Kim Sae Ron’s family accused Kim Soo Hyun of having a relationship with her since she was 15 years old.

A secret relationship lasting 6 years

According to the revelation from Kim Sae Ron’s alleged aunt to the Garosero Institute by former media reporter Kim Se Ui, Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron had a romantic relationship that lasted 6 years, from when she was 15 years old to 21 years old (2015-2021). This information raises many questions about the legality of the relationship between the actor and the much younger actress.

In 2019, when Kim Soo Hyun established his own company, he did not renew his contract with the old company but moved to a new company. During this time, Kim Sae Ron – his girlfriend at that time – helped with many tasks such as directing the image of new artists and other practical tasks without receiving any remuneration.

By the time of the car accident in 2022, the two had broken up, but Kim Soo Hyun and the company pledged to take full responsibility for compensation and asked Kim Sae Ron to let them handle it, even if she wanted to investigate the extent of the damage herself.

The 700 million won debt and financial tragedy

Kim Soo Hyun’s company paid 700 million won (about 12.4 billion VND) in compensation without mentioning asking for it back. Kim Sae Ron expressed her gratitude, saying that Kim Soo Hyun had taken care of everything, and thanked her aunt, calling her a wonderful person. Kim Sae Ron pledged to repay the money by working hard, and then her contract with the company expired.

However, in 2024, a sudden notice asked her to repay the 700 million won. Kim Sae Ron was confused and tried to contact Kim Soo Hyun but got no response. She tried calling from her personal phone number, but when he did not answer, she tried to contact him again through her cousin’s phone but still got no response.

Not long after, a reporter contacted Kim Sae Ron’s relative’s phone and asked, “Is this Kim Sae Ron?” Kim Sae Ron realized that Kim Soo Hyun had passed her phone number to reporters and felt betrayed.

Attempts to restore contact and Kim Soo Hyun’s reaction

During the broadcast of the drama Queen of Tears, Kim Sae Ron posted a photo on Instagram with her cheek pressed against Kim Soo Hyun and quickly deleted it. She later explained that she had posted it in the hope of pressuring the actor to contact her.

Kim Soo Hyun’s side treated Kim Sae Ron like a weirdo and denied the dating rumors. They still did not contact her. At this time, Kim Sae Ron prepared a statement that she planned to post on her Instagram story, but she did not post it in the end.

Unable to pay off the 700 million won in debt and facing financial difficulties, Kim Sae Ron took her own life on Kim Soo Hyun’s birthday.

Kim Sae Ron’s family said that they kept many photos from her relationship with Kim Soo Hyun and stated that Garosero Institute would gradually release them.

Speaking up against false reports

The reason Kim Sae Ron’s family revealed this information through a regular YouTube channel, instead of through the media, is because other media outlets intentionally suppressed Kim Sae Ron’s family’s revelations.

They were heartbroken and hurt even after her death by false reports claiming that Kim Sae Ron had no money and implying that her family took advantage of her. They urgently requested that false reports and comments stop.

In response to Kim Sae Ron’s aunt’s accusations, on March 10, Kim Soo Hyun’s side officially denied all these accusations and announced that they would take legal action against the spread of false information.

In response to Kim Soo Hyun’s statement, the Garosero Institute was not deterred, continuing to challenge the actor, affirming that the broadcast content was based on documents and direct interviews with Kim Sae Ron’s family
