Korean Press Shares βProofβ That Kim Soo Hyunβs βPΙdophilicβ KakaoTalk Messages To Kim Sae Ron Are Fake
An investigation revealed significant discrepancies.
On October 5, 2025 (KST), South Korean news outlet Money Today claimed in an exclusive report that parts of the KakaoTalk messages between actors Kim Soo Hyun and the late Kim Sae Ronβmade public by the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute and since deemed βpΙdophilicβ by netizensβappear to have been fabricated.
Money Today confirmed, based on their investigation, that on April 2, 2018, when Kim Soo Hyun was said to have messaged Kim Sae Ron, the actor was actually still on base in his military unit and not on leave.
In the screenshot of the messages allegedly exchanged on that day, as shared by the late actressβs family via Garo Sero Research Institute, Kim Soo Hyun supposedly tells Kim Sae Ron that he misses her.

Everyone has so much energy, heh. Sigh, I want to see Saero-Mero soon.
[1:48 pm] Kim Sae Ron: When are we meeting up?
[1:49 pm] Kim Soo Hyun: We said on Thursday (April 5), heh. With the script! I want to see you now, though.
[1:56 pm] Kim Sae Ron: Without the script, since the drama got cancelled. So itβll just be me. When will your treatment be over today?
[1:57 pm] Kim Soo Hyun: Oh, LOL. I see. γ

Today, Iβll be going to the hospital, then eating dinner, then going to work out, so around 9 pm?
The messages were deemed inappropriate, as Kim Sae Ron was a 17-year-old high school sophomore in 2018. The bereaved family and Garo Sero Research Institute used this screenshot, along with others, to slam Kim Soo Hyun for having been in a relationship with Kim Sae Ron as a minor between 2015 and 2021.
