In a recent interview given by the late Kim Sae Ron‘s aunt, it was alleged that Kim Soo Hyun was the first one to approach Kim Sae Ron. He actively pursued her, confessing his love for her.
Her family initially did not know about the relationship until they felt that something was off. Kim Soo Hyun often sent Sae Ron photos of him in the military.
One day, before he went to the military, he kept contacting her. He also kept sending her photos of himself in the military. That’s when we thought something was weird and found out. We were very against it.

She also claimed that Kim Sae Ron had initially tried to refuse Kim Soo Hyun’s advances, questioning his feelings for her. After all, the age gap was huge.
Yes she told us that. Of course, she wouldn’t have directly told her mom at first that she was dating someone. Because she kept receiving personal photos from him that we found out and tried to stop her. Sae Ron said she told him not to fool around with a young kid like her. What do you think he would’ve said to her to make her date him? He said things like he sincerely valued her, he was serious about her, things like that. He was totally serious when he said that to her. Of course she knew he was way older. She told him not to mess around with her, not to joke. We know about that because Sae Ron told us later on. But she said he was serious about it. Later on, when he made his company, he promised to take care of her because he loved her. He talked about it as if he would take responsibility for her. That’s why she left YG Entertainment when her contract was ending. Normally people would shop around for agencies, but she went there because they were dating.

It was previously alleged that she left YG Entertainment in order to join him at his newly established company, Gold Medalist. She became the first artist to sign with the company after Kim Soo Hyun, who was one of the co-founders.
In a recent exposé, Kim Sae Ron’s aunt named Kim Soo Hyun as the one to blame in her death, exposing their 6 year relationship. You can read more about it below.
