The shocking dating scandal of actors Kim Soo Hyun and the deceased Kim Sae Ron tore through the Korean entertainment industry like wildfire. However, the scandal has a dark twist. The alleging romantic involvement of the two actors opened the door to the suspicious death of journalist Kim Yong Ho, the individual who uncovered this story.
Ho’s claims had once very nearly got him into legal trouble at the Garosero Research Institute, and ironically his claims were deemed multiple times false, but based on the leaks of 2015, he was indeed the first to uncover the messy romance between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron. The anticipation around these affairs brought massive attention to Ho’s work throughout the years and culminated in his suspicious death in October, 2023.
In a case that on the surface seemed straightforward, authorities discovered startling complexity. On the surface, Ho’s death was ruled a suicide. However, his suspicious death stemmed directly from the legal trouble that embroiled him at the time, notably the sexual harassment case that left his reputation bruised. Despite being widely accepted as guilty, the depth of his investigative work makes his death increasingly intriguing.
After the newest developments in the Kim Soo Hyun-Kim Sae Ron drama, internet users are starting to wonder if Kim Yong Ho’s reports in the past made him a victim. He owns a YouTube account that details the scandals of major celebrities. This account has revealed conflicts involving big names. Kim Ji Hyun, Song Hye Kyo, and Seo Ye Ji are some of the stars that are known to have had drama during his account’s reign. His disproportionate focus on Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron’s relationship has raised the question of whether he became silenced.
Important claims that the Garosero Research Institute has brought back into the public eye involves the platform having direct evidence of Kim Soo Hyun's alleged relationship with his co-star. This includes purported personal photographs and a diary that allegedly chronicled a six year long relationship which directly opposes the timeline of Kim Soo Hyun's agency that claims the couple dated from mid 2019 till late 2020.
Kim Sae Ron’s mother has also come under the spotlight after she claimed that Kim Soo Hyun and his agency owes her a public apology and issued a sweeping demand list that contained seven items. She has also claimed that YouTuber Lee Jin Ho is in cahoots with Kim Soo Hyun to spin the media narrative about her daughter and has publicly stated that she will be suing him.
On the other hand, Kim Soo Hyun has come under fire and has had to suffer the consequences of many brands parting ways with him. He has recently lost brand ambassador status with Prada, and his follower count on Instagram has decreased by more than four hundred and fifty thousand. The people remain undecided, as some are still judging his earlier behavior, while others are supporting him against the claims.
