Kim Soo-hyun Caught in Dating Scandal: South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun, known for his role in Queen of Tears, is at the center of a major dating scandal involving the late actress Kim Sae-ron. Allegations suggest that the two were in a relationship when Sae-ron was still a minor. However, Gold Medalist, Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, has denied these claims, confirming their past relationship but insisting it began only after Sae-ron reached adulthood.
The controversy took a darker turn after GaroSero Research Institute leaked a private video, allegedly showing Kim Soo-hyun giving Kim Sae-ron a massage at her home. While he does not appear in the video, his voice is reportedly recognizable. In the clip, Sae-ron is heard asking, “Are you filming me?” The leak has only fueled the ongoing controversy surrounding their past.
Why Is Park Seo-joon Being Dragged Into This?
While the scandal unfolds, another top South Korean actor, Park Seo-joon, has unexpectedly found himself linked to the controversy. Recently, the Itaewon Class star shared pictures from his Paris trip with the caption:
“What were you doing in Paris? Horizontal.”
In Korean, “horizontal” translates to “Garo”, which coincidentally relates to GaroSero Research Institute, the platform that leaked Kim Soo-hyun’s video. This has led to rampant speculation among netizens, with some believing Seo-joon’s caption was a subtle dig at Soo-hyun.
According to Koreaboo, GaroSero Research Institute responded to Seo-joon’s caption, stating:
“This is very significant. Kim Soo-hyun’s nickname is ‘YouTuber Kimpari’.”
This unexpected connection has led fans to question whether Park Seo-joon was throwing shade at Kim Soo-hyun or if it was purely coincidental.
The Internet Reacts: Coincidence or Subtle Jab?
The debate continues as netizens analyze Seo-joon’s choice of words. Some believe it’s an innocent caption, while others think it’s a cleverly disguised jab at the ongoing scandal. Neither Kim Soo-hyun nor Park Seo-joon has commented on the speculation, leaving fans divided.
With the controversy gaining global attention, it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds. Will Seo-joon address the rumors? Or will this remain another K-drama-worthy mystery in the world of Korean entertainment?
