Actor Kim Soo Hyun is reportedly facing severe psychological distress amid the ongoing controversy surrounding his past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron. His agency, Gold Medalist, disclosed that the actor is in a state of “extreme confusion and chaos” following accusations linking him to Kim Sae Ron’s tragic death.
In a formal statement released on March 14, the agency revealed that Soo Hyun’s mental health had sharply declined, prompting immediate measures to ensure his psychological stability. “Kim Soo Hyun exhibited sudden instability in his psychological health early this morning,” the statement read. “He has been experiencing extreme confusion and distress due to the recent allegations.”
The agency also addressed the invasive actions of media and onlookers, which have exacerbated the situation. “After the live broadcast on March 12, individuals with cameras were seen waiting in the company’s parking lot and near the building’s entrance. Similarly, on March 13, people with cameras were loitering around the building during lunchtime, further intensifying the psychological pressure on Kim Soo Hyun,” the statement added.
Gold Medalist previously confirmed that Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron had been in a relationship but clarified that it began only after she had reached adulthood. To address the escalating situation, the agency has proposed a private meeting with Kim Sae Ron’s mother, aiming for a resolution that honors the late actress’s memory while safeguarding the well-being of those involved. “We urge an end to public disputes and seek private dialogue,” the agency stated earlier.
Kim Soo Hyun remains under professional care as his agency continues to prioritize his mental health during this profoundly challenging period.
