In the video, he firmly denied defending Kim Soo Hyun, stating that claims of his involvement are "completely untrue".

However, he disputed the timeline of their relationship shared by Garosero Research Institute through Kim Sae Ron's family.

Lee Jin Ho alleges Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in different relationships in 2019

Lee Jin Ho once again refuted the allegations that they began dating in 2015, as Kim Sae Ron's family has claimed. He looked at the metadata from Kim Sae Ron¡¯s photos and said it shows they were together much later¡ªafter she was no longer underage.

He also revealed that in 2019, both Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in separate relationships. In fact, he said that Kim Soo Hyun had been in a long-term relationship from 2016 to 2019, which the late actress was aware of.

Lee also talked about the so-called ¡°chicken soup¡± date in 2018. He said the two were just having a meal while Soo Hyun was on military leave, and Kim Sae Ron knew he had a girlfriend at the time.

He also denied claims that Kim Soo Hyun cheated on Kim Sae Ron. Lee pointed out that Kim Sae Ron also had a boyfriend during the time she claimed to be dating Soo Hyun, implying she could have been the one who cheated on the actor.

YouTuber shares Kim Sae Ron's 2019 video with another man

The former journalist also shared footage showing a woman, presumed to be Kim Sae Ron, holding hands and kissing another man on the streets of Seoul. The clip, dating back to May 27, 2019, was reportedly taken near Nonhyeon and Eonju stations and is grainy and low-resolution, making it hard to clearly identify the people in it. Still, Lee pointed out that the metadata attached to the video confirms both the date and the location. He claimed that the affectionate moment was captured by a close acquaintance of Kim Soo Hyun and has now been shared with Gold Medalist.
