Top Stars Suspected as Kim Soo-hyun’s “Concubines,” Netizens Speculate Amid Cheating Scandal
On March 25, the explosive claims were made public during a private conversation involving A, an acquaintance of Kim Sae-ron; B, a YouTuber; and C, a forensic expert. The meeting reportedly took place at A’s business, where the trio discussed what they described as Kim Soo-hyun’s emotional involvement in the late actress’s life and passing. The controversy surrounding actor Kim Soo-hyun has escalated after A alleged that he was unfaithful during their relationship, naming two former girl group idols, now actresses, as part of the scandal.
A, who arranged Kim Sae-ron’s funeral and was considered one of her closest companions, stated, “Kim Sae-ron had a lot of resentment toward Kim Soo-hyun. She said, ‘It was exhausting trying to maintain the position of queen or empress for six years.’ She said she endured everything because they promised to get married, even though he brought in so many ‘concubines.’ There were even worse things she told me.”
To that, C replied, “Then D and E were all concubines too,” to which A confirmed, “That’s right.”
Both D and E, though unnamed, are known to the public as former top-tier girl group members and currently active actresses. One of them, referred to as D, has been romantically linked to Kim Soo-hyun multiple times in the past. Rumors once swirled that Kim Soo-hyun supported her agency transfer and that the two were preparing for marriage. At the time, KeyEast, Kim Soo-hyun’s former agency, firmly denied the allegations and also threatened legal action.
The scandal involving dating and grooming allegations between Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron is now heading to court. Kim Sae-ron’s family has filed a defamation lawsuit against online content creators accused of spreading harmful rumors about her. In retaliation, one of the YouTubers has reportedly filed a countersuit against Kim Sae-ron’s aunt, who is affiliated with the Garo Sero Research Institute and has allegedly exposed damaging details about him.
As legal proceedings unfold, key questions, such as the true start of Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron’s relationship and the nature of their breakup, are expected to come to light. Amid the mounting controversy, Kim Sae-ron’s representatives continued to announce a press conference scheduled for March 27 at 1:30 PM KST in Seocho-gu, Seoul.
However, the public aftermath has taken a troubling turn. With speculation running wild, the accusations have resurrected old dating rumors, leading to the unfair naming and shaming of unrelated celebrities. The two unnamed women are now being referred to online as “Kim Soo-hyun’s concubines,” drawing backlash from netizens and prompting concerns over serious secondary harm.
