Recently, Chinese media outlet Sina reported that Kim Soo-hyun was suspected of two-timing – being simultaneously romantically involved with both Kim Sae-ron and idol Ahn So-hee (former Wonder Girls member). This speculation arose when Garo Sero Institute revealed that Kim Soo-hyun had allegedly dated Kim Sae-ron for 6 years, starting in 2015. That same year, reports emerged that Kim Soo-hyun and Ahn So-hee were secretly dating.
A Chinese blogger claimed that during her rumored relationship with Kim Soo-hyun, Ahn So-hee never dared to open her curtains for fear of being photographed. At the time, a curtain shop employee even commented on social media, stating that Kim Soo-hyun had personally ordered blackout curtains from them with strict instructions to “let no light in.” Some time later, Ahn So-hee moved to a new home and shared in a vlog that she could finally open her curtains and enjoy the sunlight. The Chinese blogger speculated that her statement subtly hinted at her breakup with Kim Soo-hyun, implying she no longer needed to hide.
The speculation that Kim Soo-hyun was dating Ahn So-hee and Kim Sae-ron at the same time thus caused a stir in China, even reaching the #1 trending spot on Weibo’s hot search. Many netizens left mixed comments, criticizing the actor.
However, soon after, top entertainment media outlets such as Sina, Sohu, 163, and iFeng issued warnings about the spread of fake news surrounding Kim Soo-hyun’s personal life.
According to Sohu, the claim that Kim Soo-hyun was “two-timing” is unreliable, lacking any concrete evidence to support its accuracy. It is highly likely that opportunists are spreading this rumor for “clickbait” purposes. In 2015, as soon as dating rumors arose, both Kim Soo-hyun and Ahn So-hee denied them. Furthermore, the accusation remains one-sided, with no verified proof that Kim Soo-hyun actually purchased curtains from the alleged source for personal dating purposes.

As controversies continue to escalate, the public is easily swayed by misinformation without verifying the facts. Therefore, Chinese media believe this is a crucial moment for netizens to practice responsible fact-checking, refrain from spreading unverified rumors, and avoid making baseless assumptions that fuel malicious attacks on anyone.
163 pointed out that not only Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron, but many other artists have been unfairly attacked amid the “Queen of Tears” actor’s controversy, including Seo Ye-ji, Choi Hyun-wook, and Kim Ji-won.
