On Monday, renowned actor Kim Soo-hyun vigorously refuted accusations leveled by a YouTube channel, Hoverlab, which asserted that he had been in a prolonged romantic relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron. Through his agency, Gold Medalist, a statement was issued decisively rejecting the allegations made in the YouTube broadcast. Hoverlab had purportedly claimed that the pair had maintained a six-year-long relationship, commencing when Kim Sae-ron was just 15 years old.
"The assertions regarding Kim Soo-hyun presented in the broadcast are unequivocally false," the agency's statement emphatically declared. "We are considering the most stringent legal measures available."
Notably, Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron were once both represented by Gold Medalist. Kim Sae-ron, who shot to fame with her roles in the acclaimed films "The Man from Nowhere" and "The Neighbors," tragically passed away at her residence last month, aged just 24.
Her promising career suffered a devastating blow following a drunk driving incident in May 2022, where she collided her vehicle into a roadside electrical transformer in southern Seoul while intoxicated.
