Kim Soo-hyun on dating Kim Sae-ron

Kim Soo-hyun revealed that he dated the late actress for a year four years ago and admitted that he had struggled to acknowledge the rumors about their relationship during that time.

He said, "I am sorry for causing so much pain to many people. I also feel sad that the deceased seems unable to rest in peace. The deceased and I dated for about one year, four years ago, before the 'Queen of Tears' aired. At that time, I denied the rumours."

The actor added, "I understand why people have criticised this and don't trust what happened between us. Except for the fact that both of us were actors, our relationship was like any other ordinary couple. We dated with good feelings, and after some time, we broke up. After that, we couldn’t stay in touch the way we used to. Like any other couple, reaching out to an ex after a breakup is something one must approach with caution," he shared.

Kim Sae-ron was found dead at her residence in Seoul on February 16. According to the Seongdong Police, her death was ruled a suicide.
