Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kim Sehran's tragic passing left behind more questions than answers,
but one of the most shocking controversies to hit the
internet was her rumored relationship with Kim Sue hyun. What
started as whispers online quickly spiraled into full blown accusations
that became more controversial each day. So what's the truth
behind their alleged connection? Seyran's life was filled with controversy
(00:22):
until it came to a sudden and heartbreaking end on
February sixteenth of this year. A friend found her lifeless
at home, and by the time emergency responders arrived, it
was already too late. Authorities confirmed there were no signs
of criminal activity or forced entry, but given how much
hate she endured over the years, many believes she took
her own life. Unfortunately, even after her passing, discussions about
(00:43):
her life haven't faded. While the world continues to mourn,
Seyhan's aunt brought attention to her loss by holding her
alleged ex partner, a list actor, Kim Sue Hun responsible.
Long before her aunt was even in the picture, it
had been rumored that Sue Hun and Seyhron were seeing
each other. On March second, twenty twenty four, speculation began
(01:03):
circulating that the two were more than just acquaintances when
seyh Ron posted an Instagram story featuring a close up
of their faces pressed together. The post didn't stay up
for long, but netizens were quick to screenshot and spread it,
causing a frenzy online. Many believe the timing was suspicious,
accusing Sehran of trying to repair her tainted image by
associating herself with one of the most popular actors at
(01:25):
the time. After all, she was still dealing with the
fallout from her Dui incident, underage drinking scandal, and gambling rumors,
which had resulted in her being banned from KBS. Desperate
to fix her broken reputation, some speculated that she was
using Su Hun's star power to stir up attention. One
netisin even wrote, she needs to recover her image. This
is one hundred percent planned. She's trying to create some
(01:47):
buzz around her, and she's even ready to ruin her boyfriend.
Others pointed out that the photo seemed old, suggesting she
had posted it purely for attention, especially considering it coincided
with the release of the sixth episode of Queen of Tears,
the highly popular drama Suhyun was starring in at the time.
Those who believed the relationship was real had another theory.
(02:07):
Sehran was jealous of Suhyun's undeniable on screen chemistry with
kimj One and posted the picture as an act of revenge.
The situation escalated so quickly that Suhyun's team had no
choice but to step in and address the rumors, turning
an already messy situation into an even bigger scandal. The
same day this odd picture surfaced, Suhyan's agency Gold Medalist,
(02:30):
quickly stepped in to shut down the rumors. In an
official statement, they denied any romantic involvement between him and Seyhron,
calling the speculation completely unfounded. They also clarified that the
photo was old, likely taken when the two were under
the same agency, and expressed confusion over why Seyrn had
decided to post it. But while they seemed puzzled by
(02:51):
her intentions, they made one thing very clear. They wouldn't
hesitate to take legal action against defamatory remarks and malicious
comments that could damage Suhyan's reputation. Shortly after, an alleged
insider backed up the agency's claims confirming that the two
weren't dating and that the photo was from years ago. Still,
online forums were filled with speculation, and the majority of
(03:12):
commenters sided with su Hun. Many were convinced that Sehron
had posted the picture out of spite. Some even argued
that Suhun's agency should sue her for dragging his name
into controversy, claiming that if not for her post, you
wouldn't have been caught up in any of this. As
the internet debated her motives, Seheran announced that she was
preparing her own statement, but days passed and nothing was released. Then,
(03:34):
without warning, she backtracked completely, saying she had decided to
stay silent as she believed it was the best course
of action. This only fueled more speculation. Did she realize
the backlash was too strong and decided to back off,
or was there something behind the scenes stopping her from
speaking out. Regardless of her true motives, a lot of
people agreed that Seharan was a victim in this situation.
(03:56):
With a history of scandals following her, anything she did
was inside seen in a negative light. If she was
simply posting an innocent picture with a friend, or rumored boyfriend.
She was accused of trying to ruin his career, but
no one questioned why sue Jun had been in close
proximity to her in the first place. The real issue,
according to many, wasn't just the controversy surrounding the picture.
(04:17):
It was the disturbing age gap between them. To put
it into perspective, Seyron was born in two thousand, while
su Hyun is twelve years older. A social media user
even pointed out that the age difference between sue Jun
and Sehran's mother was smaller than the one between him
and Sehron herself. This sparked even more concern, with people
questioning how the two had even formed a connection in
(04:37):
the first place. While some argued that Sehron was an
adult and had the right to date whoever she wanted,
others found it strange that they had been close for years.
The two had known each other since Sehron was a child.
Their rumored relationship wasn't a new topic, either. Dating speculation
had followed them long before this scandal. Back in twenty seventeen,
during an interview with Ilgan's Sports Seyhirron was asked which
(05:00):
actors she wanted to work with. The most, and her
answer was Suhyun. Her response raised eyebrows when she playfully
noted that he was a zodiac cycle apart from her,
but that he lives rather youthfully anyway. Looking back, some
now wonder if this was just admiration or if there
was something deeper between them all along. The resurfaced photo
of Sehran and Suhyun in twenty twenty four didn't just
(05:21):
spark a scandal, It opened pandora's box. As Nettison scrambled
to piece together the timeline of their alleged relationship, past
rumors and even old interviews were dragged back into the spotlight,
making the situation look even worse. Controversial entertainment reporter Kim
Jong Ho had previously claimed that the two had been
romantically involved years ago. According to speculation, Seyran's decision to
(05:45):
join Gold Medalist, a startup agency at the time, was
linked to her connection with Suhyun. Given that she had
just left YG Entertainment, one of the biggest companies in
the industry, the move seemed suspicious to many. Why would
she go from a powerhouse agent to a newly established
company with only two actors. Some theorized that she had
joined because of su Hyun, further fueling suspicions that they
(06:08):
had been more than just colleagues. The alleged entanglement between Sehran,
su Hyun an actress Soyeji only added to the unease.
If the timeline speculated by netizens is true, Yegi had
dated su Hyun after her public breakup with actor Kim
Jung Hyun. The two reportedly got together while filming It's
Okay to Not Be Okay, but after their relationship ended,
(06:29):
things took a strange turn. Yeji allegedly moved on to
Suhun's cousin, who happened to be the CEO of Gold Medalist,
while su Hun supposedly began seeing Sehran. If this is true,
it means that when the photo of the two was taken,
Sehran was just nineteen while su Hyun was thirty one.
Not only would this mean that he was dating someone
barely out of high school, but as one of the
(06:51):
company's founders, the power imbalance in their dynamic was even
more unsettling. But the most disturbing revelation came from an
old interview that resurfaced in the middle of the con traversy,
making Nedison's question Su Hun's views on age gaps in relationships.
In twenty thirteen, during a special showcase for the movie
Be Covert, Be Great, he was asked about his future
(07:11):
marriage plans. His response was unsettling, to say the least.
Sue Hyun casually shared that he had already mapped out
his ideal marriage timeline when he was twenty four. His
plan was to marry at forty one to someone who
would be twenty one at the time. To make matters worse,
the MC on stage jokingly remarked that Sue Hun's future
wife was probably just a toddler at the time, even
(07:33):
laughing about how kindergartener's must be nervous. What was once
brushed off as a lighthearted joke now felt deeply uncomfortable.
In hindsight. The more people dug into his past statements
and rumored relationships, the harder it became to ignore the
disturbing patterns. The controversy surrounding his alleged connection with Sehran
wasn't just about a single Instagram post anymore. It was
(07:53):
about a much larger issue that had allegedly been hiding
in plain sight. For nedicons who followed the story of
this alleged relationship for years. Things finally fell into place
on March tenth, twenty twenty five, when Sehran's aunt came
forward with a shocking statement. Su Hyun allegedly started dating
Sehran at fifteen, and he was the reason she made
(08:13):
the drastic decision to take her own life. According to
an alleged interview for Garrosero Research Institute, Sehran's aunt claimed
that her niece and su Hun began dating in twenty fifteen,
when Sehran was only fifteen years old and he was
twenty seven. Their relationship allegedly lasted for six years until
twenty twenty one. The aunt further supported the claims that
(08:34):
Suhyun played a major role in shaping Cehran's career, influencing
her decision to leave YG Entertainment and join Gold Medalist,
the agency he co founded. Seyhran allegedly worked behind the
scenes helping establish the company by scouting and mentoring new talent,
all while believing she was supporting her supposed boyfriend's career.
But as their relationship came to an end, so did
(08:55):
her position within the agency. Things took a turn for
the worse. In twenty twenty two, when Seyhron's Dui scandal
made headlines. According to her aunt, Suhun and gold Medallist
initially offered to take care of the situation. They allegedly
paid about four hundred eighty three thousand dollars in damages
and assured say Ron that she wouldn't need to pay
it back. Grateful for the support, say Ron even confided
(09:16):
in her aunt, calling Suhyun a good guy and promising
to work hard to repay him anyway. But the real
nightmare began in twenty twenty four. It said that out
of nowhere, sey Ron was served a notice demanding she
paid back the full amount, something she never expected. Desperate
and confused, she tried reaching out to Suhun, only to
be met with complete silence. He reportedly ignored her calls,
(09:37):
even when she attempted to contact him using a family
member's phone. Her aunt alleged that instead of responding, Suhyun
gave reporters her cousin's phone number, leading to relentless media harassment.
Feeling cornered and betrayed, sey Ron made one last attempt
to get his attention. She posted the now infamous photo
of them together on Instagram, but instead of getting the
(09:58):
reaction she hoped for. Gold Medalist released an official statement
that painted her in a negative light, further isolating her.
With no way to pay off her debt and no
one left to turn to, Seyran's aunt believes this was
her niece's final straw. The most chilling detail her aunt
shared is that Sehran's passing on February sixteenth wasn't a coincidence.
She allegedly made sure to take her own life on
(10:20):
su Hun's birthday. This YouTube interview with Seyran's aunt caused
chaos to erupt all over the internet. It didn't take
long for Gold medalists to fire back with an official
statement firmly denying all accusations made in the Gotto Saro
Research Institute broadcast. The agency called the claims completely false
and announced that they were preparing to take the strongest
(10:42):
legal action possible against the YouTube channel for defamation. They
directly refuted every major point raised by Gottosaro Research Institute,
stating that su Hun had never been in a relationship
with Seyhron when she was a minor, that he had
no involvement in leaking her personal information, and that his
the agency's handling of her Dui scandal had been fair.
(11:03):
But the statement didn't just defend Suhyun. It also called
out Garrosero Research Institute for what Gold Medalists described as
a blatant attempt to exploit Seyhran's passing. They expressed their condolences,
emphasizing that they were deeply heartbroken over her passing, but
condemned the YouTube channel for spreading baseless rumors that they
(11:24):
claimed were nothing more than a repeat of the tormenting
Seyron had endured while she was alive. The agency accused
Garroserro Research Institute of using Seyron's tragedy for personal gain,
and insisted that such reckless speculation was harming both Suhyun
and Ceyhron's legacy. Garrosaro Research Institute was quick to respond
to Gold Medalist's statement, but instead of backing down, they
(11:46):
escalated their claims even further. In a post on their channel,
they mocked Suhyun and his agency for threatening legal action,
dismissing their response as meaningless. They even compared the situation
to BTS's past life lawsuit threats against them, sarcastically claiming
that those legal battles led nowhere and that sue Hyun
would suffer the same fate. But the most shocking part
(12:09):
of their response came when they announced that someone was
allegedly preparing to file an official report against Sue Hyun
for having an inappropriate explicit relationship with a minor. They
further criticized him for not attending Seyharon's funeral, pointing out
that even Wanbin, who had only worked with her once
in The Man from Nowhere, had shown up to pay
his respects. At this point, the Internet had split into
(12:31):
two camps, those who fully believed Sehran's aunt and Godasaro
Research Institute and those who found the entire situation deeply questionable.
The allegations were undeniably disturbing, but Gotto Setto Research Institute
itself is an extremely controversial source. The channel, run by
former NBC journalist Kim Sahui, has a long history of
inserting itself into celebrity scandals, often with sensationalized and unverified claims.
(12:56):
While its supporters argued that mainstream Korean news outlets were
too afraid to touch the story, others pointed out that
Gottoseerto had been caught spreading misinformation before, making it difficult
to determine what was true. Another factor that made people
question the credibility of Gottoso Research Institute is its clear
political bias. The channel is widely known for its far
right affiliations and strong support for former President yunsukyol, which
(13:20):
has led to accusations that it pushes certain narratives to
align with its ideological stance rather than prioritizing factual reporting.
Critics have warned that Gatto Sero has a history of
manipulating information and spreading conspiracy theories, making it one of
the most controversial platforms in South Korea's media landscape. Some
online users even pleaded with others not to elevate the channel,
(13:41):
arguing that regardless of how shocking the allegations were, Gaoserro
was not a reliable source. In the end, the truth
behind seyh Ron and Sue Hyun's alleged relationship remains full
of controversy, speculation, and potential lies. Maybe the real tragedy
isn't just the scandals or the unanswered questions. It's that
even in her passing, the world refuses to let her
(14:03):
rest
