Kim Sae Ron-WOODZ Dating Rumors Spark Online Debate; Edam Entertainment Says It’s A ‘Personal Matter’

Amid resurfaced speculation surrounding a possible past relationship between singer WOODZ (Cho Seung-youn) and late actress Kim Sae Ron, the artist’s agency has issued an official response, maintaining that the matter is personal and not subject to confirmation. In a statement released on April 13 through multiple South Korean media outlets, including Xportsnews, EDAM Entertainment addressed public interest in the dating rumors, stating: “Because this pertains to (the artist’s) personal life, it’s difficult for us to confirm. We ask for your understanding in this regard.”

Where Did The Rumours Start From?

The rumors initially gained renewed attention after YouTuber Lee Jin-ho, known for discussing celebrity news and controversies, claimed in a video that Kim Sae Ron had dated a well-known male singer between 2021 and 2022. Though the YouTuber did not name the individual, online speculation quickly linked the claims to WOODZ. Internet users began analyzing past interactions between the two celebrities, pointing to social media activity, such as WOODZ’s likes on Kim’s Instagram posts, a coffee truck reportedly sent by Kim Sae Ron to a filming set where WOODZ was working, and past photos of them together.

WOODZ, a former member of the groups UNIQ and X1, is currently serving his mandatory military service, which began in October 2023. He has remained out of the public spotlight since his enlistment, though he continues to trend occasionally due to his music and past work as both an idol and a solo artist.

The recent attention also comes at a time of intense media scrutiny following the death of Kim Sae Ron, who passed away at her home in Seoul on February 16, 2024, at the age of 24. The tragedy reignited numerous controversies involving her life and relationships, including allegations that she had a relationship with actor Kim Soo-hyun while she was still underage.

Kim Soo-hyun has publicly denied those allegations, stating at a recent press conference that he and Kim Sae Ron had only dated briefly after she became an adult, between 2019 and 2020. He also refuted any suggestion that he had contributed to her mental distress or financial burdens prior to her death.

As for WOODZ, EDAM Entertainment has reiterated its position of non-disclosure regarding matters of a personal nature, urging the public to respect the artist’s privacy and avoid further speculation.
