On March 12, the Garo Sero Institute, a YouTube channel managed by lawyers and former journalists known for exporting hidden stories in the entertainment sector, held a live streaming streaming, revealing a series of shocking images relating to Kim Soo-Hyun and Kim Sae-Se-S. The title alone was sufficient to arouse controversy: “I love you, Kim Sae-Ron (a letter from the private Kim Soo-Hyun)”.
Before the broadcast, the channel published a photo of Kim Soo-Hyun who kissed Kim Sae-Se-Se-See-See intimately, together with a letter that had written to her while serving military service. According to these new revelations, the two actors had been romantically involved since 2018.
This revelation immediately sent social media to a frenzy. With a new convincing emergency of the tests, it has become increasingly difficult for Kim Soo-Hyun to deny his long-term relationship with Kim Sae-Sign. Exactly at 19:00 (KST), Livestreame started, providing more details on their relationship and sharing photos never seen before Kim Soo-Hyun during his military service. The content of his love letter quickly became one of the most discussed topics on online forums.
By adding further shocks, Livestream confirmed the exact date that the two actors would start dating is November 19, 2015.
The accusations of juvenile involvement intensify
This revelation deepened the concerns about Kim-Hyun’s alleged involvement with Kim Sae-S during his adolescence. The fans quickly recalled that in 2015 Kim Sae-Ron was still a highly sought after child in South Korea. On November 22, 2015, a few days after the start of their alleged relationship, he made his debut as MC for Music Core of MBC, together with his colleague of the nascent star Kim Min-Jae. He continued to host the show until 2017.
Following these revelations, the photos of the fifteen-year-old Kim Sae-S from that moment have re-emerged, widely shared among K-pop fans. On stage, he performed “me Gusta Tu” of G-FRIEND, impressing the audience with his pure and sweet voice and showing that he could be next to seasoned idols.
As he sang and danced to “Me Gusta Tu”, the innocent but radiant beauty of Kim Sae-Se-Sign became the center of attention. Her presence on the stage was undeniable and, at the time, she was still under the direction of YG Entertainment, which offered her numerous opportunities to participate in prestigious shows of musical prizes and events.
Reactions mixed by the public
Looking back to these moments, many fans feel a sense of nostalgia and regret for the brilliant career Kim Sae-S once. The young prodigy, who dedicated his childhood to acting, eventually made controversial choices at the age of 25.
While the public sentiment continues to change, the sympathy for Kim Sae-Ron grows, while the criticisms towards Kim Soo-Hyun intensifies. With the controversy still in progress, many are left to question the full extension of their past relationship and its implications.
