Welcome to another edition of SB Week in Review. Here’s all the news you might have missed over the past week:

Headlines

Singer Weesung was found unresponsive in his apartment on March 10 and later pronounced dead. Our deepest condolences to his family and fans. The far-right YouTube account Hoverlab came forward with allegations that actor Kim Soo-hyun had been in a relationship with the late actor Kim Sae-ron when she was minor, their relationship beginning when she was 15 and he was 27. The relationship allegedly lasted seven years from 2015-2022. Kim Sae-ron was found dead in her apartment on February 16. She was 24 years old. Kim Soo-hyun, through both actors’ agency Gold Medalist, had repeatedly denied any romantic relationship between them since March 2024, after the late actor uploaded a now-deleted photo of them together. Gold Medalist initially said they would respond to the accusations in the coming week, but as photos and letters were released alongside family statements, the company issued a press release Friday. In it they confirmed that the actors had dated, but claimed the relationship began once she was a legal adult. They also denied any involvement of Kim Soo-hyun in the certified letter sent to Kim Sae-ron regarding her debt to their once-shared management company.Hoverlab has continued to release images of the couple, and the family has also issued a demand for an apology from the actor.
