Grooming Since School

In this recording, Kim Sae Ron discusses her romantic involvement with Kim Soo Hyun, which reportedly began during her middle school years and continued until university. In the clip, Kim Sae Ron states she dated Kim Soo Hyun starting from her second year of middle school.

When queried by an acquaintance in the recording about the commencement of their physical relationship, Kim Sae Ron candidly admits that it started during her second year of middle school.
