Kim Soo Hyun’s Agency Gold Medalist Announces that It Will Provide Factual Statement Response to the Current Kim Sae Ron Allegations Next Week — 57 Comments

  1. One week? time to bribe everyone and try to erase as many evidence as possible
    If he really innocent…why need one week?
    Police should guard all the witness, who knows this turn into homicide as we talk about coldblooded guy who still
    to show off his birthday gift during his birthday and on the day she commit suicide
    The agency more like mafia now

    • I feel the same way too. He is probably buying time, offering hush money to her family and then if they accept, ,then they will come out and say this is all fabricated stuff and photoshopped pics. Given his status and wealth and seeing how past Korean actors get away with a lot of their scandals, I think his career will continue and he will find ways to come clean. Didnt they say it is an open secret they dated in the past? That means the media and dispatch knew about it and stayed silent. They never exposed any of his dating relationships. He probably has the power and back support to do all this. If that is the case, he will find ways to brush off this scandal.

    • May also be trying to find ways to make KSR out to be some unhinged psychopath to turn the public’s opinion against her.

  2. Did she live by herself from when she was 15 until her family found out in 2019?

    And they kept silent based on a promise of marriage to a guy that old?

    I am not siding him because its a predatory behaviour. So she could legally sign a contract with GoldMedallist at that age?

    And her parents are denying everything or knowledge until 2019?

    Poor girl. She really suffered a lot. Yes she drank. Yes she crashed her car and the what- if are there.

    But come on its just lynching behaviour if people wished such an outcome on someone.

    Plus stop with this release. Just go to the lawyers for crying out loud. This aunt and dad. What did you both do when she was alive? Did you say? Did you both say what the family tried to do to help her? Its all her, her and her and her efforts.

    • That’s also what I’m wondering…..🤔 I can’t imagine to have left a minor deal with this sort of relationship for such a long time until (allegedly) 4 years later since they started dating. The family didn’t appear very attentive to their dependent. As a parent, I just can’t imagine how that happened.

      • Nobody is denying the family’s culpability in this. Yes they failed her but so did everyone else who left her own her own to handle this man herself. However we must lose sight of him as the sexual predator because that’s exactly what he wants.

      • I will hold off my judgment at this point until more “evidence” comes out. KSH should take all the allegations to the court and sue against defamation if he’s clean. Taking legal actions is the only means to justify himself. If he doesn’t bring it to the court, then it’s legit to question his innocence cuz a normal person will definitely sue those who initiated/spread harmful rumors about him that is ruining his career.

      • @Somebody, i said that also , if he is clean,why didn’t his agency took a strong legal response as they do when it’s about netizens and malicious comments ? The accusations are no joke . I’m perplexed because i don’t want to crucify someone if he isn’t guilty but at the same time all articles, photos, …are pointing that it seems true , and if he dated a minor , he was wrong even if it was consensual, a minor/ adult relationship has always mental health issues even after when the minor becomes adult .A minor’s mental is very fragile and it’s the role of adults to protect it and to not cross the line .

      • @Cahil, I was also leaning towards unfavorable opinions about KSH. But after reading some most recent news, it makes sense for people to hold off judgement until more evolve. He must be working with his PR team and legal team about all options to counteract the scandal. It takes time to process. I’ll just give him time and the benefits of the doubt before he proven guilty.

        Grooming is abominable. But I want to hear both sides, not just one-sided stories.

      • Somebody: I dont understand how you can stay neutral after all these. What can he say next week that will convince you he’s not a pedo? That all the pictures and emails are fabricated? That they are only very close colleagues expressing their platonic relationship?

      • @Abc, I was actually kinda glad it was like karma back to KSH’s rabid fans when the scandal broke out cuz they had been treating KSR and her defenders so badly online. I like to see them get the taste of their own medicine, dismayed, and ashamed of their oppa’s downfall. But I don’t want to unfairly wrong another celeb either.

        Yes, even how real those text messages, hand-written letters, and lovey-dovey couple pics look like, I can’t be sure if all this is authentic given that tech nowadays is really capable of faking anything. We have seen all the deepfake abuses in the US elections and Taiwan’s elections. I’ll leave it to the legal authority to judge. That being said, if KSH’s team doesn’t take legal actions but appears to desperately muzzle unfavorable opinions instead, then it’s legit to believe all the rumors most likely are true.

        My C fave was unfairly wronged, accused, bullied, and defamed, and has been suffering from negative aftereffects since then. But antis continue to believe he has caused pains to other people. He’s got a great legal team to sue nasty mouths every year LOL. I don’t want to wrong any innocent people. That’s why I’m reserving my judgment at this point. If KSH has done nothing inappropriate, he definitely will bring any allegations to the court since these allegations have already damaged his image. If he doesn’t take legal actions, then he is fishy.

    • the aunt was not her biological aunt, it’s like an older lady she knew and called aunt.
      She lives alone after she is like 17,her family said they only know it when she reach 17, not from the very beginning and they did disagree until they are “persuaded” by her and ksh.
      Her dad did not live with her, she raised by her “disturbed” mother and the breadwinner of that family.

      tbh we don’t really know cause she isn’t here anymore but the fact that people who digs this and pioneer this whole things is actually the people who weren’t at her daily life may point to very different things. Either they also just found out the extend of her trouble while cleaning her stuff or they can only speak now since previously her guardian is her mother.

      The aunt and dad is probably not a saint but I can’t even say that they aren’t trying to help since her legal guardian, her mother did not even speak nor do anything more when they still live together.

      I am not excusing the aunt and dad lack of care previously but what do they get from this beside revenge.
      Also when she was alive, she never spoke about this, she probably also still want to protect him which is sad. It’s not always black and white and there is better things to do than blame the aunt and the dad.

    • I am neither fans of the artist. Only watched 2 dramas of KSH and the movie KSR with Won Bin.

      While I didn’t condone KSH act of dating KSR atvher young age, I think to call him a phedo or predator can only be justified if he also dated other underage girls not just KSR and by Korean law then the 13 years was legal consent (stupid law honestly). I wonder what attracted him to her, was it because of the similar hardship he experienced when he was young? I dunno. And maybe KSR attracted to him due to this too that resonates well other than his look. I dunno, only both of them knew.

      Why the family didn’t do anything also not one to judge. Maybe they did, maybe not. But surely is wrong to have her becomes the breadwinner at home at young age, poor girl, she is mature without presumably guided wisdom.

      Why revealed now? Maybe her death opened the family eyes and wanna do smthg to rectify their past mistake, to lessen the guilt, I dunno. Maybe they were angry for the zero respect KSH showed to the deceased by not showing up on her bereavement nor sent any wreath?. Not after 6 years of dating. At the very least she was his artist, past colleague.

      What I know is people made mistake but deserve 2nd chance and adding the mental pressure on someine that already at her edge is indirectly inhumane.

      I dunno where the consience of KSH, GM and the youtuber (dunno his name) that tarnished her already down public perception. And if they all can still have undisturbed sleep after this knowing their action indirectly killing her, wow just wow

      • @Liera…it’s a weird stance to take that if he was only successful in grooming KSR and not others that KSH isn’t a pedophile.It doesn’t matter why he was attracted to her, it doesn’t erase the fact that she was 15 and younger when he, a man in his late 20s, came around to court her. I may be wrong but your comment is coming off as if you’re trying to excuse his behaviors by painting this as some genuine love story from his side. Not for nothing, netizens have unearthed many instances of him making inappropriate comments regarding other child actresses such as Kim Yoo Jung but thankfully, they probably had better guardians than Kim Saeron to protect them.

      • @R exactly. reminds me of the “defense” that michael Jackson fans love using to “prove” that their idol wasn’t a pe*do: “See? Macaulay Culkin said he wasn’t groomed by Michael! This proves that Michael wasn’t a groomer!”

        Which is stupid. That’s not how it works. Groomers don’t always groom every kid that comes their way. They also pick and choose their victims. Macaulay was very popular as a child actor, so it makes sense why Jackson wouldn’t dare doing that to him as he can easily speak out and have the world listen to his words. That’s why Jackson went after kids with no power/clout and have money-hungry parents willing to sell them.

        Sadly, Kim Sae Ron was the “ideal” victim for sick people like KSH as she hardly had any support system. Seems to me that she also admired him and he took advantage of that young crush/admiration

  3. If the Koreans forget and sweep under the rug, then S.Korea is really a lost society. In the pits to allow for more perversions than it already has. So sad!!!

  4. There will be the big news of impeachment next week so the agency is just banking on distracting the public and waiting for the hype to die down. So mean. Does it take more than a second to say yes or no?

  5. I’m a fan of actor KSH in Moon Embracing the Sun. After METS, I personally think his performance was always overshadowed by his costars in the following dramas. I once said so and got harshly attacked by his rabid fans on this site specifically when I expressed dislike of the recent hit QoT and was critical of his awkward “comedic” acting. So, whatever I’m gonna say here isn’t defending him. Just saying, this isn’t coming out of his fans.

    I was on the fence holding back my judgment and then a slew of allegations against him appeared convincing. But after reading more news on different sites, now I’m holding back my judgment again. Currently the public opinions leave KSH in unfavorable spotlight and a lot of Kdrama fans are excited and trashing him. This reminds me of those celebs, KSR included, who went through cyber bullying before they took a tragic exit. I always denounce cyber bullying and disapprove of those commenters who participated in cyberbullying celebs on this site. I don’t want to be part of the cyber bullying against KSH either. I’ll just wait for KSH’s agency GM’s official statement next week and perhaps more information to unfold. If all the allegations are true, than he’s a predator grooming a minor and might have contributed to KSR’s death. Then let him be condemned. But so far, anything circulated online should be considered speculations even photos and hand written letters can’t be considered “evidence” without legal corroboration. Everyone should stay calm and refrain oneself from being a keyboard judge outside the courtroom. I don’t want to see LSK 2.0.

  6. What facts can he prove? That he didn’t kiss a 15 years old girl. His fangirls r most pathetic scums along like jackson fans to defend the pedo creep

  7. The thing is, if this is true and it seems like it is, it’s only a matter of time that other things will be public. Something like this can’t be single incident. If he is capable of this he has done this to others as well.

  8. He seems very powerful or has very powerful backing. Evidences are all over social media but no mainstream media are picking it up or somehow they make those articles not trending on naver. The ones trending are only the ones from his PR team. i’ve never seen a situation lịe this before tbh.

    • This. The control over mainstream media is insane. I only see articles from his PR team trending in the Naver entertainment section. Nothing in the social section.

  9. A week to cook up more lies, pay off/bribe witnesses.
    He truely thinks everyone is an idiot and will belive any drivel his agency cook up.
    This whole situation makes me so mad, everyone let this poor girl down her family n industry included!

  10. I think it’s clear his career are over. I didn’t see any korean star to recover from such scandal no matter if guilty or not.
    I do think he’s guilty. One small part of me still hopes his agency will come up with some miracle a week later and expose all photos and letters as incredible photoshop, but I 99% know it won’t happen.
    It’s a matter of time when all endorsements will cancel him and a drama will be shut down (I feel sorry for all the cast and staff who worked hard on it).
    But now I wonder what will happen next, a few months later.
    Now I have 3 future worries:
    1. The easier of my worries, what will happen to actors of KSH agency. Reputation of the agency destroyed, most of the actors there are rookies, and they have future dramas ahead. I following some of them and I wonder if they can leave agency without a problems or not.
    2. With KSH surrounding. If this was an “open secret”, as dispatch said, KSH acquaintances will be questioned. I wonder if there will be revealed something about some of them or not.
    3. With KSH himself. If he’ll be cancelled, it means he exposed now and has nothing to hide anymore. His evil nature was revealed. I wonder if he will do something crazy. Of course I hope he won’t, but he’s only 37 yo and hella rich, he has whole life ahead to try to do whatever he wants towards people he would find attractive. Like, what will stop him now, when he doesn’t need to care about reputation. I don’t know how, I just wish he will be controlled by someone, at least by journalists, and people will be protected from him.
    I wish very much it’s just my worries, and he won’t harm anyone anymore.

    This is my worries, my thoughts about all of this:
    1. Hypocrisy of journalists and people as all. There’s not much people who cared about KSR a month ago, now many of them started to care. Especially crying about “woman can be heard only when she’s dead”, as we’re not a part of the problem.
    I could at least to write encouraging comments and messages to Kim Sae Ron on social media, but I did nothing. I preferred to spent time to gossip here.

    2. With all of that the main thing comes to my mind, how better it would be if everything would be revealed a few weeks earlier, when KSR was alive. Yes, her family made their revenge (I don’t understand how her family let her go to his agency, but it’s on them), he is hated and cancelled, but KSR still dead. If everything was exposed when she was alive, how better it could be.

    3. Also I think how many here (me included) criticised that Tangerine/Millie/Minnie/crazy person with 15 accs who wrote a lot of comments under posts about Kim Sae Ron, and how turns out they were right.

    • I LOL at your point 3. But it’s so true. How many visiting this site was trashing KSR, her defendants, and KSH’s naysayers back then because she and those who didn’t praise KSH to the moon violated their fantasy about their flawless oppa? Now some of them are quiet and perhaps feel embarrassed crying a bucket at some corners LOL, and some others were so quick to jump on the bandwagon trashing their idol as if by doing so, they would look more innocent and their track records of cyber bullying would be easily erased. LOL. But there is a thing called “memory.” Keyboard judges are always laughable. People remember what comments used to be thrown upon KSR and others.

      • I actually suit on your description of the second option, lol.
        I didn’t trash KSR, but remember writing “It’s just a drunk picture, there’s no hidden meaning behind it, why are you making it more serious than it is?”
        Now I don’t know either laugh or to cry about my stupidity.

      • Even if KSR had come out with all the evidence KSH would have swept the floor with her and sue her to infinity for defamation. Or any of her family members.
        KSR death tipped the scale in her “favour”.
        All he had to do was stop torturing her, putting pressure on her with the lawsuit, getting that youtuber to keep slandering her so she would have had a way out, and no one would have known how disgusting he is.

        He was delighted when she took her life. I’m glad she has the last laugh tho. Of course I would prefer if he would have let her live instead of driving her to suicide. But there is at least a bit of justice coming his way with his fall from grace.

        As for family letting her being groomed. He knew damn well what he was doing is wrong. Groomers know how to hide what they are doing. I’m sure family didn’t take good care of her but still he is the perpetrator here.

        Last year 3 women came forward how they were groomed and raped by someone I “know” . I was there when this was happening 10 years ago. He knew how to pick the targets, others around him were covering for him (especially his family), victims parents had zero knowledge of this until they had finally decided to press charges.

        I was there at that time, some shit was a bit off, but when the details came out we were all taken aback by the scope of his grooming. (It was a horse riding place. I was kicked out by them very quickly, because they were awful people.)

        If these disgusting trash wouldn’t hide grooming and raping, there wouldn’t have been many victims.

      • @Coco
        I doubt he could sue her for defamation, as she had pictures of them. He could sue her for 400 mln won she owed to his agency. But like, what she had to lose?
        Her situation was already bad, she was depressed, in debts, hated by netizens and media. What she had to lose?
        It sounds terrible, but she could reveal their “relationship”, to look at the outcome and only after that decide what to do next, to k*ll herself or not.
        It would be better to tell the world what he did to her, even if some people wouldn’t believe. But let’s be real, if there are even more exposing photos only last idiots wouldn’t believe in it. And even if many people wouldn’t believe, there are a lot of people who would believe her. It would be better for her at the first place. On worst scenario he could pay her money for silence, so she would be free from debts and would afford psychological help.
        Well, it’s just my thoughts, a stranger to KSR.
        But I really dislike how some people making it sound, like she can find justice and become free from that situation only because she’s dead. It sounds like some people saying she made a better choice, and anything else would worse her situation. I’m not agree with this.

        Oh God, situation you told about is terrible. Groomers are aware of what they’re doing.
        Looking at KSH and KSR it also questions me how he was so brave to sent to her that 400 mln won letter, to block her number, to reveal her number phone to journalists. How he was so confident she wouldn’t expose him out of a state of desperation. And she didn’t until her death. Is he threatened her or what.

        You said his family covered him??? They knew, did nothing to help, even covered it. They’re disgusting.

    • @Oleysa1

      Yah, I need to tip my hat to the schizo commenter with a dozen different alts on previous posts who turned out to be speaking the truth all along.

      She/him/they called out that KSR chose to die on KSH’s birthday, called him an ped0, and all his fans piled on, but it was the truth.

    • @Coco…I too have thought about whether Saeron would have gotten justice if she had came out with these information when she was alive and unfortunately, like you, I don’t think she would have. He has such a massive PR machine behind him and makes so much money that all those in power are happy to throw their forces behind him. Not to mention his huge fanbase and just general passerby fans whom have like his dramas. Just look at all the comments who are still giving him the benefits of the doubt here and where else on the internet. Meanwhile, she’s a troubled child actor with a sketchy family that doesn’t have her best interest at heart, who’s damaged by not only the industry’s exploitation but also the exploitation of her groomer. Like you said, the only thing in her favor now is the fact that she’s dead.

      I also agree with you how he could have prevented all this if he just left her alone but the guy was adamant in forcing her hands through coercive measure like making her pay her debt back immediately. It makes me think he either thrives on having power over her and/or angry that perhaps she was taking steps to distance herself. The fact that he posted a pic of all his fan gifts on the day of her death leaves me with chills. He really has no care for Saeron at all. Even if there’s no personal relationship between them, at least they were still coworker and that’s still a disgusting thing to do to your work mates.

  11. Based on all the materials available online, he comes across as a psychopath and a narcissist. Are there more rookie underage actresses in his agency? There is never just one victim.

    Having followed K-ent for years, I have seen this rodeo many times, and I seriously doubt any justice will be served. They will just paint KSR to be a crazy person, and all will be well in the fangirling world again. I am sorry, but I have no faith in the system.

  12. Koala grannie is hippocrate who can’t even call pedo a pedo. But never apologised by shaming kim sun ho who was proven to be not wrong. But her fave turned out to be creep pedo. She can’t even use harsh words. Such a fakester hormonal woman

    • She did. Read her previous post, she mentioned what he’s suspected off. And she explained what that word means.
      You, her or me don’t know what happened.
      I believe Sae Ron, may she rest in peace. I won’t watch anything with him again. The picture and her text message to him that’s directly from her.
      At the same time I do believe he’ll get more consequences than being knocked from the top? No I don’t and I hate that, he should get more consequences.
      But as viewer the only thing I could do is stop watching his content, never again.

  13. If you hate her so much why are you here? Get lost petulant troll. Have some decency. Be human. All this hate is bad for your own health.

  14. He’s shameless yes,but technically he didn’t violate any law in south Korea apparently age of consent in south Korea before 2020 is 13 years old. No Wonder police didn’t arrest him.

  15. maybe they feel they can counter what already came out.
    There is something / evidence that they afraid of, they want to see if it is there
    If within 1 week it is not out…then they will act

  16. The people who withheld the information while she was still alive should feel ashame of themselves. I think netizens should focus on that too.

  17. I am not a fan of both actor and actress. Legally you cannot call KSY a pedo as legal age of sexual consent before 2020 in Korean is 13 years old. Korean law protected him from that but morally he is wrong. I will blamed the netizens who do not let her continue acting, parents who are failing her, why never prevent the relationship if they knew? Are they making uses of KSR and KSY so they can received money or KSR offered more drama roles? KSR acted more in independent movies but she wasn’t as famous as other Kim(both) who has more acting role in network. Maybe KSR parents are making use of their relationship especially both of KSr sisters are actress too. Why wasnt they are there when she received lawsuit and gives advise?
    I will give them both a benefit of doubt, I am not going to lynching mode just because of youtubers and allegations. How many life and career been destroyed!

    • Dumbass that 13 yo age of consent was only eligible in the case of other party being 19. Now it has been increased to 16 .
      That man was pushing 30 . So he did a crime legally. However since she is no more and it is unlikely a tape of them getting into intimate relationship is out there, he wont be jailed

    • I agree with some of your comment, but the age of consent is irrelevant to whether we can describe someone as a pedophile. The term pedophile describes someone who is attracted to minors.* It has nothing to do with what is legal, it’s who you are attracted to legal or not.

      *let’s please don’t start arguing the difference between being attracted to prepubescent kids and being attracted to post-puberty kids because people who think that difference is really important tend to be people I would not want left alone with teenagers

      • 100% this!! Ppl trying to excuse that shit as if the law makes it right. Ppl are still nasty for being attracted to kids and if you (his defenders) don’t find something wrong with it then they are also pedos themselves. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  18. Look, if I were accused of grooming a minor and driving someone to suicide, I would hold a press conference to clear my name within hours, but that’s just me…

    • Agreed! His silence on these incriminating pics and letters means that they’re not fabricated if nothing else. Plus dispatch confirmed that he sent Saeron’s plea to them so if nothing else, that action shows what a callous evil person he is. So others may wait for whatever “truth” to come out that they need to confirm what a vile person he is, but I’ve seen enough.

  19. On a very very side note: I just want to point out that the blog is very much still glitching. I have come to the point where incognito mode and clearing cache no longer work. I just have use a different browser. Can we get someone with coding or web design knowledge to fix thissss?? Anyone in the comments??

    • same here. It’s not fun to post and comment at all, if you do not know, if and when your entry appears. And I’m always stuck behind and don’t get the newest content Mrs Koala posts.

      • I know, it’s becoming a side quest to get to new articles. T.T
        I am just trying to get to the tea when it’s still hot…

  20. I’m afraid if he puts enough money on the table, the family will be silenced very quickly. Because they weren’t protecting a minor or helping her through her tough times. It is heartbreaking to think that happened to such a young, talented woman who could have been saved by a little humanity around her.

    At this point, there is no redemption quality to KSH. I don’t need a formal trial. There is no doubt left that he at least is a grooming pedo given her age when he started dating her and how quickly he dumped her when she wasn’t convenient anymore. It’s so disgusting!
    Still, I’m not sure justice will be served.

    • So, Goldmedelist released a lengthy statement now and didn’t wait till next week to respond. As feared they make him the victim. He is Tefon. Nothing sticks with him. He can get away with everything.
      It’s a men’s world driven by big, big money.
      To big to fail
      No justice.
      RIP Kim Sea Ron 😢😥😢

  21. Glad I didn’t waste time watching Queen of Tears series nor any of his dramas when Kim Soo-Hyun was found out to be a real twat!

    • QoT isn’t worth your time anyway even KSH comes out clean. That drama is cheesy and way overrated, the worst of his projects IMO.

  22. I’m also amazed how some people making it about others.
    They make it about Won Bin, they make it about SYJ.
    Yeah, let’s believe Won Bin wanted to pay off KSR’s debt, but couldn’t contact her.
    Yes, let’s use as a proof one single comment on youtube “I worked on Gold Medalist” with the source “trust me bro”.

    They make it about other artists and saying “My oppa beter person than KSH!”. If you’re implying your fave is better than a groomer: 1. It’s lower than a bare minimum. You don’t need to brag about your fave not being a pedophile, we all aren’t! It’s ridiculous to use minimum of any human being as a compliment to your fave. 2. KSH is a example of we don’t know them! Stop idolising your fave just because you watched their dramas and interview, you idiot! Even if you had some suspicious about him, there are people who didn’t. Majority KSH fans didn’t expect it from him either, stop idolising your faves already.
    And opposite of that, they make it about others man who have nothing to do with grooming controversies. They make it about YYS and SJK, because one said mysoginist thing someday, another had drama with divorce. Yeah, let’s compare it with pedophile, because you have hate b*ner towards them and using KSH and KSR case as a reason to make it about others.
    Seriously, can you just make it about Kim Sae Ron??? I understand if you making it about actresses of her age or about minors KSH interacted with. I understand if you don’t care about her, it’s not like many people care about her a month ago, so many of them just hypocrites. But don’t use other artists who have nothing to do with it, don’t try to make it about them just because it’s the only reason for you to start to care.

    • I LOL again. But this is well said. Agreed. Just don’t worship celebs like my fellow Taiwanese to carved wooden idols LOL.

  23. I know you all are saying that women won’t get justice until after their deaths but that’s not true. Sometimes even after their deaths, they do not get justice. I hope KSR does. But I’m reminded of Jang Jayeon, who even after her death never got the justice she deserves. Despite going through what she did, the only person arrested in her case was the manager. None of the powerful people involved faced any repercussions. People were outraged at the time, but once it dies down, ultimately nothing changes. These things keep happening. Same tragedy, different actress.
