Mother of Kim Sae Ron: Statement of Kim Soo Hyun Drama Controversy
The drama controversy involving actress Kim Sae Ron and top actor Kim Soo Hyun has been escalating into a massive scandal. This scandal shocked both the Korean and international hallyu communities, especially when it happened after the tragic death of actress Kim Sae Ron and within the peak popularity of actor Kim Soo Hyun.
Previously, after repeated denials, the representative agency of Kim Soo Hyun, GOLDMEDALIST, finally admitted the actor’s past dating relationship with Kim Sae Ron. However, the company insisted that Kim Soo Hyun dated Kim Sae Ron only after she became an adult.
Following this confirmation, GOLDMEDALIST also released another statement, demanding to meet Kim Sae Ron’s mother.
“We acknowledge the statement made by Ms. Kim Sae Ron’s mother during the broadcast and understand the deep sorrow she is experiencing. Losing a loved one is an immense hardship, and we extend our heartfelt condolences. We also feel great regret for the difficulties Ms. Kim Sae Ron faced.
We recognize her mother’s concerns regarding certain reports about the deceased. As mentioned in our previous statement, Mr. Kim Soo Hyun has also been affected by Gaseyeon’s coverage.
However, there are some differences in perspective, and we believe there may be details she is unaware of. Rather than addressing these matters publicly, we believe it would be more appropriate to discuss them directly and respectfully. We would like to meet with her to provide further explanation.
Ms. Kim Sae Ron’s mother is welcome to contact the GOLDMEDALIST office at any time, and we would appreciate the opportunity to have a conversation with her.”

GOLDMEDALIST believes there has been a misunderstanding between the two parties. Therefore, the company asked Kim Sae Ron’s mother to contact them for a direct discussion.
However, the mother of Kim Sae Ron decided to release her own statement, revealing all the reasons behind the drama controversy involving Kim Soo Hyun.
Reasons Behind Kim Soo Hyun & Kim Sae Ron Drama Controversy: According to the Mother Statement
Based on the statement from the mother of Kim Sae Ron, the family raised this drama controversy involving Kim Soo Hyun because of a series of damaging reports spread by YouTuber Lee Jin Ho and several Korean media outlets.
She expressed frustration over false narratives that painted her daughter in a negative light. These reports accused Kim Sae Ron of gambling, manipulating public sympathy, and spreading false dating rumors. The mother claimed that these stories were not only untrue but also had a devastating effect on her daughter’s mental health.
“Sae Ron never lied to the media. She never ‘indulged in gambling instead of self-reflecting’ or ‘pretended to be working part-time for public sympathy.’
However, malicious YouTubers and media outlets manufactured false reports that drove her into despair.”

She also pointed fingers at GOLDMEDALIST. She was disappointed that the agency tried to distance itself from Kim Sae Ron after her controversies.
The company knew about Kim Sae Ron past dating relationship with Kim Soo Hyun. They also knew the truth about her debt issue. Worse, they also knew how Kim Soo Hyun was related to this issue. These were why Kim Sae Ron had previously posted the photo on her IG story in the first place.
Yet, GOLDMEDALIST still claimed that the photo was mere of actors from the same agency. Worse, the company also claimed to be oblivious to Kim Sae Ron’s intention despite knowing the truth.
Therefore, Kim Sae Ron’s mother believed GOLDMEDALIST failed to protect their artist from misinformation.
With the truth coming out and Kim Soo Hyun’s name appearing publicly, the mother wishes that nobody would tarnish her daughter’s reputation again.
All the Demands from Kim Sae Ron’s Mother and Family
Therefore, mother of Kim Sae Ron eventually released seven key demands in the statement on the drama controversy, directed at Kim Soo Hyun, his agency, and Lee Jin Ho:
- Kim Soo Hyun must officially admit that he was in a relationship with Kim Sae Ron when she was still a minor. Then, he must issue a formal apology.
- GOLDMEDALIST must apologize for denying their relationship for the past three years and for contradicting statements made just days ago.
- GOLDMEDALIST must acknowledge Kim Sae Ron’s role as a founding member of the company. They must also apologize for not recognizing her contributions.
- The agency must also acknowledge and apologize for sending a legal demand requesting ₩700 million (about US$482,000) from Kim Sae Ron.
- The family emphasized that their original statement was focused on addressing false allegations rather than targeting Kim Soo Hyun. However, they demand an official apology from the actor and his agency.
- The family stated that they were forced to release private photos of Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron to counter the false narratives about their dating relationship in the media.
- A legal complaint will be filed against YouTuber Lee Jin Ho for spreading false information and harassing the family during their mourning period.
Kim Sae Ron’s mother also revealed that reporters secretly infiltrated the funeral home, further adding to the family’s distress. She hopes that by bringing attention to these unethical media practices, laws will be put in place to prevent similar injustices in the future.
A Fight for Justice or Another Industry Scandal?
Finally, the mother of Kim Sae Ron made it clear in the statement that her demands were justice, not just for her daughter, but also to change how the media and online platforms handle rumors. However, some still believe that bringing Kim Soo Hyun into the controversy makes the situation more complicated.
And so, this drama controversy between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron now raises crucial questions:
- Should celebrities settle issues in private even when these issues cause rumors damaging their reputations?
- Should entertainment agencies do more to protect their artists from false accusations?
- Can stricter laws help prevent tragedies like this from happening again?
Indeed, the controversy may dive deep into media responsibility, celebrity privacy, and the influence of social media scandals on personal lives. But on the other hand, there is still a grieving mother fighting to protect her daughter’s legacy.
“My only intention is to restore my daughter’s dignity, which was severely damaged by numerous false reports.
I hope to take the necessary steps to legally address the harmful actions of malicious YouTubers whose reckless behavior has caused significant harm and may continue if left unchecked.
The actions of Lee Jin Ho and others have been deeply damaging. However, given the current legal framework, it may be challenging to hold them fully accountable.
As Sae Ron’s mother, my priority is to clear my daughter’s name and honor her legacy as a talented actress.
Also, I hope this tragic situation sparks meaningful legal and institutional reforms, ensuring that media platforms uphold their ethical responsibilities and prevent similar injustices.”
