On the morning of March 14, Kim Soo Hyun's management company - Gold Medalist - officially spoke up on behalf of the actor to clarify the dating rumors with the late actor Kim Sae Ron that have shocked in recent days.
Gold Medalist said: Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron dated from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020, after Kim Sae Ron was old enough to mature.
Its not true that Kim Soo Hyun dated Kim Sae Ron when she was a teenager.
According to the company, the photo was released by Kim Sae Ron on Instagram story in the early morning of March 24, 2024 and the photo released by Garosero channel on the program aired on March 11, 2025, both of which are private moments of the two during their dating in 2020.
The shirt Kim Sae Ron wore in the photo was designed by a brand launched in June 2019, so Garosero's claim that the photo was taken in 2016 when Kim Sae Ron was a minor is completely unlikely, Kim Soo Hyuns company denied the actors dating of Kim Sae Ron when she was only 15-16 years old.
Gold Medalist added that another photo released by Garosero on March 12 was a photo of the two taken on December 24, 2019, which was Christmas. The photo of Garosero announced on March 13 was also taken on the same day, which can be seen through Kim Sae Ron wearing the same outfit.
The company stressed that it had held the data of that photo.
Gold Medalist concluded: All the photos that Garosero took as evidence that Kim Soo Hyun dated Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor were taken after Kim Sae Ron grew up.
Garosero's repeated claim about the " 2016 photo" was unlikely to survive, as the two were not dating at the time.
Previously, Garosero channel repeatedly said that their news was based on documents provided by Kim Sae Ron's family and exclusive interviews with the actor's family.
