Kim Soo-hyun Controversy: Actor Denies Underage Relationship Allegations with Late Kim Sae-ron, Files 12 Billion Won Lawsuit
(Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – April 6, 2025)
One of South Korea’s most beloved actors, Kim Soo-hyun, is at the center of a major controversy that has shaken the K-entertainment world. Allegations have emerged involving the late actress Kim Sae-ron, claiming the two were romantically involved while she was still underage.
The accusations have sparked heated debates online and prompted serious legal action.
Kim Soo-hyun’s Emotional Denial
In a heartfelt press conference held on March 31, Kim Soo-hyun publicly addressed the rumors. The actor strongly denied any romantic relationship with Kim Sae-ron during her time as a minor. While he did acknowledge a relationship, he emphasized that it only began after she reached the legal age of consent in South Korea.
His agency, Gold Medalist, stood firmly by his side, backing the actor’s statements and vowing to take legal measures to protect his reputation.
12 Billion Won Lawsuit Filed
Following the press conference, Kim Soo-hyun and his agency took swift legal action. They have filed a massive 12 billion won (approx. $8.15 million USD) lawsuit for defamation and invasion of privacy.
Targets of the lawsuit include:
-
The family of the late Kim Sae-ron
-
HoverLab, a controversial YouTube channel that has been actively spreading the allegations
It’s reported that HoverLab not only shared the claims but also allegedly distributed private photos and videos, which Kim Soo-hyun's team believes were used to tarnish his image.
Criminal Complaints & Stalking Allegations
But the legal response doesn’t stop there. In addition to the civil suit, a criminal complaint has been filed, escalating the seriousness of the case. Reports suggest that a separate stalking-related lawsuit has also been initiated against the operator of HoverLab.
These multiple legal fronts signal how seriously Kim Soo-hyun is taking the situation, aiming to clear his name and hold the sources of the rumors accountable.
A Divided Public and Ongoing Scrutiny
This controversy has sparked intense conversation across Korean and international social media platforms. While some fans express unwavering support for the actor, others await further evidence before forming opinions. The public's reaction remains divided, and interest in the outcome of these lawsuits continues to grow.
What’s Next?
As this high-profile legal battle unfolds, all eyes are on the courts and the individuals involved. The Kim Soo-hyun vs. HoverLab case is shaping up to be a defining moment in how online rumors, celebrity privacy, and digital defamation are handled in South Korea.
