Kim Soo Hyun in 'extreme confusion and chaos' amid Kim Sae Ron scandal, agency updates

Actor Kim Soo Hyun is currently experiencing extreme psychological distress following the ongoing controversy surrounding his past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron. According to his agency, Gold Medalist, the actor is in a state of “extreme confusion and chaos” after being accused of contributing to Kim Sae Ron’s tragic death.

In a formal statement issued on 14 March, the agency revealed that Soo Hyun’s mental health had deteriorated rapidly, prompting immediate internal measures to ensure his psychological safety. “Kim Soo Hyun showed sudden instability in his psychological health early this morning,” the statement read. “He has been suffering through extreme confusion and chaos due to the recent claims.”

Hello, this is Gold Medalist.

We are sharing Kim Soo Hyun’s position on the recent reports from Garo Sero Institute.

We have previously shared that a statement will be shared next week with concrete evidence to refute the claims made in their reports.

However, Kim Soo Hyun showed sudden instability in his psychological health early this morning, so we are taking measures to make sure he is in complete stability. He has been suffering through extreme confusion and chaos due to Garo Sero Institute’s claims he was responsible for Kim Sae Ron’s sudden death. In addition, after their live broadcast ended on March 12, people in cars with cameras were waiting in the company’s parking lot and across the building’s main entrance. Also, around lunchtime on March 13, people holding cameras were loitering around the building, adding to the psychological pressure placed on Kim Soo Hyun.

These invasive actions have compounded the pressure already placed on Soo Hyun, whose name has been at the centre of intense media attention. Gold Medalist previously confirmed that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship but stated it only began after she became an adult.

To help de-escalate the situation, the agency has proposed a private meeting with Kim Sae Ron’s mother, aiming for a resolution that respects both the late actress’s memory and the wellbeing of those affected. “We urge an end to public disputes and seek private dialogue,” the agency noted in an earlier statement.

Kim Soo Hyun remains under care as his agency works to protect his mental health during this deeply challenging time.
