While Kim Sae Ron's family previously confirmed, Kim Sae Ron dated actor Kim Soo Hyun from 2015 to 2021.
After this information, many questions were raised by the audience because the timeline coincided with her relationship with this idol star.
This boyfriend is known as idol A member, older than Kim Sae Ron.
The two were said to have broken up for a short time in early 2019, but got back together in early to mid-2022 - at a time when Kim Sae Ron faced public opposition for her drunk driving accident.
According to Korean media, A lent Kim Sae Ron a large sum of money during this time, when she was struggling financially.
Kim Sae Ron is then said to have publicly introduced A as her boyfriend to acquaintances. Actress Kim Sae Ron did not try to keep this relationship a secret. Although they officially broke up in early 2023, they were still in contact until last year.
An entertainment industry insider said: "Even after breaking up, Kim Sae Ron and A are still friends. The purpose of revealing their past relationship is only to clarify the timeline related to Kim Soo Hyun, and we hope that people do not dig too deep into A's personal information."
Meanwhile, some people speculate that Kim Sae Ron's ex-boyfriend is a member of a famous 7-member idol group, but this information has been confirmed by Korean media as false.
