Kim Soo Hyun Confirms He Dated Kim Sae Ron After She Became an Adult
In a recent development, Gold Medalist, the agency representing renowned actor Kim Soo Hyun, has confirmed his past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron.
The agency clarified that the two were romantically involved from the summer of 2019 to the autumn of 2020, a period during which Kim Sae Ron was legally an adult. This statement is to dispel circulating rumors suggesting that their relationship began when she was still a minor.
The controversy intensified following allegations made by the Garo Sero Institute on YouTube, which claimed that Kim Soo Hyun had dated Kim Sae Ron while she was underage. In response, Gold Medalist provided detailed clarifications, stating, “Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron dated after she became an adult. It is completely untrue that they were in a relationship when she was a minor.”
The agency further addressed specific claims regarding photographs shared by the institute, noting that the images in question were taken during their relationship in 2019 and 2020, not in 2016 as alleged.
They emphasized that metadata from one particular photo indicated it was captured on December 24, 2019, and that the clothing worn by Kim Sae Ron in the image was released by the brand in June 2019, making it impossible for the photo to have been taken in 2016.
Additionally, the agency addressed speculation surrounding a letter Kim Soo Hyun sent to Kim Sae Ron during his military service.
They explained that it was a casual letter exchanged between close friends and that the phrase “I miss you” was commonly used among friends in the military. The agency dismissed claims that the letter indicated a romantic relationship dating back to 2015 as misleading.
Gold Medalist also expressed concern over Kim Soo Hyun’s current mental state, revealing that he is under extreme stress following the reports. They noted that individuals with cameras have been lurking around the company premises, adding to the stress.
The agency emphasized that, while public figures are subject to scrutiny, the past relationship between two consenting adults is now being distorted into a false narrative.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
