Dating rumors involving Kim Soo Hyun, which were spread in 2021, have been brought to light.
A late-night photo of former child star Kim Sae Ron and her senior Kim Soo Hyun has exploded public opinion. Many viewers were surprised when the two actors had such a close and intimate moment as “cheek to cheek” as in the photo. Even many netizens “dug” up an article by reporter Kim Yong Ho on a forum in 2021, which revealed that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron had dated.
However, besides this couple, what surprised the public even more was that there were many other couples mentioned. Before Kim Sae Ron, Kim Soo Hyun had dated actress Seo Ye Ji.
According to the article and the listing order of reporter Kim Yong Ho, Seo Ye Ji dated male star Kim Jung Hyun. After the two went their separate ways, Seo Ye Ji switched to dating Kim Soo Hyun. The couple joined the same company Gold Medalist in 2020, just when the company was founded. This was also when the two starred in the hit drama ‘It’s Okay to Not Be Okay’.
It is highly likely that Kim Soo Hyun and Seo Ye Ji developed a relationship after the drama, but it ended not long after that. Seo Ye Ji is next believed to have dated Lee Sa Rang – Kim Soo Hyun’s cousin and also the co-founder of Gold Medalist. Also during that time, Kim Soo Hyun developed feelings for his junior Kim Sae Ron.
After gaining fame with “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay,” Seo Ye Ji began to be highly sought after. However, the career of the female star born in 1990 quickly withered due to a shocking scandal involving her ex-boyfriend Kim Jung Hyun. She was exposed for manipulating and controlling Kim Jung Hyun, forbidding him from interacting with his co-star Seohyun when he was filming ‘Time’ in 2018.
In addition, Seo Ye Ji’s lying about studying abroad, bullying her co-stars, and having star disease… made her widely boycotted. She left Gold Medalist after the scandal, much like how Kim Sae Ron was also “punished” by contract termination after several controversies.
