Past allegations surrounding Gold Medalist, the agency currently in conflict with the late Kim Sae Ron’s family, have resurfaced. A former employee has claimed that Seo Ye Ji was a victim of the company and that Kim Sae Ron was aware of critical information regarding the agency’s misconduct.

An individual claiming to be a former Gold Medalist employee, referred to as A, previously wrote in the comment section of a YouTube video, “Four years ago, I worked at Gold Medalist but was fired after leaking crucial information about Seo Ye Ji to two media outlets. However, the reporters did not publish the information because Lee Sa Rang (Kim Soo Hyun’s cousin and the agency’s founder) instructed them not to, fearing it would damage the company’s reputation.”

A further alleged, “There were many issues caused by Kim Soo Hyun and his cousin Lee Sa Rang, but Seo Ye Ji was used as a scapegoat. Some of the negative claims about her actually originated within the company.”

A also stated, “Gold Medalist even paid people to lie about Seo Ye Ji. The accusations that she was rude to staff were fabricated, and the agency paid individuals to spread these false claims. A company employee also created the false story that she committed school violence, and Lee Sa Rang ordered journalists to spread those lies.”

A claimed that Seo Ye Ji re-signed with Gold Medalist because she trusted Kim Soo Hyun, but in the end, she was exploited while the agency profited.

The former employee also mentioned Kim Sae Ron, stating, “She knows important facts. I want to send this message to her parents: If you find Kim Sae Ron’s pink-covered journal, you will uncover more truths about what happened between her and Kim Soo Hyun.”

A concluded by stating, “Her parents don’t need to worry. Gold Medalist will end up exposing themselves without even realizing it.”

This comment was written before Kim Sae Ron’s passing. According to her family, she had regularly kept a journal, and its cover was indeed pink, aligning with A’s claims.

Seo Ye Ji signed an exclusive contract with Gold Medalist in 2019 but faced significant backlash after the Kim Jung Hyun gaslighting controversy. She left the company in November 2023 and is now under Sublime Artist Agency.

With rumors linking her to Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron’s alleged relationship, Seo Ye Ji directly addressed the speculation. On March 13th, she wrote on her fan café, “I have absolutely no connection with him (Kim Soo Hyun) or his cousin (Lee Sa Rang). I don’t even understand why I have to explain this.”
