What Were the Allegations Against Kim Soo Hyun by Kim Sae Ron's Aunt?
Kim Soo Hyun's agency already responded to the dating allegations made by Kim Sae Ron's aunt on the controversial YouTube channel, Garosero Research Institute. But what are the allegations?
First off, the allegations exposed the actor and blamed the late actress’s suicide death on his actions.
According to a phone conversation, Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun started dating in 2015, when she was 15 and he was 27. Their relationship lasted until 2021.
In 2019, when Kim Soo Hyun launched his own agency, GOLD MEDALIST, Kim Sae Ron chose not to renew her contract with her former agency, YG Entertainment, and decided to join him instead.
According to her aunt, Kim Sae Ron was dating Kim Soo Hyun at the time and supported him in setting up the company by offering free labor, including mentoring new talent and providing acting lessons.
The aunt claimed that the two ended their relationship in 2022, around the time Kim Sae Ron’s drunk driving incident made headlines. Initially, Kim Sae Ron said she would handle the situation herself, but Kim Soo Hyun and GOLD MEDALIST later offered to step in, and she agreed to let them manage it.
GOLD MEDALIST ended up covering ₩700 million KRW (approximately $483,000 USD) in damages. According to the aunt, the agency never asked Kim Sae Ron to repay the amount. She also shared that, during a car ride, Kim Sae Ron expressed her gratitude toward Kim Soo Hyun for his financial support and even remarked on what a good person he was. The aunt added that Kim Sae Ron mentioned she wanted to work hard so she could eventually pay him back.
Afterward, Kim Sae Ron’s contract with GOLD MEDALIST expired.
According to the aunt, Kim Sae Ron was blindsided when she received a notice demanding repayment of the ₩700 million KRW (approximately $483,000 USD) in 2024. Shocked, she attempted to contact Kim Soo Hyun, but he reportedly ignored her calls. Even when she tried reaching out through her cousin’s phone, he remained unreachable.
The aunt further claimed that not long after, Korean reporters began contacting the cousin, asking to speak with Kim Sae Ron. She alleged that the late actress felt deeply betrayed, believing it was Kim Soo Hyun who had shared their contact information with the media.
The aunt stated that around this time—while Kim Soo Hyun’s drama Queen of Tears was airing—Kim Sae Ron decided to post a photo of herself with him on Instagram, hoping it would prompt a response and get him to call her back.
Instead, Kim Soo Hyun and GOLD MEDALIST released an official statement that, according to the aunt, portrayed Kim Sae Ron in a negative light. Despite her efforts to reach out, they continued to ignore her.
The aunt stated that Kim Sae Ron was under severe financial strain, unable to repay the ₩700 million KRW (approximately $483,000 USD). She claimed that the actress ultimately died by suicide on Kim Soo Hyun’s birthday.
She added that the grieving family possesses ample evidence, including photos, of the late actress’s six-year relationship with the actor. He stated that they plan to make this public through the Garosero Research Institute.
