Kim Soo Hyun‘s agency Gold Medalist has denied allegations of sabotaging Seo Ye Ji.
On March 18th, the agency issued a statement refuting claims made by HoverLab Inc, a YouTube channel, which alleged that Gold Medalist had colluded with the media to tarnish Seo Ye Ji’s reputation. “These claims are completely baseless and rely on an anonymous informant,” the statement read. “Even the former manager who handled Seo Ye Ji at the time—who has since left the company—was so taken aback by these allegations that they reached out to us. We ask that you stop spreading false information that has no basis or accountability.”
Recently, a person claiming to be a former Gold Medalist employee “A” wrote in a YouTube video comment that Seo Ye Ji was used as a scapegoat to cover up issues involving Kim Soo Hyun and his cousin, Lee Love. “Some of the negative stories about Seo Ye Ji were actually leaked from within the company,” the comment alleged. “The company deliberately spread false information about her to hide their own problems. Even the claims that she was rude to staff were fabricated—and they even paid people to spread those rumors.” The comment has since been deleted.
Adding fuel to the fire, Seo Ye Ji posted a screenshot of a comment from a fan on her fan café. The fan wrote, “Did you cheat on Kim Soo Hyun? Don’t disappoint us. I just saw the news on TikTok.” In response, Seo Ye Ji shared her frustration, writing, “My dear YeYe (nickname for her fans), I am human too. I feel overwhelmed, exhausted, sad, and suffocating, and I’ve endured over and over again,” adding, “I have no relationship whatsoever with him and his brother. I don’t know why I have to explain this, but today I feel quite frustrated.”
Meanwhile, Kim Soo Hyun has faced allegations that he dated Kim Sae Ron for about 6 years starting from 2016 when she was a minor. Rumors have emerged in some quarters that “Kim Soo Hyun dated Kim Sae Ron, and Seo Ye Ji dated Lee Love.” Lee Love is known as Kim Soo Hyun’s cousin, but industry sources say he is actually his stepbrother. He directed the film Real (2017) starring Kim Soo Hyun using the pseudonym Lee Sarang.
Seo Ye Ji joined Gold Medalist in 2019 and left after 4 years in 2023. Gold Medalist was established by the Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Love brothers.
