Kim Soo-hyun Fights Back Against Shocking Relationship Allegations with Late Actress Kim Sae-ron
SEOUL, March 10 (Yonhap) – Beloved actor Kim Soo-hyun has fiercely denied distressing allegations made by a YouTube channel that claimed he had been in a long-term romantic relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron.
The accusations, which surfaced on YouTube channel Hoverlab, suggested that the two had been together for six years, beginning when Kim Sae-ron was only 15 years old. The shocking claims quickly spread, sending waves through the entertainment industry and social media.
However, Kim’s agency, Gold Medalist, wasted no time in shutting down the rumors. In a firm statement, they denounced the allegations as entirely baseless and vowed to take strong legal action.
“The claims about Kim Soo-hyun made in the broadcast are completely false,” the agency stated. “We are currently reviewing the strongest possible legal measures to address this serious defamation.”
Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron were previously under the same management company, Gold Medalist, but there has been no evidence to support the claims that they shared a romantic relationship.
The rumors have only deepened the tragedy surrounding Kim Sae-ron, whose promising career had already been marred by struggles in recent years. The young actress, known for her breathtaking performances in The Man from Nowhere and The Neighbors, was found lifeless in her home last month at the age of just 24. Her passing left fans and fellow actors heartbroken, mourning the loss of a bright talent gone too soon.
Her downfall began with a devastating DUI incident in May 2022, when she crashed into a roadside electrical transformer in southern Seoul while under the influence. The accident led to immense public backlash and career repercussions, casting a long shadow over her once-rising stardom.
In the wake of her tragic passing, many have called for sensitivity and respect in handling discussions about her life and struggles. Meanwhile, Kim Soo-hyun remains steadfast in his determination to protect his name from what he calls baseless and damaging accusations. His agency’s strong stance signals that legal action may soon follow as he fights to clear his reputation.
With emotions running high, fans of both actors continue to grapple with the weight of loss and controversy, hoping for truth and fairness to prevail in this painful chapter of their lives.
