Actor Kim Soo-hyun’s legal team has released a series of letters he wrote during his military service in an effort to counter allegations that he was romantically involved with the late actress Kim Sae-ron when she was underage. The move came amid renewed allegations that Kim had a relationship with Kim Sae-ron, who was a minor at the time. Ko said the controversy began after a YouTube channel aired a video on March 10, 2025, citing a KakaoTalk message Kim Sae-ron allegedly sent a friend a year earlier, on March 25, 2024. In a follow-up statement on Oct. 2, Ko said the letters were not intended merely to show that Kim had a girlfriend at the time. The attorney reiterated that the relationship between Kim and Kim Sae-ron was “a normal, professional interaction” and that “all evidence supports this — with nothing to indicate otherwise.”This article from Xportsnews is adapted by a generative AI system and edited by The Korea Times.
