Kim Soo-hyun Faces Controversy Over Alleged Past Relationship with Late Kim Sae-ron

Actor Kim Soo-hyun is currently embroiled in controversy following allegations regarding a past relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron during her minor years. The claims were brought to light by the YouTube channel 'Garo Sero Research Institute' (commonly known as Gaseyeon), which asserted that the two were once in a romantic relationship.

Gaseyeon specifically alleged that Kim Sae-ron and Kim Soo-hyun dated for over six years starting when she was just 15 years old. They also criticized the response from Gold Medalist, the agency representing both actors, regarding Kim Sae-ron's DUI incident, labeling it as inappropriate.

In response, Gold Medalist firmly denied the allegations, stating that Gaseyeon has made numerous malicious claims, including that Kim Soo-hyun colluded with YouTubers to harass the late actress. The agency announced plans to take strong legal action against the spread of false information.

As Gaseyeon continued to release additional revelations, public sentiment turned negative, impacting Kim Soo-hyun's ongoing projects and brand endorsements. Currently, he is the face of over ten brands, and in light of the backlash, some companies have begun removing his images and making videos private.

Moreover, there has been a surge of requests on the viewer board of MBC's variety show 'Good Day' for Kim Soo-hyun to step down from the program. Reports on March 12 indicated that he would not participate in the filming scheduled for March 13, and discussions regarding editing previous footage are expected to follow.

However, the production team for Kim Soo-hyun's upcoming Disney+ original series 'Knock Off' has confirmed that filming for Season 2 will proceed as planned, with no changes related to the recent controversy.
