**SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA** – Gold Medalist, the agency representing actor Kim Soo-hyun, released a lengthy statement today addressing swirling rumors of a past relationship between Kim Soo-hyun and the late actress Kim Sae-ron.

Gold Medalist asserted that they assisted Kim Sae-ron in settling her debts, including significant penalties resulting from the incident, reducing the total amount owed by millions of won. The agency strongly contested the program’s portrayal of their handling of Kim Sae-ron’s vehicle, insisting they worked to minimize her financial burden.
