MORE Evidence of Kim Soo Hyun & Kim Sae Ron Underage Dating Revealed

Following the previous accusations from ex-boyfriend and clarification from ex-husband of Kim Sae Ron, more evidence is finally out on the underage dating controversy involving Kim Soo Hyun.

On March 27, 2025, the representative lawyer Bu Ji Seok of Kim Sae Ron’s bereaved family held a press conference on March 27, 2025 in Seoul. On behalf of the family, the lawyer released several captures of chat messages between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron, which they exchanged in 2016.

At the time, Kim Sae Ron was approximately 15 to 16, while Kim Soo Hyun was around 28 years old. Therefore, the lawyer once again declared that the dating relationship between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron occurred when the actress was still underage.

In addition to the chat messages, HOVERLAB (Garosero Institute) then posted another video, accusing Kim Soo Hyun of sending suggestive video to the underage Kim Sae Ron. This video then fueled the previous child grooming accusation, triggering the public’s fury against the actor.

Here’s all the new evidence allegedly proving Kim Soo Hyun dating relationship with Kim Sae Ron when she was underage.

1. Kim Soo Hyun Allegedly Asked Kim Sae Ron for Real Kisses

The first chat message dates back to June 2016, just a month before Kim Sae Ron’s 16th birthday. After a series of messages, Kim Sae Ron sent a kissing emoji to Kim Soo Hyun via chat.

Then, the 28-year-old Kim Soo Hyun replied, asking her to “do it for real later” and allegedly tricking her into doing it by asking permission.

2. Kim Soo Hyun Says “I Miss You” to Kim Sae Ron

Secondly, when Kim Soo Hyun said he missed Kim Sae Ron when the underage actress asked him in June 2016—does it mean they had really been dating at the time?

3. Alleged Sexually Suggestive Request to Kim Sae Ron

The next message exchange—still in June 2016—was even more unexpected. This time, Kim Soo Hyun reportedly delivered suggestive messages to the underage Kim Sae Ron.

As a 28-year-old man at the time, he mentioned hugs and kisses to the 16-year-old girl. And even worse, Kim Soo Hyun was even allegedly asking how long he would have to wait before Kim Sae Ron let him be physically intimate with her.

4. Kim Sae Ron’s Underage Photo in Kim Soo Hyun’s Message: “She Was So Young!”

As if the above chats were not enough, HOVERLAB (Garosero) released more screenshots of chat exchange between the two. This time, Kim Soo Hyun sent a photo of the allegedly underage Kim Sae Ron in the chat, revealing how young she was at the time.

5. Kim Sae Ron’s Letter Confirming the Dating Relationship

Along with the chat messages, lawyer Bu Ji Seok also revealed Kim Sae Ron’s letter in 2024. At the time, Kim Sae Ron was planning on sending the letter to Kim Soo Hyun. However, she was unable to do it because of GOLDMEDALIST’s legal warnings.

In her final letter to Kim Soo Hyun, Kim Sae Ron confirmed that she had been dating Kim Soo Hyun for 5 to 6 years. She also mentioned that Kim Soo Hyun was her first and last love.

“Hey, it’s Ronnie. How have you been?

I wanted to reach out and clear up any misunderstandings between us.

I’ve been trying to get in touch with someone at the agency, but no one will respond, and honestly, I’m scared about the lawsuit. That’s why I posted the picture—I just wanted the company to notice me. But I realize now that it caused you trouble, and for that, I’m really sorry.

Since I left the agency, I’ve felt uncomfortable around the GOLD MEDALIST staff. No one would answer when I tried to talk to them. I never meant to bother you, and I truly want you to be happy. We were together for five or six years—you were my first love and my last. So it hurts that you’re avoiding me like everything we shared meant nothing.

I don’t want anything more than for us to stay friends. That’s all. We can still support each other from a distance. But do you really hate me that much? Why? If this letter never reaches you, then I guess that’s it for us, for good. And that thought makes me really sad.

I won’t interfere in your life anymore, I promise. Just… please don’t hate me. I hope one day I get to see your smile again. Here’s my number—if you read this, call me. I have no other way to express how I really feel. I just hope you’re the one reading this and not Ro Be.

I’ll always root for you—your work, your happiness, everything. I just hope you don’t look back on what we had in a negative way.

Take care.”

6. Kim Soo Hyun Allegedly Sent Lingerie Video to Kim Sae Ron

Finally, HOVERLAB released a video that Kim Soo Hyun had allegedly sent to the underage Kim Sae Ron during their dating relationship.

The video was likely from during his trip to France. In it, Kim Soo Hyun and someone he was with were checking out mannequins dressed in lingerie. It looked like he was comparing the mannequin’s body to Korean women.

Many believed that Kim Soo Hyun sent the message to Kim Sae Ron as a message. The alleged hidden message behind this video was for Kim Sae Ron to maintain her body proportion.

So, the public considered this a form of grooming.

KSH: “Hello. This is Kim YouTuber. Right now, I’m in front of some bra and panties. These are, well…they don’t have these kinds in Korea, right?”
Friend: “See through [lingerie]? Yes, they do.”
KSH: “No, I mean the bodies. Ones with such proportions, ones as hot as these. How can [Korean women] take after them?”
KSH: “Let me take a look. Well, it’s possible since models have to maintain their figure.”
