Allegations Surrounding Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron: A Deep Dive
Recent allegations involving renowned actor Kim Soo-hyun have sparked significant controversy, originating from claims made by the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute. The channel has alleged that Kim Soo-hyun was romantically involved with the late actress Kim Sae-ron while she was still underage, beginning March 10, 2025.
In response to the escalating situation, Kim Soo-hyun’s management agency, GOLD MEDALIST, issued a public statement through Sports Donga on March 13, 2025. They announced their intentions to clear the air next week with concrete evidence, aiming to address what they described as “groundless rumors.”The agency also expressed regret for any distress caused during this prolonged ordeal, requesting patience from the public as they navigate the situation.
“We will reveal our position next week based on clear evidence in order to set the facts straight and respond to groundless rumors. We apologize for tiring you out for so long. We ask for your understanding as we will refrain from continued reporting.”
Public Reaction and Backlash
The allegations have led to a wave of backlash from netizens, with many already considering the accusations against Kim Soo-hyun as fact based on the information presented by Garosero Research Institute. The fervent discourse on social media platforms, particularly X, has seen fans questioning the integrity of the agency and the actor’s responses.
“A made up one you mean?”- a fan said.
“This man is orchestrating a distraction to shift public attention away from himself, hence the delay. With the media in his grip, controversies involving other big names may emerge or resurface. No matter what comes out, let’s not forget what he did,”another fan added.
“They need time to convince KSR auntie to accept their money and take back the accusations and give them all the evidence they have,”stated another user.
Critics have suggested that the delay in GOLD MEDALIST’s response indicates potential deceit on Kim Soo-hyun’s part, claiming he may be attempting to fabricate evidence to counter the allegations.
“Saying none of it was true just a few days ago and that you’d sue people ridiculous! You know how easy it is to say it’s not true if it really isn’t… The fact that you guys are asking for time to ‘straighten the facts’ means you were lying a few days ago,”commented another fan.
“Of course, he needs time to fabricate evidence, pay bribes, threaten the victim’s family, and offer money to silence them, discredit the evidence presented, etc. This man is a vile manipulator and unfortunately has the power to buy his way out of this sordid saga,”another user chimed in.
Details on Kim Sae-ron’s Circumstances and Financial Disputes
Adding to the complexity of the situation, Dispatch released a report highlighting additional details regarding Kim Sae-ron’s past challenges, including a drunk driving incident in 2022 for which GOLD MEDALIST covered the damages. In 2024, it was reported that Kim Sae-ron received a certified letter from her agency demanding repayment of a loan taken out in late 2022, with a deadline of December 31, 2023.
“We decided not to take the money considering Kim Sae-ron’s circumstances,” the agency stated.
However, Dispatch characterized this remark as vague and biased. Moreover, Garosero Research Institute claimed to possess text messages showing Kim Sae-ron pleading for assistance from Kim Soo-hyun regarding her financial obligations. These interactions reportedly included her expressing fear of legal consequences stemming from the loan, alongside allegations that Kim Soo-hyun ignored her pleas for help.
As the public eagerly awaits further updates, GOLD MEDALIST has confirmed they will present evidence to debunk the rumors put forth by Garosero Research Institute in the coming week, promising a comprehensive defense against the claims.
