Kim Sae Ron
stirred a hornet’s nest after she shared an
Instagram story
featuring a selfie with actor Kim Soo Hyun. The click soon sparked
relationship rumours
and the actress ended up deleting it from social media. However, netizens soon started speculating that Kim Sae Ron and
Kim Soo Hyun
were in a relationship.
Jumping into action, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency GOLDMEDALIST denied the rumours and issued a statement, which was quoted by Soompi, “We are making an official statement regarding Kim Soo Hyun’s photo that was spread today.
We are informing you that Kim Soo Hyun’s dating rumors are not currently true. The photo that has been spread online appears to have been taken in the past, when [Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron] were under the same agency, and we are completely unable to understand the motivation behind Kim Sae Ron’s action [of posting the photo].”
“Due to the photo in question, unnecessary misunderstandings and groundless speculation about our actor are currently running rampant, and we will be taking strong legal action through our legal representative in response to malicious slander and insulting posts that defame our actor’s character or honor. We ask that you refrain from writing rumors or groundless speculation regarding this matter. Thank you,” concluded the clarification.
