Over the past few days, the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute has shared pictures and evidence of the alleged relationship between the late actress Kim Sae-ron and actor Kim Soo-hyun. This has sparked a wave of backlash against the top K-drama actor, with several brands pulling out of deals with him.
According to the channel, Kim Sae-ron’s mother has decided against releasing any more photos of her daughter and Kim Soo-hyun related to the scandal. Why you may ask? This decision came after GOLD MEDALIST released a statement regarding Kim Soo-hyun.
Garosero Research Institute claims to have more photos
During a recent livestream, reporter-turned-YouTuber Kim Se Ui (also known as Kim Say) hinted at the existence of “really bad photos and videos” allegedly proving Kim Soo-hyun’s inappropriate relationship with Kim Sae-ron.

When viewers urged him to share more, Kim Se Ui claimed he had “a photo of someone doing the dishes, naked, at his girlfriend’s house.”
“I plan to reveal a new photo every day, one by one. If Kim Soo-hyun’s statement next week turns out to be bullsh*t, I’ll release three of the really bad photos and videos I have… Just know that I have a photo of someone doing the dishes, naked, at his girlfriend’s house. Haha,” he said.
GOLD MEDALIST’s statement
On March 14, 2025 (KST), Kim Soo-hyun released an official statement through his agency, GOLD MEDALIST, asserting that he and Kim Sae-ron only began dating after she reached adulthood. The statement also addressed how the ongoing rumors have affected the actor’s mental health.

Kim Sae-ron’s mother reportedly chose not to release any more photos. Kim Se Ui admitted he is trying to persuade her but remains mindful of her concerns. “I’m working on convincing Kim Sae-ron’s parents. If Kim Soo-hyun dares to show his face on TV again, I’ll release the naked dishwashing photo. But the bereaved family is worried that Kim Soo-hyun might make a drastic decision. That’s the tricky part about situations like these… I can’t go against their wishes and release what they gave me,” Kim Se Ui explained.
Kim Sae-ron’s mother also voiced her fear that further revelations might push Kim Soo-hyun into “choosing to do something extreme” — a phrase commonly associated with suicide in Korea.
“Today… Kim Sae-ron’s mother told me she’s decided against releasing some of the more shocking photos, including the dishwashing one. After reading his statement about being mentally unstable, she said she’s genuinely worried about him and fears he might choose to do something extreme. This shows the kind of people the bereaved family of the late Kim Sae-ron are,” Kim Se Ui added.
