Kim Soo Hyun is reportedly going through extreme emotional distress following the controversy surrounding his alleged past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron. According to sources from MBC’s show Good Day, the actor is struggling with grief, resentment, and overwhelming stress as accusations continue to surface.
The controversy took a darker turn when Kim Sae Ron’s family, alongside the YouTube channel Garoseoro Research Institute, accused Kim Soo Hyun and his agency, GOLDMEDALIST, of contributing to the young actress's tragic passing. The backlash has intensified, leaving the Queen of Tears star facing significant psychological strain.
A Newsen report reveals that a staff member from Good Day shared that Soo Hyun’s emotional state has worsened. They revealed that the actor has been grappling with painful memories from his past, leading to feelings of isolation and frustration. "He’s been under extreme stress following the accusations. The situation likely forced him to revisit the emotional pain from his former relationship with Kim Sae Ron, stirring up a complicated mix of grief and resentment," the staff member stated.
Kim Soohyun’s agency, GOLD MEDALIST, has filed a criminal lawsuit against Garosero Research Institute and Kim Saeron’s family:

On March 14, 2025, GOLDMEDALIST released an official statement confirming that Kim Soo Hyun is experiencing severe psychological instability. The agency assured fans that they’re prioritizing the actor’s mental well-being and taking steps to ensure he receives the necessary support.
Currently, Kim Soo Hyun is staying at his family home in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, seeking comfort and privacy away from the relentless media attention. The ongoing situation has also impacted MBC’s Good Day, where Kim Soo Hyun was set to appear. Episode 6, initially scheduled for March 23, has been postponed, and Episode 5 underwent significant edits, cutting down the actor’s screen time to avoid further controversy. A representative from the show stated, "We made these changes to protect both the cast and production from the escalating backlash."
