Netizens Say Won Bin Wanted to Clear Late Actress Kim Sae Ron’s 700 Million Won Debt While Kim Soo Hyun Pressured Her to Pay It Back Before Her Tragic Death
Claims circulate that actor Won Bin tried to help Kim Sae Ron with her debt, amidst ongoing controversy involving Kim Soo Hyun. The story includes a message where Kim Sae Ron asked Kim Soo Hyun for more time to repay her 700 million KRW debt. This situation has sparked questions about the actions of both actors.
Kim Sae Ron’s Plea
A YouTube channel, Garo Sero Research Institute, broadcasted a message reportedly from Kim Sae Ron to Kim Soo Hyun. The message described her financial difficulties after receiving a legal notice.
“Oppa, it’s Sae Ron. I received the legal notice. You said you’d give me enough time before suing, so I’ve been preparing for my return to acting and planning to repay the debt little by little with each project. I’m not saying I won’t pay, but if you demand the full 700 million won right away, I really can’t do it. It’s not that I won’t, but that I simply can’t. Do we really have to go to court? Please, I’m begging you, give me more time.”
The broadcast claimed Kim Sae Ron’s attempts to contact Kim Soo Hyun failed, and her cousin’s phone number was leaked to journalists when she tried to reach him.
Won Bin’s Alleged Attempt
A netizen’s comment went viral, stating that Won Bin tried to pay Kim Sae Ron’s debt.
“I saw another video saying that Kim Sae Ron’s aunt will soon release a three-minute-long recording. But I also heard that Won Bin knew about Kim Sae Ron’s suffering because of the 700 million won debt and tried to repay it for her. Won Bin is truly amazing—I feel like crying. Meanwhile, Kim Soo Hyun, who has hundreds of billions of won in assets, couldn’t even wait and instead pressured her with legal notices to repay the 700 million won, ultimately driving her out of her home and leading to her death?”
Kim Sae Ron died at age 25 on February 16. Her 2022 drunk driving incident led to significant public criticism.
Past Connection and Memorial Service
A past message from Kim Sae Ron about Won Bin resurfaced.
“On my birthday, Mr. Won Bin picked out this mini laptop for me. Thank you! I’ll grow up to be a good adult like you.”
When a netizen made a negative comment, Kim Sae Ron responded:
“I’m not trying to show off my laptop. I just wanted to express how warm and kind he is, as he cared for and remembered a child like me, who is otherwise insignificant. I won’t delete this post.”
Won Bin attended Kim Sae Ron’s memorial service, where he reportedly paid his respects and cried.
The differing actions of Won Binand Kim Soo Hyun have led to public questioning. Kim Sae Ron’s family plans to release more evidence.
