship took place from summer 2019 to fall 2020, when she was an adult. Kim Soo Hyun’s representative denied the information that he dated Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor, and accused the Garo Sero Institute of distorting the truth.
Kim Soo Hyun’s side also said that after Kim Sae Ron was involved in a drunk driving scandal, she had to pay a total contract penalty of more than 1.1 billion won. The management company worked with her to resolve the matter, reducing the compensation to about 700 million won. However, due to her inability to pay, Kim Sae Ron texted Kim Soo Hyun for “help”, but he did not have the authority to settle this debt.
This incident caused a lot of controversy in public opinion, especially after Kim Sae Ron passed away on February 16, which coincided with Kim Soo Hyun’s birthday. This coincidence surprised the public and rekindled the “fated” relationship between the two actors.
Currently, public opinion is still following the next developments of the incident, and is questioning whether Kim Soo Hyun will take any legal action to protect himself. Many people also hope that this story will be closed soon to avoid further hurting those involved.
