Popular South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun, who is also said to be the highest-paid actor, has landed himself under the scanner over his past relationship with late actress Kim Sae-ron when she was a 'minor'.

The resurfacing of journalist Kim Yong Ho’s past reports on Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron’s alleged relationship, along with new claims from Kim Sae Ron’s mother, adds fuel to the ongoing controversy.

Kim Soo-hyun is accused of being involved in an alleged underage dating scandal involving the late actress Kim Sae-ron. The late actress' aunt has previously threatened to leak Soo-hyun's private photos.
