As rumors swirl around the late Kim Sae Ron’s past relationships, public attention has sharply turned to actor Kim Soo Hyun, not because of any new allegations against him but due to growing online backlash following YouTuber Lee Jin Ho’s latest video.

In the video, Lee Jin Ho claimed Kim Sae Ron had once dated a singer during the early 2020s, suggesting that she sent him a coffee truck while he was filming a music video. Though the truck’s image was blurred, netizens quickly matched the design to an unedited photo featuring WOODZ ( also known as Seungyoun), a third-generation K-Pop idol. While Lee Jin Ho didn’t name anyone, the visual clues led many to believe WOODZ may have been the alleged ex-boyfriend.

The alleged relationship was said to have occurred after Kim Sae Ron reached adulthood, from early 2021 to around May 2022. Despite the growing attention, WOODZ’s agency, EDAM Entertainment, has not released any official response. Media outlets, including EDaily, reported that repeated attempts to contact several representatives went unanswered.

• “That’s why the whole situation with WOODZ and Kim Sae Ron just seems like two adults dating briefly. But Kim Soo Hyun? He’s a grown-ass man who went after a minor, cheated on her, acted however he wanted, and then tried to intimidate her with money. It’s even funnier how people only compare one side of the story.”
• “WOODZ dated her after she became an adult, so what’s the problem?”
• “Why is the world so cruel?”
• “No matter how much this gets dragged out, Kim Soo Hyun’s image won’t change…”
• “All this just makes it clearer, WOODZ started dating her after she became an adult, but Kim Soo Hyun dated her when she was still a minor. So honestly, Kim Soo Hyun ends up looking way worse. I even Googled it, WOODZ was born in ‘96, so he’s only four years older than Kim Sae Ron. Kim Soo Hyun was born in ‘88, so there’s a 12-year age gap^^”
