In a telephone conversation with My Daily on March 25, Kim Sae-ron said, “I am currently writing my statement. I will deliver my position as soon as it is organized.”

Just a day earlier, Kim Sae-ron posted a photo of herself with Kim Soo-hyun on her Instagram story. In the photo, the two are dressed comfortably and are affectionately making a face-to-face pose.

Soon after, Kim Sae-ron immediately deleted the photo, but controversy still arose over her “self-made dating rumor” with Kim Soo-hyun. Some netizens raised suspicions that Kim Sae-ron was aiming for the buzz of Kim Soo-hyun as he is starring in the recently popular tvN drama “Queen of Tears.”

On the same day, Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, Gold Mdalist, denied the dating rumor, saying, “The photo appears to have been taken when the two were in the same agency in the past, and the intention behind Kim Sae-ron’s posting of the photo is unknown to us.”

Meanwhile, Kim Sae-ron was also under Gold Medalist before she caused a drunk driving scandal and got her contract terminated.
