Dispatch Exposes GOLD MEDALIST, Alleges Kim Soo Hyun And Kim Sae Ron Indeed Dated Each Other + More

Dispatch has stepped into the massive Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron issue, providing more alleged proof and raising allegations against not only Kim Soo Hyun but also his label, GOLD MEDALIST!

Until now, the only media channel that touched the story of both was Garo Sero, which is known for being a cyber wrecker channel with questionable reputation. However, that channel alleges Kim Sae Ron’s aunt is the one bringing in information. The channel also explains no Korean media outlet wanted to touch this because of how massive Kim Soo Hyun is, but they’re doing so for free and will expose him.

And now Dispatch has stepped into the conversation providing even more context, sharing conversations they’ve had with GOLD MEDALIST reps and more. Let us go through the summary of their points:

Certified Document

In March 2024, Gold Medalist sent a certified document to Kim Sae Ron regarding debt repayment.
The document demanded that she repay the compensation fee that the agency had paid on her behalf.

“You borrowed 686,409,653 won from our client on November 22, 2022, with a repayment deadline of December 31, 2023. However, you have not repaid the loan even though the deadline has passed. (Excerpt)”

Gold Medalist warned that if the full amount (700 million won or $480,000) was not repaid soon, they would take civil and criminal legal action.

Kim Sae Ron sends SOS

Kim Sae Ron had no financial means at the time.
Her lawyer stated during the first trial: “Kim Sae Ron has been supporting her family as the breadwinner. Due to compensation payments, she is experiencing financial difficulties.”
Kim Sae Ron was Gold Medalist’s first signed celebrity.
When her contract renewal failed, she likely assumed the 700 million won issue was implicitly settled.
Dispatch alleges The demand for full payment and legal threats were more than pressure—they were fear-inducing.
In desperation, she turned to Kim Soo Hyun, her alleged former boyfriend, for help.

Dispatch says Kim Sae Ron was Ignored

Dispatch confirmed the alleged validity of the text message Kim Sae Ron sent to Kim Soo Hyun on March 24, 2024. Dispatch says Kim Soo Hyun never replied. In response, Kim Sae Ron posted old photos of them together—an indirect way of asking for his attention.

Gold Medalist’s Response to Dispatch for all of this

Gold Medalist told Dispatch: “Considering Kim Sae Ron’s situation, we decided not to collect the debt.”

However, Dispatch notes this contradicts their previous actions. Kim Sae Ron’s financial situation had not changed. The only thing that changed was Kim Soo Hyun’s side, after the photo was posted.

After her tragic death, Dispatch asked Gold Medalist about the debt issue again.

Gold Medalist responded:
“The production company of ‘Bloodhounds’ claimed 700 million won in damages due to her DUI incident. The agency initially paid it on her behalf.”

Why was the certified document sent? Dispatch asked

Gold Medalist: “We never intended to collect the money. But for legal reasons, we had to follow standard procedures to avoid embezzlement issues.”

Did they inform Kim Sae Ron that it was just a formality?

Gold Medalist: “Her manager at the time likely explained this to her. We needed documentation.”

Kim Sae Ron seemed distressed over the certified document.

Gold Medalist: “When we lent her the money, we told her that we wouldn’t force her to repay it. We just said, ‘Pay it back when you have financial stability.’”

Dispatch notes the Contradictions of Gold Medalist

“There is a stark contrast between Gold Medalist’s statements and Kim Sae Ron’s actions. Kim Sae Ron appeared genuinely pressured by the certified document. Her desperate text to Kim Soo Hyun suggests she was unaware it was only a “formal” process,” Dispatch writes in their report.

Dispatch also asked the agency how much Sae Ron managed to pay back.

Gold Medalist:
“Her car was unsalvageable, so it was sold as a used vehicle for about 35 million KRW. Beyond that, we didn’t take any more money from her.”

Dispatch confirmed that Kim Sae Ron actively tried to handle her debts.

For example, she used profits from investments in ‘Golden S’ to pay compensation for canceled advertising contracts. In total, she managed to collect around 200 million won to pay back. Gold Medalist was allegedly aware that she had no more money left.

Apartment & Witnesses of Kim Sae Ron prior to her passing

On the day of Kim Sae Ron’s death, Dispatch visited her residence.
They interviewed a neighbor.

“I realized it was Kim Sae Ron after reading the news. I remember her because she often cried on the apartment staircase.”

Did you ever see her?

Neighbor:
“She moved in February 2023 on a one-year lease. I heard she was supposed to move out on February 18.”

Any interactions with her?

Neighbor:
“I saw her sitting on the stairs, crying. I felt sorry for her and comforted her a few times. She seemed to have personal struggles.”
The neighbor also mentioned seeing scars on her wrists.

“There were visible scars around her wrists. I thought, ‘This young woman must have had a really tough life.’ At the time, I didn’t even know she was an actress. I just assumed she was living in Seoul with her younger sister.”

Dispatch alleges Kim Soo Hyun indeed dated Kim Sae Ron but will never admit it

Dispatch says they found multiple sources confirming their relationship. A source allegedly close to Kim Soo Hyun said: “Their age gap was a problem, so they could never publicly acknowledge it.” Their relationship was an open secret.

Yet, the agency dismissed it as “false” and “groundless.” This resulted in Kim Sae Ron being labeled as having staged a “self-made dating scandal.”

The agency is yet to respond to this new report.

Its important to note that Dispatch is also receiving backlash for allegedly knowing of this information and sitting on it and considering their prior coverage of Kim Sae Ron, many are also criticizing them for their reporting on her.

Despite that and despite Dispatch’s varying credibility level by fans’ standards, considering how big they are, their report is causing even more havoc on Kim Soo Hyun as the news and their report is one of the top trending articles on Naver.
