G-Dragon likes Gold Medalist statement clearing "Underage Relationship" allegations against Kim Soo Hyun

G-Dragon has drawn public attention after it was revealed on May 28 that he liked a social media post containing an official statement from Gold Medalist, the agency representing actor Kim Soo Hyun.

The post, released on May 27, addressed allegations raised by the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute, which had claimed various suspicions involving Kim Soo Hyun. According to the agency, those claims were found to be untrue following investigative findings. Gold Medalist stated that all allegations and evidence presented by Garosero Research Institute were confirmed to be false, adding gratitude to fans who continued to support the actor during the controversy.

G-Dragon’s like quickly spread across online communities, drawing renewed attention to his connection with Kim Soo Hyun. According to reports, Kim Soo Hyun reportedly began practicing meditation during a difficult period caused by widespread rumors, and G-Dragon, known to be close to him, was said to have personally introduced him to a meditation center.

This is not the first time G-Dragon has shown support for content related to Kim Soo Hyun. In March 2025, he also reacted positively to an overseas article referencing Kim Soo Hyun’s appearance on 'Good Day,' a program featuring multiple entertainers connected through G-Dragon’s circle.

The singer has long been known for his active engagement on social media. He has previously joked on television that he frequently presses like, saying he enjoys expressing support online in his own lighthearted way.

Meanwhile, the controversy surrounding Garosero Research Institute has intensified. Police reportedly concluded that multiple pieces of evidence presented by the channel, including alleged messages attributed to the late Kim Sae Ron, were fabricated or manipulated. Some audio files were also reported to have been generated or altered using AI technology. Authorities are said to have identified multiple instances of editing and manipulation in the materials presented by the channel’s representative, Kim Se Eui.

In light of these findings, court actions have reportedly included serious charges such as defamation and related offenses, with arrest warrants issued during the investigation phase.

Separately, Kim Soo Hyun’s side has consistently denied allegations that he was involved in an underage relationship with Kim Sae Ron, describing the claims as false from the outset.

The situation has also brought renewed attention to the broader professional and personal network around G-Dragon, including his attendance at Kim Soo Hyun’s listening event for his album 'Übermensch' and their participation in entertainment projects involving mutual acquaintances.

As legal proceedings and public scrutiny continue, the agency emphasized that Kim Soo Hyun had previously promised to prove his innocence and expressed gratitude that the investigation’s outcome aligned with that commitment. Fans have since shared mixed reactions online, with many focusing on the visible support between G-Dragon and Kim Soo Hyun during a highly publicized controversy.
