Kim Soo Hyun Refutes 5 Infamous Images Of “Proof” He Dated Kim Sae Ron As A Minor

One of the images address was the “Soju Date” where Kim Sae Ron came over to Kim Soo Hyun’s home that happened in June 2018. Kim Soo Hyun’s side confirmed the date, but denied the claims, adding that the actor’s family was also present.

On a viral forum post, netizens discussed the explanation offered by Kim Soo Hyun. Many were extremely critical of the actor, questioning why a minor was even present in the first place and that any explanation offered would still not look good for Kim Soo Hyun.

• So basically, that photo’s timestamp is accurate, right? LOL. So he really made a minor cook Spicy Chicken Stew, and it was really at 11 PM? LOL, you bastard. Calling a minor—who isn’t even from the same agency—to his house at 11 PM? And his family was supposedly there? And they spent the night? What does that sound like to you? It’s basically undeniable that they were in a relationship. This isn’t a clarification—it’s a confirmation, you idiot. LOL.
• Even if the family was there, it’s a problem. If they weren’t, it’s still a problem. I checked the article to see if there was even a photo proving the family was present, but there’s nothing. At least show some evidence before making claims, sh*t.
• Seriously, if they weren’t in a relationship, then why were they drinking soju together? Why drink alcohol? Was their family there too? What kind of nonsense…
• If they weren’t in a romantic relationship, wouldn’t that be an even bigger problem? Grooming a minor into believing they’re in a relationship and acting like a normal couple? Why choose this angle? Does this make it seem like there’s no issue? It seems like an even bigger problem. At the very least, they should show some respect for the deceased if they’re human.
