Kim Soo Hyun's agency once again denies claims about his alleged relationship with the late Kim Sae Ron during her teenage years, despite new allegations surfacing.
On March 12th KST, Gold Medalist, his agency, reiterated, "Our stance remains consistent with our initial statement."
The response comes after the Garo Sero Institute's (Gaseyeon) broadcast on March 11th, in which additional materials reportedly from Kim Sae Ron's family were shared. Gaseyeon showcased purported text messages and photos, alleging they were exchanged between Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun.
One of the messages in question allegedly stated:
"I have received a legal notice about a lawsuit. They mentioned that there's ample time, so I've been preparing for my comeback, intending to repay the money gradually using a percentage from each project. It's not that I'm unwilling to pay – I'm just unable to provide the full ₩700 million (around $480,000) immediately. I'm not trying to avoid it; I simply can't do it now. Must we resort to a lawsuit? Please, let me live. I implore you, grant me more time."
Previously, Gold Medalist reacted to Gaseyeon's accusations by asserting:
"The accusations against Kim Soo Hyun are entirely baseless. This is merely a continuation of the cyberbullying the late Kim Sae Ron faced during her lifetime."
As the controversy lingers, Kim Soo Hyun's agency remains steadfast in refuting the allegations.
