Recently, “Garosero Research Institute” raised allegations about an underage dating relationship between Kim Sae-ron and Kim Soo-hyun. Now, a shocking revelation has surfaced: Kim Sae-ron passed away on Kim Soo-hyun’s birthday, raising further questions about the connection between the two events.
On February 16, Kim Sae-ron was found in cardiac arrest at her residence in Seongdong-gu, Seoul. She was rushed to the hospital but was ultimately pronounced dead. At the time, her tragic passing was believed to be the result of continuous social criticism and financial struggles following her DUI incident. However, the fact that she died on February 16 Kim Soo-hyun’s birthday has led to speculation that her death may carry a deeper meaning beyond depression or financial hardship.
According to evidence presented by Garosero Research Institute, Kim Sae-ron was allegedly in a relationship with Kim Soo-hyun for six years, starting in 2015 when she was 15 years old, while Kim Soo-hyun was 27. A text message reportedly sent by Kim Sae-ron to Kim Soo-hyun on March 19, 2024 was also revealed. In the message, she pleaded, “Oppa, please save me.” She further expressed financial distress, “I received a certified document. They’re suing me… If they ask for 700 million won, I really can’t handle it.”
Kim Sae-ron had reportedly been struggling financially despite her efforts to start anew paying a 20 million won fine for her DUI, changing her name, and even opening a café. If she was indeed under legal pressure from Kim Soo-hyun as some speculate, her emotional burden may have been even greater.
As news of the allegations spread, online communities and social media platforms erupted with outrage. Comments such as “This is truly heartbreaking. They said she wasn’t worth helping, and now look at this”, “He dated a 16-year-old for six years then discarded her over 700 million won?” and “Messing with a minor is always wrong” have received hundreds of upvotes. Some even compared the situation to infamous cases, stating, “If this is true, he’s worse than Ko Young-wook.”
Meanwhile, Kim Soo-hyun’s agency has strongly denied Garosero Research Institute’s claims, calling them “blatant falsehoods” and vowing legal action. However, if the allegations turn out to be true, the Hallyu star could face criminal charges for negligent rape, which would severely damage his reputation.
