Seoul: Actor Kim Soo-hyun on Monday strongly denied allegations made by a YouTube channel claiming he was in a long-term relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron. The allegations have sparked significant attention, prompting a swift response from Kim’s representatives.
According to Yonhap News Agency, Kim’s agency, Gold Medalist, issued a statement refuting the claims made by YouTube channel Hoverlab. The channel alleged that Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron had been in a relationship for six years, beginning when Kim Sae-ron was 15 years old. The agency described these claims as “completely false” and emphasized that they are considering “the strongest possible legal action” to address the situation.
Both actors were previously signed under the management of Gold Medalist, which has added another layer of complexity to the allegations. Kim Sae-ron, known for her roles in “The Man from Nowhere” and “The Neighbors,” tragically passed away last month at the age of 24. Her career faced challenges following a DUI incident in May 2022, where she crashed her vehicle into a roadside electrical transformer in southern Seoul while under the influence.
