Kim Soo Hyun accuses Kim Sae Ron's family of pushing her to death: 'You threatened her with money, so you are the murderer'

Kim Soo Hyun has denied the allegations from Kim Sae Ron's family, accusing them of pressuring her and holding them responsible for her death. He vows to clear his name through legal action and prove the truth behind the alleged fabricated claims.

Kim Soo Hyun has broken his silence on the allegations levelled against him by Kim Sae Ron's family. On March 31, 2025, the actor held a press conference, addressing the media for the first time since the tragic passing of his former girlfriend.

During the emotional session, the Queen of Tears actor denied dating Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor and admitted to dating her for a year after she reached legal age. He also held her family responsible for her death, accusing them of making her work while she was still a minor.

Kim Soo Hyun breaks down during his press conference

Kim Soo Hyun holds Kim Sae Ron's family accountable for her death

"I feel like IĄŻm being accused of something I didnĄŻt do," Kim Soo Hyun said, tearing up during the conference. "But the family of the late actor, just because I am the ex-boyfriend of the late actor, is asserting that I pushed her to death. They are demanding that I confess to something that I didn't do. [They said] you played with her even from when she was a minor. You threatened her with money. So you are a murderer."

The actor also reflected on the time he spent with Kim Sae Ron, explaining the difficulties he faced during the aftermath of her DUI incident. "We were both well-known actors, and when we were together in the agency, we knew each other. I couldnĄŻt contact her easily when the DUI incident happened," he said. "I heard that the former CEO of the agency was having a hard time because of me when that happened, but I knew that Kim Sae Ron was involved with someone else, so I was very careful about contacting her."

Kim Soo Hyun denies that Gold Medalist forced Kim Sae Ron to repay debt

Kim Soo Hyun then addressed the recent claims made by Kim Sae RonĄŻs family, particularly the leaked phone calls and KakaoTalk messages. "The family of the deceased released a phone call recording where they tried to make it sound like the agency pressured her by sending a second debt repayment letter. But the phone call they revealed was from a year ago, and the conversation was entirely different," he explained.

He also questioned alleged texts leaked by the late actress's family. "This KakaoTalk message has so many things wrong that it makes me question whether [Kim Sae Ron] really wrote it. She got my and her age difference wrong, as well as the agency's name and contract period," Kim Soo Hyun clarified. "She was only contracted as an actor at our agency and had no involvement in casting or visual directing."

Kim Soo Hyun refuses the allegations of grooming.

Kim Soo Hyun also slammed Kim Sae Ron's family for portraying him as a predator and accusing him of grooming Kim Sae Ron through KakaoTalk chats. "They are framing me as a paedophile, accusing me of grooming her based on chats from 2016," he said. "But IĄŻve requested a thorough analysis of the KakaoTalk chats from 2016, 2018, and this year. Our agency has proven that the chats from 2016 and 2018 were from different people. ThereĄŻs evidence that these photos and videos, along with the KakaoTalk messages, have been manipulated."

Actor threatens legal actions

Kim Soo Hyun expressed his intention to clear his name and ensure that the truth comes to light. "I will take any criticism for my choices. But that doesnĄŻt mean everything becomes fact. I will take action to thoroughly investigate the evidence that the family of the deceased is presenting as if itĄŻs all verified," he asserted. "If everything they claim is true, I hope it can be verified legally after a thorough investigation."

He also shared his fear of the ongoing pressure and the toll it has taken on him. "I have people who depend on me, and I see them suffering every day. IĄŻm scared of what they will reveal next and distort to make me look like a killer."

'I will not ask for trust; I will prove it.'

Kim Soo Hyun concluded his statement by reaffirming his commitment to proving his innocence. "I will not ask for trust; I will prove it," he said firmly. "If I surrender to such pressure and accept something false as the truth, I would be betraying not only myself but all of those who have believed in me and supported me. I cannot live with that. No matter how much I wear a mask as a celebrity, I will not betray them."

"IĄŻve done what IĄŻve done. I will take any criticism for that," he added. "But the things I havenĄŻt done, I havenĄŻt done. I want to clear my name. I will not ask for trust; I will prove it."

How did it all begin?

The controversy began on March 10 when Kim Sae Ron's family, through the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute, accused Kim Soo Hyun of dating Kim Sae Ron when she was just 15, while he was 27. In a phone call, Kim Sae Ron's alleged aunt also blamed the actor and his agency, Gold Medalist, for pushing her to take her own life.

In response, Kim Soo Hyun's agency denied the allegations of a relationship with a minor but confirmed they dated for a year once Kim Sae Ron reached legal age.

Following this, Kim Sae Ron's family held a press conference, releasing 'restructured' messages exchanged between the former couple from 2016 to 2018 that appeared to support the minor relationship claims. Kim Soo Hyun has since questioned the authenticity of these messages. Previously, Garosero had also released intimate photos reportedly taken in 2016.

Meanwhile, the Seoul Police have launched an investigation into defamation claims against members of Kim Sae Ron's family and Garosero.

Kim Sae Ron tragically died by suicide on February 16, on Kim Soo HyunĄŻs birthday. She was known for her roles in Bloodhounds, A Brand New Life, A Girl at My Door, and Manhole, among others.
