Kim Soo-hyun, Kim Sae-ron rumor clarification

Actress Seo Ye-ji has clarified rumors of a romantic relationship with Kim Soo-hyun. Seo Ye-ji conveyed her feelings through a fan cafe, stating, "I am truly overwhelmed, burdened, tired, sad, and suffocated." She revealed that she has no relationship whatsoever with Kim Soo-hyun or his brother.

In the past, the late Kim Yong-ho claimed on his YouTube channel that Seo Ye-ji dated Kim Soo-hyun and, after their breakup, began seeing director Lee Ro-be, Kim Soo-hyun's cousin. At the time, the rumors spread as Seo Ye-ji was working with Kim Soo-hyun on the drama 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay.'

Recently, as the family of the late Kim Sae-ron claimed a romantic relationship with Kim Soo-hyun, speculative rumors spread on online communities suggesting that Seo Ye-ji was involved in Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron's breakup. It appears Seo Ye-ji has stepped forward to clarify this herself.

Seo Ye-ji was under the same agency as Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron, but she parted ways with the agency due to a gaslighting controversy involving her alleged manipulation of her ex-boyfriend Kim Jung-hyun. The day after Kim Sae-ron's death, Seo Ye-ji posted a photo of chrysanthemums, expressing her condolences.

Kim Soo-hyun's side claimed they had been dating the late Kim Sae-ron since 2019, but when suspicions of dating during her minor years arose, they filed a lawsuit for damages against Kim Sae-ron's family and the YouTube channel 'Garo Sero Institute.' Kim Soo-hyun's side has also announced legal action regarding allegations of AI-manipulated voice recordings.
