Actor Kim Soo-hyun has denied dating rumors with the late Kim Sae-ron, while additional photos resembling a romantic atmosphere from Kim Sae-ron's middle school days, when she was a minor, have been revealed, shocking many.
On the evening of Nov. 11, the YouTube channel 'Garoseoro Research Institute' addressed the dating controversy between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron in detail during a live broadcast.
Among these, a photo of Kim Sae-ron and Kim Soo-hyun appeared. In the photo, Kim Soo-hyun is seen giving Kim Sae-ron a peck on the cheek, drawing attention. Kim Sae-ron, appearing familiar, takes a selfie that evokes a friendly, romantic atmosphere.
'Garoseoro Research Institute' claimed that the photo was taken on the same day as a photo of Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron that Kim Sae-ron had previously posted on social media before deleting, which caused controversy. Notably, they emphasized that Kim Sae-ron was a minor in the 3rd year of middle school at that time.
Previously, 'Garoseoro Research Institute' claimed that Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron were past lovers. In particular, they argued that the two had been dating for over six years since Kim Sae-ron was 15 and criticized the response of Gold Medalist, the agency for both Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron, regarding Kim Sae-ron's drunk driving incident as inappropriate.
In this regard, Gold Medalist expressed their official position, stating, "We will consider the strongest level of legal action available against the dissemination of false information by 'Garoseoro Research Institute' that cannot be tolerated."
However, confusion is arising as an additional photo of Kim Soo-hyun appearing to give Kim Sae-ron a peck on the cheek has been disclosed. In relation to this, Gold Medalist stated to OSEN, "We will distribute additional official statements as soon as they are organized," remaining reserved.
