Kim Sae-ron's Photo and Kim Soo-hyun's Alleged Nickname Fuel Underage Dating Claims



The picture posted by the late Kim Sae-ron at 16 has the nickname Kim Soo-hyun gave it to him. "They dated from the age of 15." adds strength to the bereaved family's claim.

Recently, Kim Sae-ron's past photos posted on tweets are drawing attention, while Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron are insisting on underage dating, citing interviews with bereaved families on YouTube channel 'Horosero Research Institute' (hereinafter 'Gahseyeon').

Wearing a young Sarah Cara top, Kim Sae-ron posted a photo on his SNS, posing on a bridge against the backdrop of the evening sunset.




The title of the picture is 'Saronero'. Below, the date of the photo was taken, May 21, 2016, at 04:34 AM.

It was taken when Kim Sae-ron, who was born in 2000, was 16 years old.

According to the bereaved family's claim, 「Saeronero」 is the nickname Kim Soo-hyun gave to Kim Sae-ron. At the same time, Kim Sae-ron revealed the letter and postcard he received from Kim Soo-hyun.




The letter and postcard contain what Kim Sae-ron wrote by affectionately calling him Saerone. In a letter written by Kim Soo-hyun, referring to himself as Kim Il-byeong, he wrote "It's a good day to think of him as a new man." I wrote it on June 9, 2018. Netizens argued that the timeline matches, saying, `Kim Soo-hyun joined the military in October 2017 and became Kim Il-byeong in June 2018 when he sent the letter.'

Later, a postcard written on November 1, 2019, told of his recent situation in Paris. The corresponding letter reads "Saronero, I drank in Paris, I bought a postcard from a souvenir shop. I love you, Saeronero. A very proud and proud Saeronero. I'll always be sorry."

Aunt Kim Sae-ron said in an interview with Ga Se-yeon, `Now shouldn't Kim Soo-hyun say sorry and admit it. How much longer do we have to open to admit it?" He said "Saeron told (Kim Soo-hyun) "Don't play with children". Then what would Kim Soo-hyun have said. 'I really care about you. Something like that to a child. Later, there was talk of marriage. When Saeron was in her early 20s..."

Meanwhile, 'Ga Se-yeon' quoted the bereaved family's words on the 10th and claimed that Kim Soo-hyun had dated Kim for six years since November 2015, when Kim Sae-ron was a minor. Then, Kim Soo-hyun's agency, the Gold Medalist, hinted at a strong legal response, saying, `We will consider the strongest level of legal response to indefinite false information.' However, even afterwards, 'Gah Se-yeon' released new photos of Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron's physical touch and text messages asking for Kim Sae-ron's 700 million lawsuit during his lifetime, but Kim Soo-hyun denied all the allegations, saying, `The official position I told you earlier remains unchanged.'

However, the advertising industry, which is most sensitive to Kim Soo-hyun's rumors of underage dating, is beginning to quit. The contract is not renewed or a new contract is being canceled. Some of the brands that are out of contract are taking down pictures. Kim Soo-hyun's domestic and foreign fandom has also been shut down or turned away. In particular, criticism from overseas fans who are sensitive to the issue of minors is growing.
