**SEOUL, South Korea** – Actor Kim Soo-hyun is embroiled in a major controversy following allegations of a six-year relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron, who was underage when the relationship allegedly began. The claims, made by YouTube channel Hoverlab, allege the relationship started when Kim Sae-ron was 15. Kim’s agency, Gold Medalist, vehemently denies the allegations, promising strong legal action. Hoverlab has since released a photo appearing to show Kim kissing Kim Sae-ron on the cheek, further fueling the scandal.
The accusations have sparked widespread outrage, with calls for Kim’s removal from MBC’s variety show, *Good Day*. His upcoming Disney+ drama, *Knock-Off*, continues filming, but its release date remains uncertain. Brand endorsements are also at stake, with companies like Homeplus and Tous les Jours reviewing their partnerships with the actor.
Kim Sae-ron, known for films like *The Man from Nowhere* and *The Neighbors*, was found dead at 24 last month. Her family’s involvement in the controversy is also adding to the public outcry. The situation presents a significant challenge to Kim Soo-hyun’s career and reputation.
