Amidst the tension, South Korean singer-song writer-rapper WOODZ (real name - Cho Seung-youn) is getting dragged in to the heated conversation over his alleged romantic involvement with the late actress? Did Kim Sae Ron really date WOODZ in the past? Kpop idol's agency finally breaks silence on the same. Read on...

Kim Soo-hyun Dating Controversy: YouTuber Lee Jin-ho's Alleged 'Evidence' On Kim Sae-ron & WOODZ Dating Rumours

It all started with YouTuber Lee Jin Ho's latest YouTube video in which he hinted at late Kim Sae-ron's past relationship with a singer in the early 2020s amidst the scandal with Kim Soo Hyun. While the YouTuber didn't take any name, he indeed shared evidence, a picture of a coffee truck which was apparently sent by the actress to her then-bf while he was shooting for a music video. Even though the picture was blurred, netizens were smart enough to dig out old pictures and matched the photo to an unedited old picture of WOODZ, a third generation K-pop idol. For those unversed, Lee Jin Ho has been banned by the court to share any video related to Kim Sae Ron.

As reported by Koreaboo, Lee Jin Ho claimed in his video, "First, I received a tip that Kim Sae Ron was actually involved with another celebrity, and not Kim Soo Hyun, in 2016. The tip was highly credible, and through it, I was able to understand the situation at that time.

I focused on investigating the two celebrities who were suspected of having been involved with her. However, there was a problem: while there were claims and statements, there was no decisive evidence. There were instances where Kim Sae Ron directly mentioned these individuals to her friends, saying that they were in a relationship, and this was corroborated by the records. (sic)"

He was seen further adding, "First, this case isn't only about Kim Sae Ron, but also about the past relationships of Kim Soo Hyun. Upon investigation, it was confirmed that Kim Soo Hyun was in a romantic relationship with someone else during that period. This relationship lasted from 2016 until the end of his military service in 2019, lasting for nearly three years.

Although Kim Soo Hyun kept this relationship secret to avoid causing harm to the other person, his close friends knew just how deeply involved he was with this partner. Contrary to the claims made in the 2018 'Chicken Stew' video, Kim Soo Hyun was still in this relationship at that time. (sic)" In the video, Jin Ho also claimed that Sae-ron's DUI incident was allegedly a result of her break up with the kpop idol. He claimed that she went out with her friends for drinks after parting ways with WOODZ.
