Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron
Kim Soo-hyun, the star of Queen of Tears, is at the centre of controversy after a shocking allegation surfaced online. A recent video on the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute featured YouTuber Kim Se Ui and Kim Sae-ron’s aunt making serious claims about the actor’s past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron. The video alleges that Kim Soo-hyun was in a six-year relationship with Kim Sae-ron, which reportedly began when she was just 15 years old.
The controversy has cast a shadow over Kim Soo-hyun’s career, sparking intense debate among fans and the entertainment industry.
Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, swiftly responded with a firm denial. In a strongly worded statement, the agency said, “The claims made by Garosero Research Institute regarding Kim Soo Hyun on YouTube today are completely false. They alleged that our company and Kim Soo Hyun colluded with YouTuber Lee Jin Ho to harass the late Kim Sae Ron, that Kim Soo Hyun had been dating the late Kim Sae Ron since she was 15, that our agency`s response to her drunk driving accident was unfair, and that our company`s manager had a close relationship with YouTuber Lee Jin Ho.”

The agency further stated, “These accusations, along with numerous other malicious claims against our company and Kim Soo Hyun, are entirely false, and we cannot overlook them. As such, we are reviewing the strongest possible legal actions against Garosero Research Institute for spreading false information.”
Gold Medalist also criticised the YouTube channel for spreading unfounded rumours, saying, “We are deeply heartbroken by the news of the late Kim Sae-ron`s death, as she was once part of our company, and we mourn her passing. However, the dissemination of such false information by Garosero Research Institute directly continues the very same cyber harassment that caused her great distress during her lifetime.”
The channel continued its defiant stance, claiming, “Our Garosero didn’t just air random gossip; we spoke directly with Kim Sae Ron’s family. Why not try the ‘legal action’ move on them too? Haha.”
The allegations and counterclaims have fuelled widespread debate among netizens. While some believe the YouTube channel’s claims, others argue that spreading unverified information about a deceased actress is irresponsible. With Gold Medalist promising legal action, this controversy is far from over.
