South Korean actress Kim Sae-ron's death has opened a can of worms for K-drama superstar Kim Soo Hyun. After the late actress' family claimed that Soo Hyun dated her when she was a minor and exploited her, the latter denied. But now, a new video has surfaced online showing the two sharing a private cosy moment.
Hours after Soo Hyun's agency Gold Medalist denied any relationship between the actor and Sae-ron, Garosero Research Institute released a video clip allegedly showing Soo Hyun giving Sae-ron a back massage using a device. In the video, which seems to be from the actress' residence, also shows her asking, "Are you filming me?"
Post releasing the video, Garosero Research Institute warned Kim Soo Hyun and his agency that more such videos, this time showing the actor's face, would be released online if he does not issue a public apology to Sae-ron's bereaved family.
Soo Hyun and his agency, Gold Medalist, are yet to react to the video.
What is the Kim Sae-ron & Kim Soo Hyun scandal?
Sae-ron died by suicide at her Seoul residence on February 16. Post her funeral, members of her family claimed that Soo Hyun was in a relationship with the late actress when he was in his 30s and she was only 15. They also accused the superstar of pressurising her to repay a 700 million won penalty, which pushed her to the brink of helplessness and depression.
However, the Queen of Tears star's agency denied all the claims, and added that though personal pictures and letters were shared, Soo Hyun never dated Sae-ron when she was a minor.
But later, messages exchanged between Sae-ron and Soo Hyun back in 2018 surfaced online, in which the latter was seen asking the former to delete all their chats on KakaoTalk and use Telegram to get in touch with him instead.
