On October 10th, the family of the late Kim Sae-ron claimed that she had been in a relationship with Kim Soo-hyun, who is 12 years her senior, for six years from 2015 to 2021, starting when she was a minor. Initially, Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, denied the dating allegations entirely. However, after photos of the two showing physical affection were released, the agency revised their statement, claiming that the relationship began after Kim Sae-ron became an adult and lasted for one year.
During the press conference, Kim Soo-hyun did not engage in any Q&A session regarding the various controversies.
