The controversy surrounding Kim Soo Hyun and the late Kim Sae Ron continues to grow as her family breaks their silence.

On March 11, the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute (Gaseyeon) held a live broadcast, sharing new photos and messages related to Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron.

During the broadcast, a photo of Kim Soo Hyun kissing Kim Sae Ron on the cheek was revealed, shocking many. According to Gaseyeon, this photo was taken in 2016, when Kim Sae Ron was just 16 years old, and Kim Soo Hyun was 28.

Kim Sae Ron’s family has now stepped forward, saying they are not trying to attack Kim Soo Hyun.

“We are simply revealing the truth as it is.”

Gaseyeon also revealed a text message from Kim Sae Ron to Kim Soo Hyun, sent in March 2023, after she received a legal demand from her former agency, Gold Medalist.

In the message, Kim Sae Ron pleaded:

"Oppa, it's me, Sae Ron. I received the certified document. They say they’re suing me… I plan to pay back the money gradually with each project I take on. I’m not saying I won’t repay it, but I just can’t afford to pay 700 million won all at once. Please help me… I’m begging you, give me some time."

However, reports claim that Kim Soo Hyun never replied.

In an interview, Kim Sae Ron’s mother and aunt stated that they had no choice but to speak out after YouTuber Lee Jin Ho claimed that Kim Sae Ron’s past posts were fake.

Her aunt clarified:

“We are not trying to attack Kim Soo Hyun.”

She continued:

“We did not fabricate anything. Our family can only tell the truth as it is.”

Meanwhile, Kim Sae Ron’s mother explained why they are speaking up now:

“We don’t want to cause conflict. We just want my daughter to be remembered as an actress, not as a gossip topic.”

Despite these new revelations, Kim Soo Hyun’s side has not released a new statement.

Previously, after Gaseyeon’s first report, Gold Medalist strongly denied the allegations, stating:

“All of these claims are completely false and unacceptable. We will review the strongest possible legal action.”

However, Gaseyeon fired back, challenging the agency:

"We broadcasted this based on direct evidence and interviews with Kim Sae Ron’s family. Try issuing legal threats to the bereaved family as well."

Public opinion is now shifting, as many are questioning Kim Soo Hyun’s previous denial. The photo of him kissing Kim Sae Ron has sparked demands for further clarification.

With more evidence emerging, will Kim Soo Hyun finally speak out? Stay tuned for updates.

Red Velvet’s Yeri has touched fans with a heartfelt tribute to her late friend Kim Sae Ron.

On March 12, Yeri posted a photo on her social media, showing herself with a woman believed to be Kim Sae Ron. The two were seen affectionately linking arms, reminding fans of their close friendship.

But what really caught attention was the message Yeri shared alongside the photo. She included lyrics from Jennie’s song "Slow Motion (feat. Zico)", which has gained meaning after Jennie revealed she wrote it "for one special friend."

Yeri specifically highlighted this line:
"I didn't leave ya, I still see ya."

Seeing Yeri’s emotional post, fans left messages of support, saying:
"This is so heartbreaking..."
"Yeri and Sae Ron had such a precious friendship."
"We miss you, Sae Ron."

Meanwhile, Kim Sae Ron’s family recently made shocking claims through the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute. They alleged that she had been in a six-year relationship with Kim Soo Hyun since she was 15 years old and that her former agency, Gold Medalist, initially covered the ₩700 million KRW (~$530,000 USD) for her DUI accident, only to later demand repayment after her contract ended.

It was also claimed that Kim Sae Ron had posted an old photo with Kim Soo Hyun in an attempt to get in contact with him or his agency, as they had allegedly cut her off.

However, Gold Medalist firmly denied all allegations, stating, “The claims made by Garo Sero Institute regarding actor Kim Soo Hyun are completely false.”

As more details continue to unfold, fans are remembering Kim Sae Ron for the person she was, not just the controversies surrounding her. Yeri’s post has reminded everyone of the beautiful friendships she had in the industry.
