Kim Soo-hyun’s Chaos Grows, More A-List Celebrities Entangled in Explosive Scandal

The controversy surrounding Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron continues to escalate, with new shocking allegations surfacing during a recent livestream by the Garo Sero Research Institute on March 29. Though none of the claims have been verified, the speculation has taken over Korean online communities, dragging in big names like Cha Eun-woo and a host of A-list actresses.

Allegations of Infidelity During Relationship With Kim Sae-ron

According to Garo Sero, Kim Soo-hyun allegedly had an affair with a famous actress during the time he was romantically involved with Kim Sae-ron. The woman’s identity has not been revealed, but it was claimed she is now married to another high-profile actor. The institute cited a past comment from a close friend of Kim Sae-ron, who said the actress often felt disheartened due to Kim Soo-hyun having “many concubines” during their six-year relationship.

While many netizens remain skeptical of these one-sided claims, others have begun speculating on the actress’s identity, further fueling the online frenzy.

Cha Eun-woo Called Out for Skipping Kim Sae-ron’s Funeral

Garo Sero also publicly criticized Cha Eun-woo for allegedly not attending Kim Sae-ron’s funeral, despite the actress being close to ASTRO members, including the late Moonbin. They questioned Cha Eun-woo’s absence, stirring backlash among fans and netizens alike.

The institute also accused Cha Eun-woo’s manager of working with Dispatch to damage Kim Sae-ron’s public image. According to their claim, the manager pressured Kim Sae-ron’s family to cut ties with Kim Soo-hyun, and shortly after, Dispatch published gambling photos of Kim Sae-ron, leading to intense criticism. Garo Sero suggested that both Cha Eun-woo and his manager should be held accountable for their alleged actions.

Why Did Top Stars Appear in “Real”?

Adding more fuel to the fire, Garo Sero questioned the star-studded yet meaningless cameo appearances in Kim Soo-hyun’s 2017 film “Real.” Despite being widely panned as a “trash film,” “Real” featured major stars like Suzy, IU, Ahn So-hee, Minha, Kyungri, and Dasom, yet all played roles with no dialogue and just a few seconds of screen time.

• Suzy reportedly spent six hours in makeup for a tattoo artist role, only to appear for five seconds.
• IU appeared as a silent award show receptionist.
• Ahn So-hee played a maid with just three seconds of screen time.
• Minha and Kyungri appeared for 2–4 seconds each.
• Dasom’s nurse character was barely visible on screen.

Garo Sero speculated that these actresses may have agreed to appear due to personal relationships or professional loyalty to Kim Soo-hyun, rather than for artistic or career-driven reasons.

Silence From Kim Soo-hyun Amid Mounting Pressure

As of now, Kim Soo-hyun has remained silent in the face of growing calls from fans and media alike to hold a press conference and directly address the controversies, including rumors of dating a minor, pressuring the late Sulli into filming nude scenes, and now, alleged infidelity.

The mounting allegations and unanswered questions are not only shaking Kim Soo-hyun’s once-pristine image, but also putting intense public scrutiny on those connected to him.
