Recently, actor Kim Soo Hyun was in the spotlight after the family of the late actress Kim Sae Ron made shocking accusations linking his name to the tragedy that befell Kim Sae Ron. In a video uploaded on the controversial YouTube channel ' Garosero Research Institute ', Kim Sae Ron's aunt accused Kim Soo Hyun of being the main cause of her niece's death by suicide.
According to a report by Koreaboo on Tuesday March 11, 2025, Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron started their relationship in 2015, when Kim Sae Ron was 15 years old and Kim Soo Hyun was 27 years old. The relationship lasted for six years until 2021. In 2019, when Kim Soo Hyun founded the agency Gold Medalist , Kim Sae Ron joined after not renewing her contract with YG Entertainment.
Kim Sae Ron's aunt claims that her niece made a huge contribution to establishing the agency, including helping to recruit new talent and providing acting training. However, their relationship is said to have ended in 2022 after Kim Sae Ron's drunk driving incident came to public attention.
At that time, 'Gold Medalist' reportedly paid compensation of 700 million KRW (around 483,000 USD) to settle the legal issues faced by Kim Sae Ron. According to Kim Sae Ron's aunt, there was no request for the actress to return the money at first. In fact, Kim Sae Ron had expressed her gratitude to Kim Soo Hyun for the help.
However, in 2024, Kim Sae Ron suddenly received a demand to return the money. When trying to contact Kim Soo Hyun, the actress did not get an answer. Even when trying to contact her cousin's phone number, Kim Soo Hyun still did not respond.
The situation worsened when reporters began contacting Kim Sae Ron's family, which, according to the actress' aunt, was allegedly due to information provided by Kim Soo Hyun. Feeling betrayed, Kim Sae Ron then uploaded a photo of herself with Kim Soo Hyun on Instagram in the hope of getting his attention.
However, the opposite happened. Gold Medalist released an official statement that, according to Kim Sae Ron's family, actually worsened the actress' image in the public eye. Kim Sae Ron's aunt claims that financial stress from demands for repayment of the money as well as feelings of betrayal contributed to Kim Sae Ron's tragic decision on Kim Soo Hyun's birthday.
The late actress' family even plans to release evidence in the form of photos of Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun's six-year relationship through the 'Garosero Research Institute'. On the other hand, Kim Sae Ron's father will take legal action against another former journalist and controversial YouTuber, Lee Jin Ho, as the person responsible for his daughter's death.
Lee Jin Ho is known to have a channel similar to 'Garosero Research Institute' and often discusses sensitive issues in the Korean entertainment industry, including making several gossip-based videos about the late Kim Sae Ron. The controversy is still developing, and the public is looking forward to further developments regarding the legal steps that will be taken by Kim Soo Hyun and Gold Medalist.
