Kim Soo Hyun sent pictures of himself sleeping with an idol to underage Kim Sae Ron, called her 'seaweed': 'I would have…'

Time of India07-05-2025
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.

Mohit Suri Calls Aneet Padda A ‘Powerhouse Of Talent' After Saiyaara's Success

Mohit Suri praises debutante Aneet Padda for her acting skills. The director also revealed how she got selected for the film. Director Mohit Suri is riding high on the success of his latest offering, Saiyaara. The romantic drama, which premiered on July 18, featured newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Since its release, the film has been smashing records and winning over audiences worldwide thanks to its gripping storyline, soul-stirring music and powerful performances by the debutants. The two have been garnering widespread praise from critics, audiences and renowned Bollywood celebrities. Now, the filmmaker sat down for an interview with an entertainment media portal where he spoke highly about the film's leading lady. Calling Aneet Padda a 'powerhouse of talent", Mohit revealed how she got selected for the film, her dedication towards the craft and how she worked hard even after facing rejections. Mohit Suri Reveals Aneet Padda's Self-Audition Speaking to Zoom, Mohit Suri shared that he first came across Aneet during the COVID lockdowns. 'She taught herself acting and singing at home during COVID. She kept sending auditions, got rejected, and improved after every rejection. I've seen her self-audition on a mobile phone. She did that on her phone and sent it," he said. He credited casting director Shanoo Sharma for recognising her potential. 'Shanoo should be given a lot of credit for this, who flew her down and auditioned her here. She was the one girl who auditioned with old scenes but did it her own way. She's a powerhouse of talent, which is just yet to be tapped." Mohit Suri Is All Praise For Aneet Padda Calling her a strong and independent artist, the Saiyaara director added, 'She is someone who has got the confidence. But at the same time, she has the approach to be critical of herself and learn from that. She doesn't need too much handholding. She is an independent, strong girl who came from Amritsar and has made it on her own." Saiyaara's Plot And Cast A remake of the 2004 Korean classic A Moment to Remember, Saiyaara is a heart-wrenching love story between a fiery journalist, Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), and an aspiring musician, Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday). Written by Rohan Shankar and Sankalp Sadanah, the film also features a talented supporting cast, including Shaad Randhawa, Rajesh Kumar, Sid Makkar, Varun Badola, and Geeta Agrawal Sharma. Box Office Success Saiyaara has been a major commercial success in North America. By August 18, the film had crossed the $6 million mark, making it the third-highest-grossing Indian film in the region. Leading the chart is the historical drama Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal, Rashmika Mandanna, and Akshaye Khanna (USD 6.4 million), followed closely by Rajinikanth's Coolie at USD 6.22 million.
