CEO Of Kim Soo Hyun’s Company, Gold Mendalist, Resigns Amid Actor’s Legal Disputes
Former Gold Medalist CEO Ahn Sung Soo has reportedly left the company. According to the South Korean media outlet Ten Asia, Ahn Sung Soo stepped down from his position two months ago. Ahn Sung Soo has previously accompanied Kim Soo Hyun during his now infamous press conference held on March 31st, where the actor broke down in tears.
Sung Soo’s position has now been filled by a senior executive who previously worked in the financial sector. Ahn, who joined the company earlier this year, has resigned after working in it for about nine months. Ahn’s departure and the change in management come while the legal dispute between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron’s family is still ongoing.
Prior to the actor’s scandal coming to public light, a person named ‘A’, who had served as CEO of Gold Medalist previously, was the individual who handled negotiations related to compensation for damages following Kim Sae Ron’s DUI incident. Reports allege that A understood Kim Sae Ron’s circumstances and, despite not recovering the loaned funds, tried to help the late actress.
