A new report on actress Kim Sae Ron's romantic history has caused fresh controversy as she is now said to be linked to third-generation K-pop idol WOODZ, also known as Cho Seungyoun.

In a recent video, YouTuber Lee Jin Ho, who is currently banned by court order from creating content about Kim Sae Ron, defied restrictions to publish additional claims about the late actress's personal life.
Lee alleged that Kim and actor Kim Soo Hyun were romantically involved while also seeing other individuals.
In a follow-up video, Lee claimed that one of Kim's former partners was a singer and speculated that the breakup with this individual contributed to her DUI incident.

Lee pointed to a blurred image of a coffee truck featured in a music video, which Kim allegedly sent to the singer during filming.
Following the release of the video, netizens began their own investigation.

Online users matched a previously shared image of an unblurred coffee truck featuring images of WOODZ with the blurred version in Lee's video.

Identifiable text and layout from both images appear to align, suggesting the truck was sent to WOODZ.

Based on Lee's claims and online speculation, Kim and WOODZ were allegedly in a relationship from early 2021 until May 2022.
On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), user @fishetnii wrote, "Is this you?" tagging WOODZ and his agency. "Hurry and explain. Come out and explain yourself."

WOODZ, who debuted with UNIQ and later gained recognition as a soloist, is currently fulfilling his mandatory military service.
His agency has yet to release an official statement regarding the allegations.
These new rumors follow the ongoing public scrutiny of Kim Sae Ron's connection to actor Kim Soo Hyun, which continues to dominate entertainment headlines.

Kim Sae Ron's family and Kim Soo Hyun's agency have not commented on the recent developments as of press time.
