Kim Soo-hyun's Agency Clarifies Dating Timeline Amid Controversy



Actor Kim Soo-hyun expressed his position on the suspicion of having a minor relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron.

First, on the 14th, Kim Soo-hyun's agency, the Gold Medalist, issued an official statement and explained related issues raised by the YouTube channel Horizontal Sero Research Institute.

The gold medalists claimed that Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron dated after becoming adults, saying, "Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron dated from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020, after Kim Sae-ron became an adult. It is not true that Kim Soo-hyun dated Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor."




The agency then argued that the photo taken in 2016 could not exist, saying, "The photo released by Kim Saeron on Instagram Story early in the morning of March 24, 2024, and the photo released on the broadcast of the Horizontal Institute on March 11, 2025 are all private images of the two people who were dating on the same day of winter in 2020."

However, despite the agency's position, the public could not easily raise doubts.

The agency said the two dated from fall 2019 to fall 2020. However, he said the friendly photo of the two was taken in the winter of the same year. In response, netizens pointed out that it is a clear error that two people who broke up in the fall took pictures in the winter.




In this regard, the gold medalists "In the statement, winter 2020 means early 2020 (January-March). I'm sorry for the confusion," he said.

Meanwhile, the YouTube channel 'Garosero Research Institute' (hereinafter 'Garoseyeon') borrowed the words of Kim Sae-ron's bereaved family on the 10th and claimed that Kim has been dating Kim Soo-hyun for six years since he was 15. When Kim Soo-hyun founded the agency's gold medalist in 2019, Kim Sa-ron, her lover, helped her by teaching her actors. However, when Kim Sae-ron's apology for drunk driving erupted in 2022, the gold medalists in 2024 claimed that they sent Kim Sae-ron proof of content, asking him to pay back 700 million won.

Kim Soo-hyun, who refuted the accusation by saying it was false, said on the 13th that he will make a statement next week based on clear grounds to correct the facts and respond to unfounded rumors.
