Rumors of Two-Timing in the Spotlight
Recent reports from the Chinese media, particularly Sina, have suggested that renowned actor Kim Soo-hyun is allegedly involved in a complicated romantic situation, purportedly dating both Kim Sae-ron and idol Ahn So-hee, a former member of the Wonder Girls. This speculation took off following claims from Garo Sero Institute that Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron were in a relationship for six years, commencing in 2015. Coincidentally, that very same year, rumors also circulated regarding a secret romance between Kim Soo-hyun and Ahn So-hee.

A blog post from a Chinese influencer suggested that during her supposed relationship with Kim Soo-hyun, Ahn So-hee was excessively cautious, avoiding opening her curtains for fear of being photographed. There was even a social media commentary from a curtain shop employee, claiming that Kim Soo-hyun had made a special order for blackout curtains, emphasizing that no light should penetrate. Eventually, Ahn So-hee relocated and mentioned in a vlog the joy of being able to open her curtains and bask in natural light. This revelation was interpreted by some as a subtle indication of her breakup with Kim Soo-hyun, implying that she no longer felt the need to conceal her private life.
The gossip surrounding Kim Soo-hyun’s alleged double romance sparked considerable interest across social platforms, landing at the top of trending topics on Weibo. The mixed variety of responses among netizens included criticism directed at the actor.
Investigating the Facts: Rumors vs. Reality
Shortly afterward, leading entertainment platforms like Sina, Sohu, 163, and iFeng issued alerts regarding the rampant spread of misinformation about Kim Soo-hyun’s personal life.
Sohu emphasized that the accusation of Kim Soo-hyun being a “two-timer”lacks reliable evidence and appears to have been generated for sensationalism. Both Kim Soo-hyun and Ahn So-hee have publicly denied any romantic ties since the onset of these dating rumors in 2015. Moreover, the claims are predominantly speculative without any confirmed evidence that Kim Soo-hyun actually procured curtains for personal reasons linked to these alleged relationships.

This situation underscores a vital opportunity for netizens to engage in meticulous fact-checking, remain cautious about rumor dissemination, and refrain from making unfounded assumptions that could lead to unwarranted attacks on individuals.

Furthermore, 163 highlighted that not only Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron, but countless other celebrities have faced unjust scrutiny amid the controversy involving the Queen of Tears star, including Seo Ye-ji, Choi Hyun-wook, and Kim Ji-won.

Notably, Choi Hyun-wook was rumored to be the celebrity who accompanied Kim Sae-ron during her recent drunk-driving incident. However, subsequent reports from Korean media clarified that the person beside Kim Sae-ron at the time was a non-celebrity woman who has since faced legal repercussions.
