Did Kim Sae Ron date K-pop star from 7-member boy band? Actor-idol relationship rumor debunked
As the days go by, Kim Sae Ron 's dating scandal is spiraling deeper, dragging in more names and controversies. From fake voice notes to her DUI incident and her family's legal case against ex-boyfriend Kim Soo Hyun — it's become a storm of headlines.
According to Money Today, it was revealed that the late actress reportedly dated a famous idol, known only as A, around 2018. Rumors began to swirl that one of her exes belonged to a well-known 7 member idol group. However, the alleged relationship with this K-pop idol has since been proven false.
Through Garosero, Kim Sae Ron's side claimed she dated actor Kim Soo Hyun from late 2015, when she was still a minor, until 2021. Other claims suggest she also dated singer WOODZ briefly from 2021 to 2022, including the alleged 'A' somewhere in between.
There were also reports that Kim Sae Ron and Mr. A briefly dated in 2019 and got back together in 2022 — around the time she was involved in her DUI case and facing financial difficulties. Allegedly, Mr. A lent her a large sum of money during that time.
Industry insiders stated that Kim Sae Ron continued to meet with Mr. A even after their breakup. However, at no point has it been officially stated that Mr. A was part of a seven-member idol group, making those earlier rumors completely baseless.
Sources also noted that Kim Sae Ron never hid her relationship with Mr. A, often introducing him to acquaintances as her boyfriend. While her past relationships have been mentioned, no official list of ex-boyfriends has been confirmed.
Meanwhile, Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun's ongoing legal case continues to take shocking turns. According to Edaily, South Korean police are currently investigating 10 legal cases connected to Kim Sae Ron. At a press conference on May 20, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency revealed that 7 of those cases are being handled by the Gangnam Police Station, while the other 3 fall under the Seodaemun Police Station.
Notably, 7 of these cases were filed by Kim Soo Hyun. In addition, he now faces accusations from Kim Sae Ron's grieving family, including a charge of violating the Child Welfare Act.

Goldberg (Image via WWE) Once one of the biggest in-ring names in the WCW, Goldberg joined WWE a few years into the transition after his contract with AOL Time Warner expired.

This is why he is now getting ready for his last match in the squared circle, preparing for his retirement from WWE. Goldberg talks WWE retirement and the toll it is taking on his body Goldberg wants his retirement match to be a once-in-a-lifetime thing and, thus, is preparing heavily for it. He said that he knows when his last match is going to be, but getting ready for it has not been easy. Heavy training has taken its toll and injuries have been popping up one after the other. Appearing on CarCast , the WWE veteran said that he has injured himself multiple times while getting fight-ready for the finale. "I know the date (of my retirement match). No one else knows the date public-wise… I hurt myself a couple times in the past three months. But I pulled back... I've got a very high bar to set that I set for myself and 99 times out of a hundred, it's unrealistic… I've been in the ring a couple times. I'm gonna get in the ring again today and it's just tough, man. It is tough.' Goldberg said that he knows it is unrealistic, especially at this age, to think that his body can handle the pressure that he is putting it in. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo But at the same time, he wants to do the best he can in what would be his goodbye to something he has loved for so long.

What Makes SEVENTEEN Different? 10 Years Of Loving The K-Pop Thirteen That Outsmarted The System
New Delhi: You don't often hear the word "anomaly" used as a compliment in the hyper-formatted, hyper-efficient machine that is the K-pop industry. But SEVENTEEN wears it like a crown. Ten years into their journey, the thirteen-member group has not only survived the churn-and-burn nature of idol stardom, but they've also reshaped what it means to thrive. Call it staying power. Call it self-definition. Call it the quiet revolution of a group that turned being "too big" into their biggest strength. In an industry built on glossy perfection and strict creative hierarchies, SEVENTEEN has always been a little too hands-on, a little too collaborative and a little too good at what they do. Now, as they celebrate a decade together in 2025, the question isn't whether they're successful; it's how they've managed to stay this original, this relevant, and this fan-connected for this long. And the answer? They never stopped being themselves, they just kept evolving. 13 + 3 + 1 = SEVENTEEN: A Name, A Philosophy When SEVENTEEN debuted in 2015 under PLEDIS Entertainment, their name confused more people than it clarified: why Seventeen when there are clearly 13 members? But the math was more poetic than literal - 13 members, divided into 3 specialised units (hip-hop, vocal, performance), coming together as 1 cohesive team. It was a statement of structure and synergy and also, quietly, a vision for longevity. Each unit brought something distinctive: the hip-hop team ( Wonwoo, Mingyu, Vernon) crafted sharp, introspective raps. The vocal team (Woozi, Jeonghan, Joshua, DK, Seungkwan) delivered emotional depth with soaring harmonies. The performance unit (Hoshi, Jun, The8, Dino) turned the stages into kinetic art. But the brilliance was in the balance - no member was left behind, no skill left undeveloped. It was democratised stardom from the start. Unlike many K-pop acts whose output is driven by behind-the-scenes producers, SEVENTEEN was branded as "self-producing idols." That wasn't just PR polish; main vocalist Woozi has long helmed the group's songwriting and production alongside in-house producer Bumzu, while Hoshi and the performance team are responsible for much of the group's dynamic choreography. They didn't just perform the art. They made it. And they've never stopped. Why SEVENTEEN Feels Brand-New Even Today Most K-pop groups spend their early years finding a sound, middle years perfecting it, and late years clinging to it. SEVENTEEN, somehow, has sidestepped that linearity. In 2024 alone, they performed on the main stage at Glastonbury Festival - the first K-pop act to do so and headlined Lollapalooza Berlin. Their RIGHT HERE World Tour drew 1.5 million fans across continents. At the Billboard Music Awards, they took home the Top K-pop Touring Artist award. But the numbers aren't the most interesting part. The art is. The group's recent mini-album SPILL THE FEELS landed on Billboard's "25 Best K-pop Albums of 2024." The standout track Spell from their best-of compilation 17 IS RIGHT HERE, was named one of the year's best K-pop tracks and music videos. And all of it, despite their decade-long tenure, feels fresh, not recycled. That's because SEVENTEEN hasn't stayed relevant by repeating past formulas. They've dismantled them. Their sound now shapeshifts between alternative R&B, synth-pop, orchestral ballads and hyperpop-adjacent experiments. There's a level of musical risk here that few idol groups, especially those this established, are allowed to take. And yet, SEVENTEEN is producing chart-friendly hits that aren't afraid to be complex, strange, or vulnerable. What Is SEVENTEEN's Real Superpower? SEVENTEEN has always understood the power of narrative. But instead of leaning on mystery or mythology like many idol groups, they leaned into transparency. Through YouTube reality series like GOING SEVENTEEN and Debut Big Plan, fans (affectionately known as CARATs) have watched the members grow up - bickering, failing, celebrating and changing. This access, paired with the group's input into everything from set design to vocal mixing, means their story feels authored by them. More impressively, SEVENTEEN has sidestepped the common K-pop trap of becoming a brand before becoming people. Their personalities, from Seungkwan's variety show genius to Jeonghan's gentle chaos to The8's philosophical art-boy aura, aren't scripted archetypes. They're human. And that realness is a form of reinvention in an industry that often insists on perfection. The Power Of 13 SEVENTEEN is one of the rare groups whose size never felt like a gimmick. If anything, it gave them the tools for something more cinematic. Their choreography is an exercise in precision and spectacle - think kaleidoscopic formations, visual metaphors and dance breaks that feel like short films. In Don't Wanna Cry, the members move like streetlights and shadows. In My My, their bodies become ocean waves. The choreography isn't just technically impressive. It's narrative. And that's because the performance unit, under Hoshi's lead, doesn't choreograph to fill time. They choreograph to say something. That's what makes SEVENTEEN performances feel less like concerts and more like art installations, designed to be watched and rewatched with new meaning each time. The Future Isn't A Rebrand, It's A Reinforcement At ten years, most idol groups either rebrand to stay afloat or settle into nostalgia. SEVENTEEN has done neither. Instead, they've reinforced who they've always been: hyper-collaborative, fiercely creative and impossible to copy. The industry has caught up to them in some ways, and self-producing idols are no longer anomalies. But none have done it quite like SEVENTEEN. And none have lasted this long while doing it their way. As they enter their second decade, SEVENTEEN isn't just rewriting K-pop's rules. They're rewriting its rhythm - one beat, one verse, one vision at a time. And if you're still wondering why they're called SEVENTEEN, here's your answer: because being more than the sum of your parts isn't a contradiction. It's the whole point.
