On the evening of March 10, a Korean media channel livestreamed an exclusive news report on YouTube with the title: "Kim Soo Hyun is related to the passing of Kim Sae Ron (dating for 6 years since Kim Sae Ron was 15 years old)".

In the news, the reporter had an exclusive interview with Kim Sae Ron's relatives. They confirmed that the late actress started dating Kim Soo Hyun when she was 15 years old, Kim Soo Hyun was 27 years old at that time. Their relationship lasted for 6 years (until 2021).

In addition to the interview, the reporter cited additional evidence discussed on social media when Kim Sae Ron passed away. She passed away at her home on February 16, 2025, and February 16 was also Kim Soo Hyun's birthday.

Previously, Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron worked under the same management company Gold Medalist. But after the "drunk driving" scandal car”, she terminated her contract with the company at the end of 2022 and had to temporarily stop working.

Last March, Kim Sae Ron suddenly posted an intimate photo of her cheek to cheek with Kim Soo Hyun on her personal page.

The photo was immediately deleted, but it quickly spread on social media and caused controversy. Many viewers suspected that the two were in love.

Kim Sae Ron did not say anything more, but just 1 day later, Gold Medalist spoke up to say that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were not in a relationship.

The photo was taken a long time ago, possibly during the time when the two were still under the same management company. Kim Soo Hyun's side did not know Kim Sae Ron's intention when posting this photo.

At that time, Kim Sae Ron was criticized by Kim Soo Hyun's fans, who said that she was deliberately "relying on" her senior because the movie "Queen of Tears" was causing a stir.

However, when Kim Sae Ron passed away on Kim Soo Hyun's birthday, the suspicion that the two had dated was discussed again.

The reporter in the livestream added that after being involved in a drunk driving incident, Kim Sae Ron left the company and the compensation of 700 million won was paid by the company.

She promised to pay back the money, but due to financial difficulties, she could not repay the company. Kim Sae Ron tried to contact Kim Soo Hyun for help but never received a response.

It is speculated that the feeling of being betrayed by the person she once loved may be the reason why Kim Sae Ron chose to leave on Kim Soo Hyun's birthday.

Currently, Kim Soo Hyun's side has not responded to this news.
