Kim Soo Hyun’s Agency Issues Swift Denial of Any Relationship with Kim Sae Ron Who Remains Mum About Posting of Picture

• Attention...as simple as that.

• The most amusing part in this news is "deleting it 23 seconds later". I don't have an Instagram, but I'm just wondering how they know such an accurate time?😄

• I genuinely expected this to blow up badly the way HSH-Hyeri did. But it died quite a quick death thankfully. His agency was quite firm with their statement both on the fact that they have no idea what the intention of posting the photo was and that they will be suing people who spread baseless rumours. They didn’t seem to fear any rebuttal from someone who seems out of control and has nothing to lose. Surprising for Gold Medalist. They are usually trash at PR control LOL. But this is KSH, and frankly, it did look like a regular drunk photo. Anyway glad we are moving from it.

  As for Kim Sae Ron, she’s no longer a child. I can’t believe it’s come to this - from one of the most promising child actresses and literally the last co-lead Won Bin worked with. She was such a huge talent. It’s unreal how low she’s reached. I really don’t see a way back for her. It’s sad, but there’s only so much she can blame others or circumstances on…

  • She single handledly literally crush her own career...

    • She did. So sad because DUI is one thing, but she’s made mistakes after mistakes since. No sincerity in her reflection (which is completely necessary in this case). It’s a disaster. I know her agency dropped her, but she doesn’t seem to even have guidance in her life. Even now, she hasn’t said anything about that photo. What a mess KSR has become.

    • @Butterfly - Your assessment that she has no guidance in her life appears spot-on, from what I know KSR had stage parents and those are never good news for the child. No one could have predicted she'd sink this low, it makes me sad to think of Ajusshi (such an amazing film, it's in my top 10 of all time in any language)

      As for KSH....Queen of Tears just crossed 14 percent ratings for episode 6, it's shaping up to be his biggest hit since You From Another Star so he and the drama probably going to be perfectly fine. A statement that strong sounds like his agency lawyered up REALLY well.

    • @Royal We Ahjusshi was and will always be on of the best movies out there. Won Bin’s living in the glory of that movie for well over a decade now loll. I rewatched it a couple of months ago and wondered how KSR was doing. It still shocks me that it’s come to this for her. She has nothing left to lose in terms of her name - she’s lost it all already.

      KSH I felt was always going to be just fine. I was expecting drama galore for a couple of days regarding this issue, but in the end, he’s too much of a top star for this to truly impact him. He’s fine. Someone in the previous article was crying about how this “scandal” may impact the drama, his costar, etc, etc, etc. The 3% ratings jump + highest so far is the answer to that.

    • @Butterfly @Royal We, I am one that really believe a child's nurture will really affect their character as they grow up.
      I dont know how it affected Kim Sae Ron's life but I do feel pity for her. I really liked her as a young child actress.

  • It doesn't help that she has a specific history of staging and lying about pictures (post-DUI her 'cafe part-timer' pics when the cafe she claimed to work at didn't know about her alleged employment at all). That's much worse than Hyeri-HSH getting emotional and having a silly public spat over a lying man.

    She absolutely knew what she was doing by putting up that pic at this time, but it's not exactly a surprise that people might think she's just doing for attention in a way that they would not if it was one of her fellow child actresses around the same age posting this.

  • I believe she could have still bounce back from her DUI incident but that whole fake job fiasco have made the whole public wary about her intention. And now this, I doubt she will ever be able to make a comeback after this. Can't belive she was a part of the Kim trio and now seeing all this makes me feel bad for her.

• The fact that Dispatch has not been successful in capturing any dating photos in his whole career so far tells you he’s extremely careful in protecting his dating activities. This looks like a couple of drunk colleagues taking a selfie at a company gathering. When the pic is brightened and zoomed in you can see there’s an arm rest between them.

  • @Passerby - that's why I mentioned she's been found to be staging pictures in the past and lying about it. Whether she's actually an ex or not, she knows what she was doing here. I read on pannchoa that she probably did it out of jealousy over KSH posting a pic of himself in the same pose with IU (longtime friend) backstage at her concert?

    Dispatch etc can be bought off to prevent leaking dating news/photos, the only couple I've known to refuse to admit anything even after having pics of actual dates out was Lee Jongsuk and Park Shin Hye back in 2015.

• I’m a skeptic so I think it’s more they got the morning to negotiate and a deal was made…let’s not be naive. the statement though was strong and well written to dispel any doubts. It’s Kim soo hyun here so I don’t doubt that he did what he had to especially with a hit drama running. If its just her wilfulness it’s sad as an attention seeking act. If it’s a couple thingy (ex or current) - good riddance if the other party would rather destroy you. lol

  • If they were truly a couple, don't you think she would have a more juicy photo (like kissing or even a peck on the cheek) instead of a two heads together drunk selfie? Do not think too much. A drunken photo will not destroy his career unless he is caught driving drunk like she did. She is so stupid to post... If she wants money and if they truly dated, she should have sold her story to the media. This is simply attention seeking without any basis. She has again crushed her image. This is my opinion.

    • Exactly. Plus lets be honest. If this was about money and she had dirt on him, wouldn’t it be more logical to simply negotiate behind the scenes in the first place? I bet there are lots of those type of deals happening weekly. If his agency doesnt settle, then go to dispatch with her story and the proofs. She can paint herself to be the victim, get the publicity, throw him under the bus and potentially even come back.

      But the fact that she went via this route tells me this isnt planned and she is more stupid than calculating and is now struggling to fix the issue she herself created.

      If the end goal is money - she went about this stupidly. If the end goal is to ruin him - she still went about it stupidly and it’s not working at all so far. If the end goal is attention - she went about it perfectly.

• Don't want to sound nasty, but this seems like a calculated move on her part. She just so happened to post the pic while his drama is airing..and doing very well at that? Mmhmm...sure
  Her track record doesn't make her look good. First that coffee shop photo and now this? Girl, get you shit together and move on.

• This and her previous media issues (like posting how hardworking she is at a certain cafe but then cafe denies she’s ever been their staff) really show how she does not have good, sensible adults—both friends and family—around her who can guide and knock sense into her. Or maybe she has but she simply doesn’t want to listen. Add to that, (scientists say) the brain isn’t fully formed until the mid-20s hence the tendency for teens until the early 20s to act more impulsively and recklessly.

  • Her brain is totally ruined by alcohol. You can equate her mentality to any growing human being. LOL…

• Yah… If I dated a guy and he dismissed me so publicly, I’d be out for blood LOL. She deffo would go all out if she had anything to share. She has no career to lose anymore.
  Dunno what her purpose was / drunk behaviour? Jealous of his successful chemistry with his current costar? Jealous of the IU photo? Pain jealous? It’s deffo not a mistake ffs. No one’s stupid enough to believe this is truly just a whoops moment lmbo. Wish she’d just lay low for a bit. Some celebs need supervision when on sns. /sigh/

• Mannnnn, when you star in a movie like "Ahjussi" at the age of 10, that'll do it and screw you right up if you don't have the right support. Although the movie is honestly So Good, you gotta question why any parent would let their young child be that immersed in a sick imaginary world. Eep. Seeing her spiral is sad. She definitely was not thinking straight when she posted this, knowing Kim Soohyun is in the spotlight with a drama right now. Kim Soohyun probably has a non-disclosure agreement for whoever he dates anyways. They'd definitely have to pay up. Lol. Just stay away from the youngins, bro!

• I was so confused why this even became a headline tbvh. Is it because ksh is currently a very hot topic?! Nothing about the photo warranted a double take even. Whatever. Glad it’s resolved. He has a drama to promote and we have a drama to gush about.
