Clarification on Jo Se-ho’s Social Media Activity with Kim Soo-hyun
On March 12, 2025, South Korea’s Star News and an industry insider provided clarification regarding comedian Jo Se-ho‘s social media interactions with actor Kim Soo-hyun. Despite their recent joint appearance on the MBC Entertainment program Good Day, it was revealed that Jo Se-ho had never followed Kim Soo-hyun on Instagram. This revelation dispels rumors surrounding their online communication.
The insider elaborated on their relationship, stating:
“Jo Se-ho and Kim Soo-hyun are not particularly close. Jo Se-ho never followed Kim Soo-hyun in the first place, so the claim that he unfollowed him is not true.”
This clarification came in the wake of reports from multiple South Korean media outlets suggesting that Jo Se-ho had, in fact, followed Kim Soo-hyun on Instagram. The situation escalated further following alarming disclosures by the Gerosero Institute during a live stream on March 10, 2025. They claimed that Kim Soo-hyun was involved in a controversial relationship with actress Kim Sae-ron for six years, beginning when she was a minor.
Controversial Claims Surrounding Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron
The Gerosero Institute shared a photograph purportedly showing the two together, alongside allegations from a bereaved family, asserting that their relationship initiated when Kim Soo-hyun was 27 and Kim Sae-ron just 15. This revelation has provoked significant public backlash, with many netizens theorizing that Jo Se-ho chose to distance himself from Kim Soo-hyun amid this controversy.
Kim Soo-hyun to Address Relationship Allegations
In a related development on March 13, 2025, Sports Seoul reported that Kim Soo-hyun plans to publicly address his allegedly controversial dating history with the late actress Kim Sae-ron. Multiple sources confirmed that he is preparing to share his perspective on the accusations linked to their relationship.
Details about how and when this announcement will be made are still under consideration. Additionally, Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has been proactive in responding to the allegations brought forth by the Gerosero Institute. In a strong denial, they remarked:
“The late actress Kim Sae-ron claimed that she dated actor Kim Soo-hyun since she was 15, that our agency’s response was unfair at the time of her drunk driving accident, and that our agency’s manager was close with YouTuber A. These are all false claims.”
Notably, the It’s Okay to Not Be Okay star’s absence from the ongoing filming of MBC’s Good Day has also been noted, adding to the speculation regarding his current standing in the industry.
