“Close shot with Kim Soo Hyun is controversial” Actress Kim Sae Ron, an acquaintance commented on her behalf… “There are circumstances that she cannot talk about”

An acquaintance commented on behalf of actress Kim Sae-Ryong, whose close-up shots with actor Kim Soo-Hyun caused a passionate debate. What are the circumstances that she cannot talk about?

　At dawn on 24th of this month, Kim Sae Rong posted one photo without any special comment through the story function on her SNS. The photo was a selfie of Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Theron in rough clothes, with their faces close together. In the middle of the night, they started their own relationship rumours.

　Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, then issued an official comment, saying "Kim Soo Hyun's relationship rumours are unfounded. The photos that are spreading on the internet are thought to have been taken when they were at the same agency in the past, and the intention of Kim Soo Hyun's behaviour is completely incomprehensible."

　It continued, "This photo has led to unnecessary misunderstandings and rampant speculation about the actor, and we will take strong action against the malicious slander and insulting posts that defame the actor's character and reputation through our legal representatives, the legal firm."

　Kim Sae Rong's sudden action caused a huge stir, as the sudden publication of a selfie with Kim Soo Hyun, who is currently on trial for self-restraint after a drunk driving accident in May 2022, cannot be interpreted in a positive way. In particular, Kim Soo Hyun is currently gaining popularity again with the tvN Saturday and Sunday drama Queen of Tears, which tilted public opinion even more unfavourably towards Kim Sae Rong.

　Was he just trying to show off or did he really make a mistake? One Korean media outlet reported that Kim Sae Rong is currently sorting out her comments and plans to release a comment on the latest fiasco. In a situation of waiting for this, testimonies from Kim Sae-Ron's acquaintances have emerged. According to another media report, A, an acquaintance close to Kim Sae Rong, said that 'there seems to be a complicated story that Kim Sae Rong cannot tell' and that 'the situation is quite difficult emotionally'. He added: 'I am struggling about what position I have to clarify'.

　What is the complicated story that Kim Seron cannot tell? I think the time has come when he has to speak up in person, not as an acquaintance.
