Allegations Regarding Kim Sae Ron

Recently, Kim Sae Ron’s family stated in an interview with HoverLab Inc.:

“It is true that Kim Soo Hyun and the late Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship. They dated for six years. Kim Sae Ron did all the work without getting paid to help establish Gold Medalist (Kim Soo Hyun’s agency), but they discarded her like an old shoe.”

Additionally, the family revealed writings left by Kim Sae Ron, in which she stated:

“The photo uploaded to [Instagram] Story is from 2016, and the relationship lasted from November 2016 to July 2021. I was 15 years old, and the other person (Kim Soo Hyun) was 27. That’s how our six-year relationship ended.”

Kim Sae Ron, born in 2000, was 12 years younger than Kim Soo Hyun, who was born in 1988. In March of last year, she posted a photo of herself cheek-to-cheek with Kim Soo Hyun on Instagram but later deleted it.
