The ongoing controversy surrounding Kim Soo Hyun and his rumoured past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron has intensified as old photos from 2017, allegedly taken by sasaeng fans (obsessive stalkers), resurfaced online. These images have reignited speculation about their relationship timeline, especially with Kim Soo Hyun facing mounting scrutiny.
A recent online post brought back photos and videos claimed to be from a sasaeng account dedicated to Kim Sae Ron. The uploader mentioned that the account was active for years before going dormant in 2020. What caught netizens' attention were the hashtags like #saeroncouple, hinting at a possible romantic link between Kim Sae Ron and an unidentified man in the images.

The photos, reportedly taken in an apartment hallway where Kim Sae Ron lived at the time, show her standing casually near a door. Beside her is a man in a red jacket, his face turned away from the camera, making his identity unclear. Some netizens believe the man is Kim Soo Hyun, citing a similar red jacket he once wore in an advertisement. Others argue the blurry images offer no solid proof.
The resurfacing of these photos has sparked heated debates. Many believe that if the man is indeed Kim Soo Hyun, it could complicate his current situation. The original controversy began when rumours emerged about his alleged relationship with Kim Sae Ron starting in 2015, when she was just 15 years old. Her family claimed the two had been involved for years, while Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, GOLDMEDALIST, denied these allegations, insisting their relationship only began in 2019 — after she reached adulthood.
With these new images adding fuel to the fire, public opinion remains divided. While some defend Kim Soo Hyun, others feel the photos raise new questions about the timeline of their relationship. The actor’s agency has yet to release an updated statement addressing this latest wave of speculation.
