On March 10, Korean star Kim Soo-hyun became embroiled in the death of Kim Sae-ron. The male god has fallen from grace, having stayed out of the public eye for 21 days. On March 31, he held a press conference trying to explain his relationship with Kim Sae-ron, emphasizing that they started dating after she became an adult in 2019. Despite his tearful attempt, it seems the situation is still unresolved. Kim Sae-ron's family released her audio recordings, stating that she lost her virginity during her middle school's winter break and was filmed in sex photos. Kim Soo-hyun reportedly attempted to pay 4 billion Korean won (approximately 1.235 million Malaysian ringgit) to buy these recordings to destroy evidence but was rejected.
However, on the 21st, Korean news site 'Money Today' reported that Kim Sae-ron was said to be dating a famous idol group member around 2018. Although the deceased's family emphasized that Kim Sae-ron was dating Kim Soo-hyun from 2015 to 2021, others noted that she was actually cheating with another popular male idol, referred to as Mr. A.
The report stated that around 2018, Kim Sae-ron was dating the older Mr. A, and they briefly broke up in early 2019, but reunited from early to mid-2022. This period coincided with the time when Kim Sae-ron had a DUI accident. Reportedly, Mr. A even provided a large sum of money to help Kim Sae-ron, who was in financial distress.
It is said that Kim Sae-ron did not hide this relationship, openly introducing Mr. A as her boyfriend to friends. Although the two broke up at the beginning of 2023, they remained in contact and restored a friendship. Yet, some netizens speculate whether this rumor arose because Kim Soo-hyun's relationship could not be made public, suggesting it might be an attempt to redirect public opinion by Kim Soo-hyun.
