Gold Medalist, the agency representing the highest-paid South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun, has released a lengthy statement addressing the swirling controversy over his alleged past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron.

The company clarified that Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron dated between summer 2019 and fall 2020, after she became an adult, contradicting the claim that their relationship began in 2016 when she was a minor.

As the claims gained traction, businesses in South Korea have been scrambling to pull down advertisements featuring Kim Soo-hyun amid the backlash, distancing themselves from him.

金秀賢是韓國片酬最高的演員之一，他所屬的經紀公司Gold Medalist今日發布了一篇長文聲明，正面回應金秀賢與已故女演員金賽綸過往戀情的爭議風波。

該公司澄清，金秀賢和金賽綸在2019年夏季至2020年秋季期間交往，當時金賽綸已成年。這與此前傳言二人關系始于2016年金賽綸未成年時期的說法相矛盾。

隨著傳言說法越來越令人信服，在反對聲潮中，眾多韓國企業匆忙撤下有關金秀賢的廣告，試圖與他劃清界限。
