Kim Soo-hyun's agency gold medalist said on the 14th that Kim Soo-hyun had dated Kim Sae-ron, who was late, from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020. Then, based on verifiable grounds that could refute the content of "'Gahseyeon', we informed the distribution of the statement within the next week, but Kim Soo-hyun showed a sharp psychological instability early this morning, and we took measures to ensure that Kim Soo-hyun was absolutely stable. Kim Soo-hyun was suffering from extreme confusion due to claims that he was responsible for the sudden death of the deceased. On the night of the broadcast on the 12th, the car carrying a camera across the company's main gate and in the parking lot was guarding until dawn, and the psychological pressure on Kim Soo-hyun continues, with people with cameras reuniting around the building around lunch on the 13th."
"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. Kim Sae-ron's photo released 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."

Kim Soo-hyun also said, `I think the public's view and criticism of a series of events concerning Kim Soo-hyun should be taken for granted. However, Kim cannot unconditionally accept numerous false facts and personal attacks just because she is a celebrity. The reaction that will follow Kim Soo-hyun's personal life, which has been released so far or may be released in the future, will have to endure. But I would like to ask if that should even be accepted as public without consent to the affairs of two adult persons in the extremely private realm, and whether they should go through all these things with their open private lives without consent," he added.
Kim Sae-ron's bereaved family is claiming to have been in a relationship with Kim Soo-hyun since 2016 when Kim Sae-ron was 15 years old through the YouTube channel 「Garosero Research Institute」 (Gae Se-yeon) from the 10th. Initially, Kim Soo-hyun immediately refuted and said "Founded", but 'Gah Se-yeon' released a handwritten letter and a physical photo that Kim Soo-hyun sent to Kim Sae-ron while serving in the military through a follow-up video. 'Ga Se-yeon' also claimed that the gold medalist demanded a penalty for Kim Sae-ron, who caused a drunk driving accident.
Kim Soo-hyun's agency gold medalist said on the 12th that `the official position mentioned earlier remains unchanged.' Kim Soo-hyun's side said on the 10th that `Gah Se-yeon's claims regarding Kim Soo-hyun through YouTube broadcasts are clearly false. The strongest level of legal action will be reviewed for the tax year. He feels heartbroken at the news of the death of Kim Sae-ron, who was once in the company, and mourns the deceased. However, the above dissemination of false information by Gase-yeon points out that it follows the behavior of the so-called Cyber Reckka, which the deceased struggled so much during his lifetime. We earnestly ask that false information not be spread, expanded, or reproduced any more" had previously made the position.
In addition, Kim Soo-hyun's side revealed that allegations of financial pressure on Kim Sae-ron were groundless, saying, `As a result of Ga Se-yeon's broadcast, Kim Soo-hyun became a demon who killed Kim Sae-ron. The gold medalist urged the deceased to pay debt due to the drunk driving accident, and Kim Sae-ron asked for help, but Kim Soo-hyun turned a blind eye, according to Se-yeon. As a result, speculation followed that Kim Sae-ron had no choice but to make an extreme choice, but this is not true. At the time, the gold medallist reimbursed the entire remaining debt that Kim Saeron could not afford."

In addition, despite his great efforts, however, Kim Saeron had difficulty in his activities and was in a situation where it was difficult to pay back the remaining amount in reality. Accordingly, the company decided that Kim Sae-ron was no longer capable of paying off the debt, so the debt was compensated for by the company in December 2023. According to the audit report dated April 1, 2024, it can be confirmed that the entire bond against Mr. Saeron Kim has been dealt with bad debts.'
The proof of content sent at the time is only a necessary legal process between the gold medalist and Kim Sae-ron. If a gold medalist arbitrarily pays a penalty to be borne by Kim Sae-ron, there was a possibility that the company executives could be guilty of breach of duty. The Gold Medalist explained that "If no procedures and evidence are taken for the amount lent to Mr. Sae-on Kim without interest and collateral, the Company's executives may have given an illegal interest to a particular person.' The Gold Medalist sent a Proof of Contents to prove that Saeron Kim was in a state of `irreparable' without the ability to pay off his debt, and that the Company had to send a Proof of Contents to prove that it had not voluntarily waived its bonds against Saeron Kim in order to proceed with the process of covering the bad debts against him", he explained.
There were also practical concerns that the gold medalist might have to pay gift tax equivalent to the profits Mr. Saeron earns from debt relief. The text sent by Mr. Sae-ron Kim to Mr. Kim Soo-hyun on March 19, 2024 regarding his debt with the Company was written against this background. We had to go through a process to cover Kim Sae-ron's debt through proof of contents", he explained.
The debt was between Kim Sae-ron and the gold medalist, and it was also speculated that Kim Soo-hyun personally tried to lend or get money back, saying, `Kim Soo-hyun was not in that position.'In addition, "Kim Sae-ron texted Kim Soo-hyun, not the creditor, because he did not have sufficient legal knowledge of the debt, but Kim Soo-hyun was not aware of the situation. At that time, it had been four years since the two separated. Kim Soo-hyun inquired about this to the company and the company said, `It seems inappropriate to answer these questions without confirmation from experts because the other party seems to have misunderstood while legal knowledge is not accurate. The company contacted Kim Sae-ron's agency with a legal expert and said it would resolve the issue smoothly so that there was no misunderstanding" he said.
Since then, the gold medalist has not demanded direct debt repayment from Kim Sae-ron. The agency has stated through its legal representative that on March 26, 2024, Mr. Kim Sae-ron 'In addition to thanking you for your sincerity toward your client, of course, for the damages you have suffered, we intend to coordinate through consultation with you on the future reimbursement plan along with the determination of the amount of damages that I shall bear. As a result, the bond-debt relationship between the gold medalist and Mr. Kim Sae-ron has ended and the Company has not requested any reimbursement since the entire bond against Mr. Kim was treated as bad debt" he said.
"From Kim Sae-ron's point of view, it can be understood that he is completely free from the debt to the gold medalist. It is an unconvincing argument to link the cause of death a year later with this, and it is an overly malicious speculation," he said. "In order to understand the difficult situation of Kim Sae-ron, who was an actor, and to prevent gift tax from being imposed without being reimbursed, he took care of it as carefully as possible under the law. In the process of paying Kim's penalty instead, the interest was set at 0% while handling the loan, and the delayed damage was also set at 0%, However, he said, "I am just heartbroken that he distorted it as if he pressured repayment and criticized it as if it were the cause of the deceased's extreme choice a year later."
