All about Soo-hyun’s row
Soo-hyun found himself amid controversy over his relationship with Sae-ron, who was found dead in February this year. Kim, who was 24 years old, was found dead at her home. Her career had suffered since the drunk driving incident, and local media reported that she was in debt and working part-time jobs to pay it off. Soo-hyun has been accused of dating Sae-ron when she was underage in a YouTube expose, citing testimonies from her relatives.
Gold Medalist said Sae-ron owed the company around 0.7 billion won ($483,759.50) in damages and penalties as a result of the drunk driving case. In 2024, Sae-ron posted a photo of her with Soo-hyun, which was quickly deleted, prompting speculation that the two were a couple.
