Gold Medalist, the agency representing actor Kim Soo-hyun, has firmly rebuffed swirling speculations regarding a romantic involvement between Kim Soo-hyun and actress Kim Sae-ron. "We have no idea what Ms. Kim Sae-ron’s intent is with this action," the agency stated, addressing the recent controversy.
The rumors ignited on early Sunday when Kim Sae-ron, aged 23, shared a photo on her Instagram account featuring herself and Kim Soo-hyun. Gold Medalist swiftly clarified that the image dated back to their shared tenure at the same agency, shedding light on the innocent nature of the photograph.
Yet, Kim Sae-ron's motive behind the abrupt posting and subsequent deletion of the photo remains undisclosed. The puzzling actions triggered a wave of criticism from the South Korean public, casting further shadows on the actress's once-glowing reputation.
Kim Sae-ron, previously hailed as one of the nation's adored talents, rose to prominence with her notable performance in the 2010 film "The Man from Nowhere." Portraying a pivotal role as a child actor at the age of nine, she displayed promising potential alongside star Won Bin. However, her trajectory towards stardom faced a sharp downturn following a drunk driving incident nearly two years ago, leading to a significant fall from grace in the eyes of the public.
In a narrative that once brimmed with promise, Kim Sae-ron's recent actions serve as poignant reminders of the precarious nature of fame and the swift tides of public opinion.
