On the afternoon of March 27, Kim Sae-ron’s family held a press conference, releasing affectionate messages allegedly exchanged between their daughter and Kim Soo-hyun in 2016, when the late actress was only 16 years old. The YouTube channel Garo Sero further escalated the controversy by releasing a shocking video allegedly linked to Kim Soo-hyun.
Provocative Lingerie Controversial Video
In the video, two male voices can be heard commenting and laughing in front of a women’s lingerie store on the street. Garo Sero claimed that Kim Soo-hyun sent this video to the underage Kim Sae-ron, allegedly attempting to entice her into wearing similar provocative lingerie.
The video immediately went viral on social media, sparking heated debates. Many questioned its authenticity, as Kim Soo-hyun’s face does not appear in the footage. Additionally, the voices in the video have not been confirmed to belong to the actor. There is also no clear evidence proving whether the video was actually sent to Kim Sae-ron or when it was recorded.
One user on Pann warned, “Releasing a video like this with no proof is dangerous.” Meanwhile, another commenter on theqoo stated, “If it’s not his voice, this is outright defamation.”

In the latest development, Kim Sae-ron’s family held a press conference to disclose shocking messages from 2016. In these messages, the person alleged to be Kim Soo-hyun mentioned kissing and expressed a desire to hold Kim Sae-ron while sleeping. At the time, the actress, born in 2000, was still a minor at 15 years old.
The family also claimed that Kim Sae-ron was once in despair, stating she had been “deceived” and “pressured by a company to repay debt,” which many believe refers to Gold Medalist, Kim Soo-hyun’s agency.
Following the press conference, Kim Soo-hyun’s side remained silent. Previously, his agency, Gold Medalist, announced legal action against Kim Sae-ron’s family, Garo Sero, and a woman claiming to be the late actress’s aunt for spreading a controversial photo of “Kim Soo-hyun washing dishes without pants.” This act was deemed a violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (related to filming and distributing obscene images using cameras).
However, many raised questions about why Kim Soo-hyun did not sue Kim Sae-ron’s family for defamation. In reality, the actor’s reputation has suffered more due to the serious allegations of “dating a minor” rather than the embarrassing dishwashing photo.
