On the evening of March 11, a series of large and small Asian newspapers simultaneously reported that Kim Soo Hyun was suspected of dating Kim Sae Ron . A person claiming to be Kim Sae Ron’s aunt confirmed that the former child star and Kim Soo Hyun dated for 6 years (2015-2021) on the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute – a channel of a group of former reporters and lawyers, specializing in reporting on stars and “secrets” in the Korean entertainment industry.

By the morning of March 11, Koreaboo had dug up two interviews of Kim Sae Ron with the Korean media in 2017 – this was also the time when the late artist was rumored to be in a relationship with Kim Soo Hyun. Through two meetings with Korean reporters at that time, the actress Kim expressed her desire to collaborate in a film with Kim Soo Hyun.

Kim Sae Ron continuously expressed her desire to act in a movie with Kim Soo Hyun around the time the two stars were rumored to be dating.

In an interview with The Fact in 2017, Kim Sae Ron said she wanted to act with her rumored boyfriend Kim Soo Hyun: “I still want to continue playing dark roles. But of course, I also want to try more normal roles. I want to act in a natural, everyday style. And I want to appear in friendship films, or even romantic comedies. Ever since I was little, whenever someone asked me which actor I wanted to work with, I always mentioned Kim Soo Hyun. He’s 12 years older than me. But doesn’t he still look incredibly young?”

During an interview with Ilgan Sports reporters that same year, Kim Sae Ron once again expressed her desire to work with Kim Soo Hyun: “I haven’t really thought about working with a specific actor yet. I’m also not sure about appearing in a romantic comedy. But ever since I was little, I’ve always chosen senior Kim Soo Hyun as the actor I want to act with. I think it would be fun if he and I could work together in a project. He’s 12 years older than me, but he always looks so young.”

The relationship between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron has been a hot topic for the past year. Last March, Kim Sae Ron suddenly posted a photo of herself cheek to cheek with Kim Soo Hyun on her personal page. The former child star deleted the photo just minutes after posting it, but the photo quickly spread, fueling rumors of a love affair between the two Kim artists. Immediately after that, the Queen Of Tears actor quickly denied the dating rumors, and the incident gradually died down.

Kim Soo Hyun – Kim Sae Ron’s intimate photos caused a stir in the public last year.

As of last night (March 11), the relationship between the two artists continued to cause discussion after a character claiming to be Kim Sae Ron’s aunt confirmed that the actress had dated Kim Soo Hyun. The actress’s aunt said that the intimate photo of Kim Sae Ron – Kim Soo Hyun was taken in 2016. The love relationship of the two artists began on November 19, 2015 and ended on July 7, 2021. In addition, Kim Sae Ron’s aunt also revealed the “deep palace secrets” at the Gold Medalist company founded by Kim Soo Hyun. According to Kim Sae Ron’s aunt, the actress joined Gold Medalist and participated in directing and instructing acting for new artists without receiving any remuneration. In 2022, Kim Sae Ron caused a drunk driving scandal and had to pay compensation for film and advertising contracts. Kim Soo Hyun lent Kim Sae Ron 700 million won (12.3 billion VND) to settle compensation and did not ask for immediate repayment.

By 2024, the actress received a debt certificate of 700 million won (12.3 billion VND). Kim Sae Ron burst into tears because she had used up all the money to pay compensation and had nothing left. Kim Sae Ron said that Kim Soo Hyun did not send this debt certificate, but the sender was Lee Sarang – Kim Soo Hyun’s cousin and co-founder of Gold Medalist. Therefore, the late actress called Kim Soo Hyun to ask about the debt certificate, but he did not answer the phone. Finally, Kim Sae Ron posted an intimate photo of her cheek-to-cheek with Kim Soo Hyun on Instagram because she thought that was the only way to get the actor to contact her again. However, Gold Medalist denied the dating rumors and said: “We do not understand what her intentions are.”

On the evening of March 11, Kim Soo Hyun’s side firmly denied the dating news with Kim Sae Ron, and affirmed that all the content recently posted on the Garo Sero Institute YouTube channel about the actor was untrue. After that, the YouTube channel challenged Kim Soo Hyun’s threat of lawsuit through a long post. Garo Sero Institute even made a shocking revelation: Kim Soo Hyun may be sued for having sex with a minor in the near future.

Although Kim Soo Hyun tried to deny it, the public still “half-believes” that the male star once dated Kim Sae Ron.
