Kim Soo-hyun’s Agency Denies Dating Rumors With Kim Sae-ron
In recent developments, Gold Medalist, the agency representing actor Kim Soo-hyun, has addressed rumors concerning his alleged romantic involvement with the late actress Kim Sae-ron. These speculations arose following the release of certain materials by Kim Sae-ron’s family, suggesting a past relationship between the two actors.
The controversy began when Kim Sae-ron’s family provided a YouTube channel, Hoverlab, with content implying that Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron had been in a romantic relationship starting when she was a minor.
This included a text message dated March 19, 2024, in which Kim Sae-ron appeared to be seeking financial assistance from Kim Soo-hyun, expressing her inability to repay a debt of 700 million won (approximately $525,000) immediately and requesting more time. Additionally, a photograph depicting the two in an intimate pose was shared.
Gold Medalist Statement
In light of these allegations, Gold Medalist issued a firm denial, stating that the claims made by Hoverlab regarding Kim Soo-hyun are unequivocally false. The agency emphasized that the assertions of a romantic relationship between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron starting from when she was 15 are baseless.
Furthermore, Gold Medalist expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Kim Sae-ron and condemned the spread of such false information.
This is not the first time rumors have circulated regarding Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron. In March 2024, Kim Sae-ron briefly posted, then deleted, a photo of herself with Kim Soo-hyun on social media, which led to dating rumors.
At that time, Gold Medalist clarified that the photo was taken in the past when both actors were under the same management and denied any romantic involvement. The agency also stated that they were unaware of Kim Sae-ron’s intentions behind posting the photo.
Additionally, following Kim Sae-ron’s involvement in a DUI incident in May 2022, Gold Medalist chose not to renew her contract, leading to her departure from the agency.
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.’”
