Public opinion has shifted after a YouTube channel made bombshell revelations about Kim Soo Hyun’s alleged relationship with Kim Sae Ron.
New evidence such as their intimate photo, text messages, and interviews with the deceased family has put the spotlight on the “Queen of Tears” actor. While his agency has denied all the claims and hinted at legal action, public outrage continues to grow and netizens are calling for boycotts.
It was revealed that Kim Soo Hyun allegedly began dating Kim Sae Ron when she was in her third year of middle school. Since the shocking revelations, his Instagram account has been flooded with hate comments and people are holding him responsible for her untimely death.
His Instagram account is flooded with hateful comments, such as “justice for her”, “bro, she was underage”, “stay alive and celebrate your birthday every year with guilt”, “boycott Kim Soohyun”, “She was fifteen and you were pushing 30 have you no shame”, and many more. On the other hand, some fans are supporting him and waiting for him to personally address these serious allegations.
Netizens are enraged that he denied any connection with her when Kim Sae Ron shared an intimate photo with him. As a result, she was criticized ruthlessly for fueling a dating rumor in March 2024. At the time, his agency called the rumors “baseless” and stated that the picture was taken at the time when they were labelmates.
More recently, the YouTube channel ‘Garosero Research Institute’ released a shocking exposé. The channel revealed a 6-year romantic relationship between Kim Soo Hyun and the late Kim Sae Ron. According to the video, the relationship began in November 2015 when Kim Sae Ron was just 15 years old, and the claims were confirmed by the bereaved family.
They presented several pieces of evidence to support their claims. One key piece of evidence was a photograph showing Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron sharing a kiss on the cheek. Additionally, they shared text messages exchanged between the two during her lifetime. Conversations between the “Bloodhounds” actress and her cousin were also revealed, along with a statement from her mother.
People are turning against Kim Soo Hyun. Lists of the brands he promotes are being shared online, and many are calling for a boycott. It is unclear if Disney+ will proceed with the April premiere of his drama “Knock Off” after the recent controversy.
Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has responded to the new shocking allegations against the actor. They revealed to OSEN that they are discussing their next steps and will share an update soon.
The agency is in a tough spot, as taking legal action could lead to conflict with the late Kim Sae Ron’s family. Now, everyone is waiting to see if Kim Soo Hyun will personally address the allegations.
Kim Sae Ron was found dead in her apartment on February 16. The date of her passing coincided with Kim Soo Hyun’s birthday.
