**SEOUL, South Korea** – The death of actress Kim Sae-ron continues to generate controversy, with fresh accusations leveled against actor Kim Soo-hyun. Kim Sae-ron’s aunt alleges a six-year relationship between the two, beginning when Kim Sae-ron was only 15 years old. The aunt further claims that Kim Soo-hyun distanced himself after Kim Sae-ron’s 2022 DUI incident and that his agency, Gold Medalist, contributed to the late actress’s financial struggles, ultimately leading to her suicide.
These allegations, made on YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute, have sparked outrage online. The timing of Kim Soo-hyun’s birthday celebration, coinciding with Kim Sae-ron’s death, has also fueled speculation on social media. A photograph posted by Kim Soo-hyun on his birthday, February 16th, showing him celebrating with gifts and balloons, has been widely circulated.
Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, vehemently denies all allegations, calling them “completely false and malicious.” The controversy also involves YouTuber Garo Sero, who criticized boy band BTS for previous promises of legal action against similar accusations which, according to him, never materialized.
The accusations come amidst an already intense online discussion surrounding Kim Sae-ron’s death. Kim Sae-ron, known for her roles in dramas like *Listen to My Heart*, *The Queen’s Classroom*, and *Hi! School-Love On*, was 24 years old when she was found dead at her Seoul home. The case continues to unfold, with the potential for further legal ramifications.
