Recent reports have linked the late actress Kim Sae-ron to South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun, with allegations suggesting a romantic relationship between the two. Speculations intensified after Kim Sae-ron briefly posted, then deleted, a photo of herself with Kim Soo-hyun on Instagram in March 2024 . Following her death in February 2025, further claims emerged, alleging that their relationship began when she was underage.
Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has denied these allegations, stating that their romantic involvement began in 2019 when Kim Sae-ron was of legal age . The agency has also announced plans to take legal action against those spreading false information.
As of now, there is no verified evidence linking Kim Sae-ron to any third-generation K-pop idols. The current reports primarily focus on her alleged relationship with Kim Soo-hyun.
