Actor Kim Soo-Hyun has recently landed in trouble after his past relationship with late actress Kim Sae-Ron came into the limelight. The actor faced some serious allegations, including that he dated Sae-Ron when she was 15.

However, Kim Soo-Hyun's upcoming K-drama is now at risk of being delayed or even cancelled due to recent controversy. The upcoming Disney+ K-drama, Knock Off, has already completed half of the filming and now the project's future remains uncertain. The drama co-stars Jo Bo-Ah alongside Kim Soo-Hyun.

For the unaware, Kim Sae-Ron was found dead at her apartment in Seoul on February 16, 2025. The actress’ death fueled several controversies, especially after Soo-Hyun decided to ditch the actress’ funeral.

However, the speculations recently doubled after a phone conversation between YouTuber Kim Se-Ui and Kim Sae-Ron’s alleged aunt went viral on social media. According to the phone call, Kim Sae-Ron and Kim Soo-Hyun started dating each other in 2015.
