[TV Report = Reporter Yoo Young-jae] Recently, the actor Kim Soo-hyun has been embroiled in a controversy regarding his relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron during her underage years, causing a considerable stir. Evidence suggesting that Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron dated in the past is now surfacing.
Today (17th), photos appeared online of Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron together in the past. In the photos, Kim Sae-ron is seen wearing a black long padding jacket in front of an elevator, while a person believed to be Kim Soo-hyun is seen in a red padding jacket holding something with their head tilted towards the elevator. Although it is difficult to conclusively identify the person, fans commented, “Just by looking at the ears and head shape, it seems to be Kim Soo-hyun,” “If you’re a Kim Soo-hyun fan, you would know immediately,” and “There might be more revelations about Kim Soo-hyun in the future. Se-ron used to go around with her mom without a manager at that time.”
The fact that these photos are also found on a fan account of Kim Sae-ron suggests that her fans might have been aware of their relationship.
Previously, Kim Soo-hyun faced allegations of dating the “12-year younger” Kim Sae-ron since 2015. At that time, Kim Sae-ron was a minor, which subjected Kim Soo-hyun to allegations of committing a grooming crime. Although he initially denied these rumors, continuous photo releases and worsening public opinion eventually led him to release a statement on the 14th, admitting that they dated when Kim Sae-ron was of legal age.
Kim Soo-hyun’s agency stated, “Kim Soo-hyun showed signs of severe psychological instability early this morning, and we have taken measures to ensure his absolute rest and stability.”
The family of the late Kim Sae-ron expressed their anger towards actor Kim Soo-hyun and creator Lee Jin-ho, demanding an apology.
