Kim Soo-hyun Embroiled in Controversy Over Late Actress Kim Sae-ron's Allegations
The conflict between Kim Soo-hyun's company and the late Kim Sae-ron's family continues to escalate, with the focal point being the 700 million won compensation issue. The situation began to unfold when a Korean YouTube channel, "Horizontal and Vertical Institute," revealed that Kim Sae-ron's family claimed she had been in a relationship with Kim Soo-hyun since she was 15 years old, which is below the age of consent. The family also alleged that Kim Soo-hyun pursued her for six years, and due to his demands for debt repayment, she suffered psychological distress, ultimately leading to her decision to end her life.

Kim Soo-hyun's company initially denied the allegations, stating that the two only dated from the summer of 2019 to the autumn of 2020, after Kim Sae-ron had reached adulthood. However, the company later acknowledged the relationship, but disputed the claims of psychological distress and debt repayment. The company asserted that Kim Soo-hyun had helped Kim Sae-ron with her debt and that the issue had been resolved. New revelations have emerged in the dispute, shedding light on the contentious interactions between the two parties. According to Kim Sae-ron's family, Kim Soo-hyun's company had demanded that she repay 700 million Korean won within a year, threatening to take legal action if the debt was not settled.
This new information raises questions about the motives behind Kim Soo-hyun's company's actions and whether they were transparent in their dealings with Kim Sae-ron. The fact that Kim Sae-ron was not only blocked from making a comeback but also lost her job at a coffee shop suggests that she was facing significant pressure and obstacles, and the demand for repayment may have been just one aspect of a broader campaign to stifle her career. As the public continues to rally around Kim Sae-ron, Kim Soo-hyun's company faces growing scrutiny and criticism for their handling of the situation.

The incident has sparked a heated debate about the ethics of publicly disclosing personal information and the responsibility of celebrities to protect their fans. The Korean media has faced criticism for their handling of the situation, with some outlets initially condemning Kim Soo-hyun and later shifting their focus to criticize Kim Sae-ron's family for disclosing private information. The public is left to ponder the complexities of the situation, with many calling for a more nuanced understanding of the events and the parties involved. The public's reaction is a mix of outrage, sympathy, and speculative discourse, with many expressing dissatisfaction with how the situation has been handled, while others focus on the human aspect, expressing sorrow for what could have been.
Social media platforms are abuzz with discussions about the incident, with discussions speculating about the potential outcome for those involved, such as a temporary withdrawal from public life. The speculation about potential consequences for those involved adds another layer to the public's response, indicating a deep engagement with the issue. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the incident will impact the careers of those involved and the broader Korean entertainment industry.
