The late Kim Sae Ron’s mother stepped in to block the release of private photos of Kim Soo Hyun, expressing deep concern for his mental state.
On March 14, Kim Soo Hyun officially admitted to dating Kim Sae Ron after years of denial.
His agency, Gold Medalist, released a statement saying, "We were planning to respond next week, but due to Kim Soo Hyun's unstable condition, we are addressing the issue in advance."

They confirmed that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron dated from summer 2019 to fall 2020—after she became an adult.
However, the agency firmly denied any romantic involvement before then, stating, "Kim Soo Hyun did not date Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor."
They also addressed a letter he sent her during his military service, explaining, "The phrase ‘I miss you’ was just a casual expression to a close friend."
The statement also tackled rumors that Kim Soo Hyun abandoned Kim Sae Ron after her DUI controversy, leading her into financial ruin.
Gold Medalist refuted the claim, saying, "The company paid off the remaining debt in full. By that time, Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron had already broken up for four years, and he was unaware of the situation."
Following Kim Soo Hyun’s statement, YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute (Gaseyeon) hit back, accusing him of lying.
“Last year, he denied everything, but now he suddenly admits they dated? And what about the letters? Who casually says ‘I love you’ and ‘I miss you’ to a minor? Stop with the excuses!”
They then made a shocking claim:
“We have photos and videos of Kim Soo Hyun at Kim Sae Ron’s house—one of them shows him washing dishes undressed.”
They initially planned to reveal them but changed their minds at the last moment.
Right before the live broadcast, Gaseyeon made an unexpected announcement:
"Kim Sae Ron’s mother personally begged us not to release the photos. She’s worried about Kim Soo Hyun’s mental health after he admitted to suffering from anxiety. She fears he might take extreme measures."
According to them, the bereaved family stopped the photos from being revealed because "the images are too damaging."
Meanwhile, Kim Sae Ron’s mother also released a statement, expressing frustration over how her family’s intentions have been twisted.
“After much thought, I decided to speak out. Our only goal is to restore the honor of a child whose reputation was destroyed overnight by countless false articles.”
With these shocking developments, netizens are wondering—is this really the full story?
