An Old Comment of Actor Kim Soo Hyun Sparks New Discussions
As actor Kim Soo Hyun faces growing controversy over alleged past ties with the late Kim Sae Ron, an old interview from 2013 has resurfaced, stirring debate online. In the interview, Kim Soo Hyun jokingly revealed his future marriage plans, stating that he envisioned himself marrying at 41 years old to a 21-year-old woman. While this remark was originally received as a lighthearted joke, recent events have caused netizens to re-examine his past statements with a more critical eye.
Kim Soo Hyun’s 2013 Marriage Plan
During a showcase for his film “Secretly, Greatly” on April 30, 2013, Kim Soo Hyun was asked about his ideal age for marriage. He responded:
“When I was 25, I made a life plan. I originally thought I’d get married at 36, but I don’t think that’s going to happen.”He then added:
“Now, I’m thinking about getting married at 41 to a 21-year-old.”At the time, the comment was met with cheers from female fans and playful banter from the event’s host, who joked, “Even kindergarteners across the country will be excited after hearing this.”
However, in the wake of recent allegations, this statement has resurfaced, fueling online discussions about Kim Soo Hyun’s past relationships and attitudes toward age gaps in dating.
The Growing Controversy
On March 10, 2025, YouTube channel GaroSaero Research Institute claimed that Kim Soo Hyun dated Kim Sae Ron for six years, starting when she was 15 years old and he was 27. The video, which allegedly included interviews with Kim Sae Ron’s family, quickly went viral.
In response, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, strongly denied the claims, calling them “completely false” and vowing to take legal action against those spreading misinformation.
The Tragic Connection Between Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun
The rumors took an even more dramatic turn when netizens noticed a shocking coincidence Kim Sae Ron passed away on Kim Soo Hyun’s birthday, February 16, 2025. This led many to speculate about a deeper connection between the two, despite Kim Soo Hyun’s team denying any romantic involvement.
Adding to the complexity, Kim Sae Ron was once under Gold Medalist, the company co-founded by Kim Soo Hyun. After her 2022 DUI scandal, she was dropped from the agency and later struggled with financial difficulties. Reports revealed that she still owed 700 million KRW (~$525,000) to Gold Medalist.
Past Comments Under New Scrutiny
With the resurfacing of Kim Soo Hyun’s old marriage remark, netizens are drawing parallels between his past statements and the current controversy. While some argue that his 2013 comment was just a joke, others question whether it reflects a pattern in his preferences.
As Kim Soo Hyun prepares for legal battles against false allegations, public opinion remains divided. Whether this controversy will fade or escalate further depends on the developments in the coming days.
