POLICE REPORTEDLY CONCLUDE KIM SOO-HYUN DID NOT DATE KIM SAE-RON AS A MINOR

South Korean police have reportedly concluded that allegations claiming actor Kim Soo-hyun dated the late actress Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor were false.

According to reports citing an arrest warrant application reviewed by Korean media, authorities found that some materials used to support the accusations were allegedly manipulated, including AI-fabricated audio and edited digital messages. The claims had circulated online after being raised by a YouTube channel.

Kim Soo-hyun previously acknowledged that he had been in a relationship with Kim Sae-ron, but denied that it happened while she was underage. He also rejected allegations linking him to her death and said he would take legal action against those spreading false claims.

The controversy drew major public attention in South Korea and affected Kim’s brand partnerships, with some companies ending collaborations after the allegations surfaced.

Authorities’ reported findings mark a major development in the case, though public discussion around the issue continues online.
