Kim Soo Hyunagency Gold medal issued their statement by confuting Garo Sero Institutestatements and also confirming that he did the date Kim Sae RonBut only when he was an adult.
The gold medal today published a series of statements, on March 14, KST, linked to Kim Soo Hyun. Their first declaration was linked to the statements made by the Garo Sero Institute on their YouTube channel, sharing how the mental health of Kim Soo Hyun made a recession because of their statements.
Hi, this is gold medal.
We are sharing the position of Kim Soo Hyun on the recent reports of the Garo Sero Institute.
Previously we shared that a declaration will be shared next week with concrete tests to refute the requests submitted in their reports.
However, Kim Soo Hyun showed a sudden instability in his psychological health this morning, so we are adopting measures to make sure it is in complete stability. He suffered under the extreme chaos due to statements made by the Garo Sero Institute to be responsible for the sudden death of Kim Sae Ron. In addition, after their live broadcast ended on March 12, people in the car with cameras were waiting for the company’s parking and through the main entrance, and at lunchtime on March 13, the people who held the cameras were circumventing for the building, adding to the psychological pressure carried out on Kim Soo Hyun.
Please understand that we have released this urgent declaration to reveal the truth about important issues. Even if this is different from our original plan, nothing else has the priority on this, so we are sharing this statement even if there may still be some loose ends.
They also released a long statement that confirms that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron attended, but only when he was an adult.
Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were attending between the summer of 2019 and the autumn of 2020, after becoming an adult. It is not true that Kim Soo Hyun attended her when she was a minor. The photo of Kim Sae Ron who uploaded on March 24, 2024 on his history of Instagram and the photo that the Garo Sero Institute shared on 11 March 2025 were private images taken by the two in the winter of 2020 when they were leaving [T/N: Gold Medalist’s statement specifically mentioned Winter 2020 while claiming they were dating between Summer 2019 and Fall 2020]. The clothes that Kim Sae Ron wore at the time were released in June 2019 by the brand, so the affirmation of the Garo Sero Institute according to which the photo was taken in 2016 when Kim Sae Ron was a minor is impossible.
In addition, another photo shared by the Garo Sero Institute on March 12, 2025, was a photo taken by the two on Christmas Eve, on December 24, 2019. This can be confirmed through the metadata of the photo. The photo published on March 13, 2025 was taken on the same day, as seen in the fact that they wear the same clothes. All the photos shared by the Garo Sero Institute with the statement that Kim Soo Hyun attended Kim Sae Ron when he was taken after becoming an adult. Their affirmation that these photos were taken in 2016 have no reasons. This is because the two did not go out at that moment.
Kim Soo Hyun’s letter to Kim Sae Ron while he was in the army was just one of the letters he sent to his close friends. As you could see from the content of the letter, Kim Soo Hyun was adapting to the military lifestyle and used the letter to let his close friends know about his daily life in the army. The expression “I miss you” is a carefree expression used by soldiers for their close friends. However, Garo Sero Institute says that the two have been attended since 2015, using the photos taken after Kim Sae Ron was adult and claiming that they had come since he was a minor. They used the postcard sent to Kim Sae Ron after the two were attending to strengthen their statement that the military letter was also a love letter. The nickname of Kim Sae Ron (saero black, Synnon) which he had used since 2016 to seem that it was a nickname that only the two used to each other.
There are many criticisms directed to Kim Soo Hyun regarding their relationship. Even if a relationship between two adults is a private question, it is natural to expect that Kim Soo Hyun’s life, as a person who is loved by many people, will be within the public sphere. If there are criticism to have, then it should accept it seriously and should sting even more. However, due to the report of the Garo Sero Institute, a plethora of false statements and disinformation is spreading as if they were true. The informant who appeared in their transmission and has made numerous false statements said she was part of the family of Kim Sae Ron. But according to an average, it is actually just a knowledge of Kim Sae Ron’s mother, [not her aunt]. They are distorting reality and creating voices based on some photos and information by an informant whose identity cannot even be confirmed.
The fact that the extremely personal private lives of two people are revealed by others and the fact that both Kim Soo Hyun and the deceased [Kim Sae Ron] They are discussing their private life together with numerous voices and speculative relationships, it is extremely painful for Kim Soo Hyun and for those around him both to him and Kim Sae Ron. After the private lives of the two were revealed by the Garo Sero Institute, we believe that the various public opinions on its choices are inevitable. But the past in which two consenting adults came out and broken are distorted by other and countless lies are still widespread. It is incredibly painful for a person to endure all this because of their private life. Furthermore, digging in the private life of the deceased is an act of defaming their honor.
Initially, the gold medal said they would make a statement next week.
