In Part 1, we unraveled the origins of Kim Soo Hyun’s most controversial scandal, tracing the claims of his alleged relationship with Kim Sae Ron. Since then, the drama has only escalated, with leaked images, conflicting statements, and mounting public scrutiny.
Let’s dive deeper into the latest revelations that have kept the internet buzzing:
1. Emergence of Compromising Photographs
One of the biggest bombshells in this ongoing saga? Leaked photos that prove Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were romantically involved.

- The most viral image shows Kim Soo Hyun partially nude in a kitchen, and eagle-eyed netizens wasted no time comparing it to Kim Sae Ron’s past home décor that appeared on a variety show.
- Other images making the rounds suggest something more than just friendship—like one where he appears to be kissing Kim Sae Ron on the cheek.
- And then, there are handwritten letters, reportedly from Kim Soo Hyun during his military service, that supposedly add even more weight to the dating rumors.

2. Agency’s Response and Admission
Initially, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, came out swinging with outright denials. But after days of intense speculation, they shifted gears and admitted to Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron having a relationship—just not when she was underage.
Their statement:
“Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship between the summer of 2019 and the fall of 2020. Any claims suggesting otherwise are entirely false.”
Sure, they cleared up the timeline technically, but skepticism lingers. With new claims popping up left and right, this hardly feels like the final word.
3. Reactions from Kim Sae Ron’s Family
If anyone is not buying Gold Medalist’s version of events, it’s Kim Sae Ron’s family.
- Her mother is demanding an official apology from Kim Soo Hyun, claiming the agency’s timeline is completely fabricated.
- She’s even threatened to drop more “evidence” if he doesn’t take responsibility.
- Now, the internet is wondering—what else does she have up her sleeve? Could there be text messages, unseen photos, or something even bigger?

4. Professional Repercussions for Kim Soo Hyun
And now, the real-world consequences are starting to hit Kim Soo Hyun’s career:
- Luxury brand Prada said “no thanks” and dropped Kim Soo Hyun from his ambassadorship after just three months.
- Some production companies have pressed pause on projects he was set to star in, leading to whispers of contract cancellations.
- Of course, his most loyal fans are still backing him, but the majority of the internet is against him.
This saga feels far from over, and with more leaks, legal threats, and career consequences looming, I doubt this is the last update we’ll see.
