On the morning of the 13th, Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, announced through an official statement, "In order to clarify the facts and respond to baseless rumors, we will reveal our position next week based on clear evidence."
They added, "We apologize for causing fatigue over a long period. We ask for your understanding as this is to avoid continued reports."
Currently, Kim Soo-hyun is embroiled in controversy due to revelations from the YouTube channel Garoseoro Research Institute (Gaseyeon) that he was in a romantic relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron, who was 15 years old when he was 28, for six years. According to the content, the two dated from 2015 to 2021, and when Kim Soo-hyun established his agency, Gold Medalist, the late Kim Sae-ron moved to that agency.
Additionally, when the late Kim Sae-ron was involved in a drunk driving accident in 2022, her agency paid 700 million won in compensation on her behalf, and although they did not demand repayment, they sent a notice to repay the amount after the contract expired in 2024. Subsequently, it was revealed through a person claiming to be the late Kim Sae-ron's aunt that Kim Soo-hyun had not been in contact.
