Actor Kim Soo-hyun is embroiled in allegations that he dated the late Kim Sae-ron since their minor years, and past episodes related to him are being unearthed. This time, actor Choi Woo-shik's remarks are drawing attention.

Choi Woo-shik mentioned Kim Soo-hyun while appearing on MBC's entertainment program 'Radio Star' in February 2014. The two starred together in the 2013 film 'Secretly, Greatly.'

During the broadcast, Yoon Jong-shin asked Choi Woo-shik, "It seems you have a sense of rivalry with Kim Soo-hyun. When asked in an interview, 'What do you think of Kim Soo-hyun?' you said, 'I heard bad rumors about that guy...'" The MCs added, "As soon as you were asked, you dissed him," and "Isn't there just a one-year difference?"

A flustered Choi Woo-shik quickly sought to recover. He said, "Soo-hyun probably doesn't know who I am," and added, "In 'Secretly, Greatly,' the scene I’m in, I always hit him from behind, and I hit really hard."

In response, Yoon Jong-shin said, "You go so far as to hit him, and then say, 'I heard bad rumors about that guy'... why?" He teased Choi Woo-shik. Then, Choi Woo-shik honestly replied, "That's not it. I really wanted to get close to him, but he put up a wall."

The MCs continued to fluster Choi Woo-shik, asking, "Are you dissing him more?" and "Isn't it a rumor created by Choi Woo-shik?" The actor Ra Mi-ran, who appeared with them, also teased Choi Woo-shik by making a headline that said, "Kim Soo-hyun is picky about people."

Then, actor Kim Gi-bang, who appeared with them, mentioned, "Soo-hyun is a very friendly guy... I have taken him home before because our houses are close. If Soo-hyun sits in the backseat, I'm not confident to say, 'Hey, sit in the front.'" This anecdote drew attention.

Choi Woo-shik's remarks are from a broadcast that aired as long as 10 years ago, but as Kim Soo-hyun recently faces controversy regarding his private life related to the late Kim Sae-ron, it is once again attracting attention.

Meanwhile, Kim Soo-hyun's side stated, "To clarify the facts and to respond to unfounded rumors regarding the dating rumor with the late Kim Sae-ron (minor dating allegations) raised by the YouTube channel 'Garosero Research Institute' since the 10th, we will reveal our stance next week based on clear evidence." The 'Garosero Research Institute' claims that, through tips from the late Kim Sae-ron's family, Kim Soo-hyun has been dating Kim Sae-ron since she was 15 for six years, and they are revealing presumed couple photos and handwritten letters.
