"From summer 2019 to fall 2020" vs. "From November 19, 2015, to July 7, 2021." Conflicting claims regarding the dating period of actor Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron have emerged.
On the 14th, the 'dating period' became a contentious issue amid the controversy surrounding the dating rumors of Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron. This is the fallout from conflicting assertions made by Kim Soo-hyun and the 'Garosero Research Institute.'
First, Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Goldmedalist, issued an urgent statement this morning, revealing that Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron dated from summer 2019 to fall 2020. They refuted the 'Garosero Research Institute's' claim regarding 'dating a minor' by stating that Kim Sae-ron became his girlfriend only after reaching adulthood.
However, they acknowledged the reversal regarding their previous denial of the dating rumors with Kim Sae-ron last year, calling it "not true." In this context, a Goldmedalist official cautiously explained to OSEN through an exclusive report, "Both individuals found it difficult to acknowledge that they broke up four years ago from the time the dating rumors first surfaced."
In response, the 'Garosero Research Institute' intensified criticism of Kim Soo-hyun through a live broadcast on their YouTube channel. They referenced entries from Kim Sae-ron's diary regarding the dating period with Kim Soo-hyun. According to this, Kim Sae-ron dated Kim Soo-hyun for nearly six years from November 19, 2015, when she was a minor, to July 7, 2021.
Additionally, they mentioned that Goldmedalist stated the photos of skinship between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron they released were from 'winter 2020.' They claimed that the assertion of dating until fall 2020 is also false, raising doubts about it.
Nevertheless, Goldmedalist indicated that the photos released by the 'Garosero Research Institute' were specified as being from 'early winter 2020.' The 'Garosero Research Institute' also seemed unable to shake the impression that they were misrepresenting public opinion while concealing this information.
Ultimately, the dating timing of Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron has become a complicated layer around the past dating controversies involving the two. Alongside the confusion of Goldmedalist admitting to a prior denial of the dating rumors and the 'Garosero Research Institute's' selective editing of information to present only favorable details related to the late Kim Sae-ron's records, tensions are rising.
The truth battle between Kim Soo-hyun and the 'Garosero Research Institute' remains ongoing. The 'Garosero Research Institute' shows no sign of stopping their additional allegations through live broadcasts. They repeatedly emphasized, "There are more photos and videos," in an effort to attract the attention of online viewers. Conversely, Goldmedalist reported that Kim Soo-hyun is currently exhibiting "extreme anxiety symptoms," exercising caution. Attention is focused on whether the announcement expected next week, as warned in the urgent statement, will provide further details.
Recently, the 'Garosero Research Institute' raised suspicions of 'grooming crimes,' claiming that Kim Sae-ron, who passed away on the 16th of last month, had a relationship with Kim Soo-hyun while she was a minor. Additionally, they alleged that Goldmedalist's sending of a notice of damages for 700 million won exerted strong pressure, claiming that Kim Soo-hyun turned a blind eye to the situation. However, Goldmedalist denied the related allegations, countering that they were "defamation based on false facts" and announced a strong legal response.
