On March 17, 2025, Sports Trends unveiled significant revelations concerning the late actress Kim Sae-ron’s relationship with actor Kim Soo-hyun. At a press conference organized at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, family representatives, including Kwon Young-chan from the Korea Celebrity Suicide Prevention Association, presented compelling evidence in the form of a diary that Kim Sae-ron had maintained throughout her life.
YouTuber Kim Se-ui from Garosero brought attention to the diary, indicating that it meticulously detailed her romantic history with Kim Soo-hyun, including specific dates. A notable entry from November 2015 allegedly marks the beginning of their relationship. Kim Se-ui remarked,
“Kim Sae-ron must have been so kind that she even wrote the exact date. It says that they dated for 6 years starting from the exact date, either November 19, 2015 or November 9. I think it’s very unfair to contact her now that she’s been cornered and hasn’t said anything about it.”
Kwon Young-chan disclosed that he had been approached by seven family members seeking assistance regarding Kim Sae-ron’s death and her alleged relationship with Kim Soo-hyun. He emphasized that the diary entries contain explicit sequences of events tied to the origins of their relationship. Kwon also mentioned his hesitation to report these findings to the police, given his professional background.
The press conference did not shy away from discussing the backlash faced by Kim Sae-ron after she shared a photo of herself with Kim Soo-hyun, which she later deleted. This action drew scrutiny from several YouTubers, including Lee Jin-ho, prompting Kim Sae-ron to prepare a more comprehensive account of their relationship, though she opted to share this only with family through private messages rather than publishing it publicly.
Kim Se-ui underscored that Kim Sae-ron’s penchant for detailed record-keeping renders her diary a valuable asset in validating her claims. The family firmly believes that the documented entries illustrate a connection with the actor since her adolescence.
Continuing Developments in the Kim Sae-ron Controversy Involving Kim Soo-hyun
The narrative surrounding Kim Soo-hyun has escalated following the Garosero Research Institute’s release of additional photographs and letters purportedly exchanged between him and Kim Sae-ron during his military service. These artifacts, which include images of the couple together and warm letters, have further ignited speculation regarding the authenticity and duration of their relationship.
Despite these allegations, Kim Soo-hyun’s agency has categorically disputed claims asserting that their romance began while Kim Sae-ron was underage. They maintain that their involvement occurred solely during the years 2019 and 2020. In stark contrast, the Garosero Research Institute stands firm on the assertion that their relationship spanned six years, conflicting with the agency’s official statements.
In light of these controversies, Kim Sae-ron’s family is demanding a formal apology from Kim Soo-hyun and his agency. They allege that their silence and subsequent legal measures exacerbated her emotional turmoil. Furthermore, they reveal that when Kim Sae-ron shared a nostalgic photo of them amidst the success of his drama “Queen of Tears,”she encountered threats of legal repercussion for allegedly tarnishing the show’s reputation.
As accusations continue to emerge and new evidence is brought to light, public interest remains heightened regarding the forthcoming responses from Kim Soo-hyun and his agency.
