Kim Soo Hyun sent pictures of himself sleeping with an idol to underage Kim Sae Ron, called her 'seaweed': 'I would have…'
The ongoing controversy surrounding the relationship between the late actress Kim Sae Ron and actor Kim Soo Hyun took a shocking turn on Wednesday (May 7) as Kim Sae Ron's family held a press conference in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. In a move that has sent shockwaves through the Korean entertainment industry and social media, the family released a voice recording purportedly featuring Kim Sae Ron detailing disturbing allegations against Kim Soo Hyun.
According to reports from the press conference and corroborated by K-media outlet TenAsia, the released audio includes Kim Sae Ron allegedly admitting to having a sexual relationship with Kim Soo Hyun when she was in middle school, specifically when she would have been only 14 years old. This revelation directly contradicts Kim Soo Hyun's previous statements, where he claimed their relationship began only after Kim Sae Ron reached the legal age of consent.
But it doesn't end here. In the recording, Kim Sae Ron can reportedly be heard stating that Kim Soo Hyun would show her photos of himself with other individuals, including an idol, after sexual encounters. Kim Sae Ron allegedly described how Kim Soo Hyun would even show her photographs taken during his sexual encounters with others.

In a particularly disturbing detail highlighted in the released recording, Kim Sae Ron allegedly revealed that Kim Soo Hyun had saved the contact information of an idol he had slept with under the bizarre and objectifying name "Seaweed," due to her scent.
"But what makes him psycho is that he would show me photos taken while having sex with someone else. But what's even crazier is that he saved the idol he slept with as 'Seaweed' in his contacts because she smelled like seaweed. If I had the right circumstances, I would've exposed everything already," Kim Sae Ron allegedly said in the audio.
Kim Soo Hyun was dating an idol before Kim Sae Ron?
According to a previous report by The Korea Times, Kim Soo Hyun was reportedly in a relationship with a fellow actor and K-pop idol during his military service, spanning roughly from 2016 to 2019.
The two are said to have grown close while working under the same agency, KEYEAST, which Kim joined in 2010 after parting ways with M. Boat.
In 2019, Kim Soo Hyun left KEYEAST and went on to establish his own agency, GOLDMEDALIST, alongside his cousin, director Lee Sa Rang.

Bae Suzy avoids ex-Miss: A member Min's wedding: fans speculate over invitation snub, rekindling past feud rumors
Min, a favorite ex-member of the legendary K-pop group Miss A, wed her long-time beau—an entrepreneur outside show business, on June 7, 2025, in a small, intimate ceremony in Seoul. Although the wedding was a lovely reunion of friends and happy memories, it soon became a burning issue among fans because of one glaring omission: one of K-pop's biggest stars, Bae Suzy. A sweet, nostalgic celebration In spite of the low-key celebration, Min's wedding became a mini-reunion for Miss A as former group members Fei and Jia arrived to join the festivities. The two stars both used social media to congratulate Min and express their happiness and love for her. Jia, who is now working in China's showbiz scene, shared a few loving pictures with Min on her wedding day, captioning them, "So pretty, so sexy, and so lovely. Huge congratulations! The pictures captured the happiness and warmth of the moment, with the two embracing and laughing together.". Fei also expressed these sentiments, posting her gallery of hugs and genuine smiles. Her touching caption was, "Let's be happy always. I love you." For fans of Miss A for a while now, getting to see the three of them together was an emotional experience, as in-between public reunions of ex-members have been few since the group's disbandment. The Lack of Suzy: A Quiet Inquiry But as Fei and Jia's posts made the rounds online, fans immediately picked up that Suzy was nowhere to be seen at both the ceremony and the photoshoot. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Irish homeowners eligible for solar 'bonus' if they live in these eircodes Activ8 Learn More Undo As the most popular member of Miss A and now a household name in South Korea through her successful acting and solo singing career, Suzy's not being there didn't go unnoticed. Within hours, fans had taken to social media and online forums to query why she wasn't there, with a number of them speculating she may not have even received an invite. This speculation renewed long-standing gossip regarding Suzy's relationship with her former group members. While Miss A was still active under JYP Entertainment, fans could always sense tension between Suzy and the rest of the group, particularly after her breakthrough acting stint in the 2012 drama "Dream High." As her solo career continued to flourish, Suzy was regularly missing from group activities, which sparked speculations of a strained relationship. Rumors and Reality: The Group's History Miss A was formed in 2010 and gained popularity instantly with "Bad Girl Good Girl" and "Goodbye Baby." Although successful, fans would frequently notice cringe-worthy body positioning and sitting arrangements at interviews, as if Suzy was a little disengaged from the group. Following Miss A's hiatus in 2017, Suzy stayed behind at JYP before relocating to another agency to concentrate on her solo career, while Fei, Jia, and Min took individual directions. The three have had visible online interactions throughout the years, whereas Suzy has had a distant presence, and she seldom reacts to her ex-bandmates online. Nevertheless, it should be noted that none of the members of Miss A have ever given public comments on the rumors of a split-up or internal discord. No Official Word, But Speculation Persists As Min's wedding reunited Fei and Jia in a celebration of happiness, Suzy's absence also fueled speculation about the group's dynamics once again. Without any official statements made by any of the members, the exact nature of their relationships remains something of a fan debate. For the time being, the focus stays on Min's joyous new life—and the lingering questions surrounding Miss A's past.
