After YouTuber Lee Jin Ho claimed that both Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun were dating different people—dismissing the dating timeline presented by GaroSero—a third-generation K-pop idol’s name suddenly popped up. According to the YouTuber, who referred to him as singer ‘A’ and even linked him to Sae Ron’s DUI case, the Bloodhounds star was allegedly dating the singer frequently between 2019 and 2022. After alleged evidence of coffee trucks being sent to filming sets and other details surfaced, online sleuths dug deeper and discovered a similar coffee cart that had been sent to solo artist WOODZ during one of his music video shoots. The connections quickly started to look clearer, and as pressure mounted, WOODZ’s agency, EDAM Entertainment, issued a brief statement.

To support his claim that the two were actually dating, he pointed to their social media activity—liking each other’s posts, sharing pictures, and even how Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, appeared to be aware of the relationship, as they arranged coffee trucks for them. In response, EDAM Entertainment issued a brief statement on the rumours, choosing not to confirm anything, which only fueled further confusion among fans. The company stated: “Since it is a private matter, we cannot verify it.” WOODZ is currently serving his mandatory military service.

Coffee trucks tied to Kim Soo Hyun draws attention This is not the first time a celebrity has been dragged into the Kim Sae Ron–Kim Soo Hyun controversy. Earlier, big names like IU, Park Seo Joon, Sulli, and BTS were also pulled in. Critics have been calling out the controversial YouTuber for tarnishing the late actor’s name by dragging in people and links that don’t hold anymore. Some suspect he is defending Soo Hyun as public opinion turns against the actor, though Jin Ho had earlier said he is not supporting him and if law proves him wrong, he will be accountable for the mistake. Despite being hit with a defamation lawsuit by Kim Sae Ron’s family, Jin Ho has continued to release videos on the matter.
