In a recent revelation, Gold Medalist Entertainment has confirmed that renowned actor Kim Soohyun and actress Kim Saeron were in a relationship from the summer of 2019 to the autumn of 2020. The confirmation comes after speculation surrounding their past romance intensified following the release of private photos by Kim Saeron and the Garosero Research Institute.

The agency clarified that Kim Soohyun and Kim Saeron began dating after Kim Saeron became an adult, dismissing any rumors suggesting that their relationship started when she was still a minor. “Kim Soohyun and Kim Saeron dated from the summer of 2019 to the autumn of 2020, after Kim Saeron became an adult.
