Actor Kim Soo-hyun has acknowledged dating the late actress Kim Sae-ron, but clarified that their relationship occurred after she became an adult, from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020. This statement was made in response to allegations that the two had been in a relationship since Kim Sae-ron was a minor. Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, emphasized that any claims suggesting a relationship during her underage years are false. The controversy surrounding their relationship has led to significant backlash against Kim Soo-hyun, including calls for his removal from the variety show 'Good Day' and the withdrawal of advertising campaigns featuring him. The situation has escalated to the point where Kim Sae-ron's family, including her mother who is suffering from facial nerve paralysis, is preparing to take legal action against Kim Soo-hyun, accusing him of defamation for denying the relationship during her minor years. Kim Sae-ron's aunt, who has been vocal on the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute, also claims the couple discussed marriage. Amidst the ongoing controversy, Kim Soo-hyun's agency has also addressed allegations that he pressured Kim Sae-ron to repay a large sum of money, which they deny. They stated that any legal notices sent were procedural to avoid liability, not to demand repayment. The agency also highlighted the emotional toll the situation has taken on Kim Soo-hyun, describing him as being in a state of psychological instability. Separately, actor Yoo Yeon-seok faces a 7 billion won penalty from the National Tax Service over tax issues related to his agency, Forever Entertainment.
