New images of actors Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron have surfaced, adding further scrutiny to speculation about their past relationship.

The photos, released by Garo Sero Research Institute on Sunday, allegedly show the two on a ski trip together in 2018.

At the time, Kim Sae Ron was 18 years old.

The newly surfaced pictures depict Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron wearing ski goggles and winter gear.

In one image, they are seen posing for a Polaroid photo.

Another photo allegedly shows Kim Sae Ron sleeping on what is claimed to be Kim Soo Hyun's bed.

According to Garo Sero Research Institute, the pillow in the image matches one used by Kim Soo Hyun at his home.

The release of these images comes shortly after Kim Soo Hyun held a press conference to address the growing speculation about his relationship with Kim Sae Ron.

During the event, Kim denied dating Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor, firmly refuting any claims of impropriety.

"I have never been in a relationship with Kim Sae Ron during her teenage years," Kim stated. "Any speculation suggesting otherwise is false."

Garo Sero Research Institute's claims have stirred debate, with some netizens questioning the authenticity of the evidence while others demand further clarification from the actor.

The debate has also been fueled by accusations that Kim Soo Hyun used a script at his press conference and was, therefore, not entirely sincere in his statements.

As the situation unfolds, fans and the entertainment industry await further responses from both parties.

Neither Kim Soo Hyun's agency nor Kim Sae Ron has issued an additional statement regarding the latest set of photos.
