Recently, on March 10, the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute drew widespread attention by releasing a video titled “Kim Soo-hyun Drove Kim Sae-ron to Her Death.” In the video, Kim Se-ui, the channel’s representative, claimed to have spoken with Kim Sae-ron’s family. He further alleged that the actress had been in a six-year relationship with Kim Soo-hyun, starting when she was still a minor. These claims quickly spread across social media, fueling heated discussions and debates.
Shortly after the video surfaced, netizens began revisiting Kim Soo-hyun’s past remarks about relationships with younger partners. His previous comments, which had largely gone unnoticed at the time, are now being scrutinized in a new light.

Marriage Plan + Kindergarten Joke
During a press conference for the movie Secretly, Greatly, Kim Soo-hyun candidly shared his thoughts on marriage. He stated, “Marriage might have to be postponed a little. I once thought I would marry at 36, but now I think that plan is difficult to achieve. Maybe I will start a family at 41. At that time, I might meet a 21-year-old girl.” Hearing this, the MC joked about how kindergarten students in the country will be excited to hear such a news, to which Kim Soo-hyun laughed along.
At the time, his remarks were widely perceived as lighthearted and hypothetical. Many fans dismissed them as a casual joke rather than a serious statement about his future plans. However, with the latest controversy, these words have resurfaced and sparked new discussions.
Topics related to the kindergarten student remark, in particular, has garnered significant interest, with one post on Korean forum Pann surpassing 148,000 views. The reactions to this was rather scathing, with netizens leaving comments such as “This guy is really crazy… You shouldn’t ignore those kinds of jokes”, “People are really so forgiving to male celebrities”, and “I can’t believed these things were just buried and passed over.”
Controversy Action at School
Kim Soo-hyun himself once admitted to having a rebellious past during his appearance on SBS E!’s “Andy and Seo Ah’s K-STAR News” in 2014. According to the actor at the time, when he was in 11th grade, he folded a paper airplane and set fire to its tip. Unfortunately, the flames spread to a flower bed at school, causing a fire. As a result, he was dragged into the teacher’s office and received more than 300 strikes, despite bowing his head and apologizing. This revelation about Kim Soo Hyun’s rebellious past stirred up online discussions for a long time.
Ideal Partner’s Requirements
In another interview, Kim Soo-hyun also shared what he envisioned in a future spouse. He expressed that his ideal partner should be “willing to sacrifice everything for me, think only of me, never interfere with my work, and always be by my side when I need her.”
While these comments were previously taken lightly, they are now being reexamined as discussions surrounding his past relationships continue to gain momentum.
