Kim Soo Hyun, a prominent South Korean actor, is facing a severe public backlash stemming from allegations regarding his relationship with young actress Kim Sae Ron. His silence in the face of purported evidence is jeopardizing his career.
The Tumultuous Allegations of Dating Kim Sae Ron
The controversy began when the YouTube channel Viện Garo Sero alleged a six-year relationship between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron, while the actress was still a minor. Kim Soo Hyun’s agency initially denied the claims, but later admitted to a prior relationship, stating it began when Kim Sae Ron was 19 years old.
However, Kim Sae Ron’s family continued to present evidence, including messages and handwritten letters, suggesting Kim Soo Hyun had been in contact with her as a middle school student. This evidence escalated the situation and sparked intense criticism of Kim Soo Hyun on social media.
