Kim Sae-ron's family claimed on March 10, through far-right political YouTube channel Hoverlab, that actor Kim Soo-hyun had dated their daughter for six years, beginning when she was 15 years old. The YouTube channel has since released photographs and videos allegedly taken during their relationship.

Goldmedalist initially denied the accusations. It later admitted that the two had been in a relationship but claimed it had not begun before Kim Sae-ron turned 19.
