Amid Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron controversy, a private picture of the Queen of Tears actor is going viral on the internet. The explicit picture has left people divided.

The resurfacing of journalist Kim Yong Ho’s past reports on Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron’s alleged relationship, along with new claims from Kim Sae Ron’s mother, adds fuel to the ongoing controversy.

Popular South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun, who is also said to be the highest-paid actor, has landed himself under the scanner over his past relationship with late actress Kim Sae-ron when she was a 'minor'.

South Korean star Kim Soo-hyun is currently facing backlash following allegations that he was in a six-year-long relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron. The relationship reportedly started when she was 15 and he was 27 and ended in 2021.

A private and partially explicit photo of South Korean actor Kim Soo Hyun has gone viral online, intensifying the ongoing controversy surrounding his past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron.

Kim Sae-Ron died by suicide at her residence in Seoul on February 16, coinciding with ex-boyfriend Kim Soo-Hyun's birthday.

Kim Soo Hyun's agency issued a statement on Mar. 14 confirming that the Korean actor had indeed been in a relationship with late actress Kim Sae Ron. But it denied that she had been a minor at the time.

Kim Sae Ron’s death in February 2025 has once again brought attention to rumours about her relationship with Kim Soo Hyun. These claims were first reported by journalist Kim Yong Ho before his death.

Kim Sae Ron's mother has broken her silence on her daughter's dating controversy with actor Kim Soo Hyun. While the family accused Kim Soo Hyun of dating Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor (15), the actor's agency, Gold Medalist, released a statement clarifying that the romantic relationship began only after Kim Sae Ron became an adult.
