This article is part of our in-depth coverage of the relationship between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron. You can explore the complete timeline here.
Recent reports from Money Today have unveiled a notable detail about the late actress Kim Sae Ron: she was in a relationship with a well-known idol, referred to as “A,” back in 2018. This revelation comes amidst discussions about her past romantic connections, which also includes her long-term relationship with actor Kim Soo Hyun from 2015 until 2021.
Notably, while Kim Sae Ron’s family has maintained that she dated Kim Soo Hyun exclusively during those years, some fans are raising eyebrows over the timelines, suggesting that her relationship with “A” overlaps with her time with the popular actor. It seems that Kim Sae Ron and “A” experienced a brief breakup in 2019, only to rekindle their romance in early to mid-2022, during a tough phase for Kim Sae Ron related to her drunk driving incident. Reports indicate that “A” provided significant financial support during this challenging period.
Kim Sae Ron appeared to be open about her relationship, referring to “A” as her boyfriend to friends. Although they parted ways in 2023, they reportedly maintained contact until last year.
“Kim Sae Ron continued to meet with ‘A’ as a friend even after they broke up. This information is being shared to clarify the timing of her relationship with Kim Soo Hyun. We have no intention of infringing on his privacy.”

There were some rumors suggesting that one of her former partners was part of a well-known seven-member idol group; however, these claims have been debunked.
In response to these developments, Kim Sae Ron’s representatives stated through the Garo Sero Research Institute’s YouTube channel that her relationship with Kim Soo Hyun began in late 2015, when she was still in middle school, and lasted until July 2021. They referenced text messages Kim Sae Ron allegedly sent to acquaintances as proof of this timeline.
However, it appears there are discrepancies in this narrative. It’s been suggested that she also dated singer WOODZ from 2021 to 2022, alongside her involvement with “A.” Furthermore, she had other relationships in 2016 and 2018, adding layers of complexity to her dating history. Interestingly, Kim Soo Hyun reportedly dated an idol-turned-actress from 2016 to 2019, distancing him from the claims surrounding Kim Sae Ron.
“The authenticity of the 2016 text messages between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron provided by the bereaved family remains unverified.”
Moreover, Kim Soo Hyun’s team has requested that the bereaved family submit original evidence for digital forensics, but so far, no response has been received. Fans remain curious about the truth behind these intertwined relationships, as more details continue to unfold.
