Wed Mar 12 06:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Kim Soo-hyun Accused of Six-Year Relationship with Underage Kim Sae-ron; Agency Denies, Lawsuit Threatened

**SEOUL, South Korea** – A controversy erupted following the recent death of 24-year-old South Korean actress Kim Sae-ron. A YouTube channel, “Horizontal and Vertical Research Institute,” claimed that Kim Soo-hyun, 27, had a six-year relationship with Kim Sae-ron, beginning when she was only 15. The channel, citing a woman claiming to be Kim Sae-ron’s aunt, also alleged that the late actress faced suppression from her agency, Gold Medalist.

To support their claims, the channel released purported photos of Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron together, including a picture showing a kiss, as well as screenshots of text messages allegedly sent by Kim Sae-ron to Kim Soo-hyun. The messages detail financial difficulties and a plea for more time to repay a debt, hinting at possible legal action initiated by Kim Soo-hyun.

Kim Soo-hyun’s agency vehemently denied the allegations on October 10th, threatening legal action against the YouTube channel. The channel, however, doubled down on its claims, asserting that the information came from Kim Sae-ron’s family and promising to release more evidence.

The unfolding scandal follows the tragic passing of Kim Sae-ron on February 16th, leaving the veracity of the explosive accusations and their impact on the public image of both actors to be seen. The legal battle between Kim Soo-hyun’s agency and the YouTube channel is expected to be closely followed.
