The ongoing situation surrounding Kim Soo Hyun and the late Kim Sae Ron continues to draw intense attention within the Korean entertainment industry. Recent discussions have centered on the emotional strain the young actress might have experienced before her passing.
Details of the Second Letter
On March 17, Kim Sae Ron’s family took legal action by filing a defamation lawsuit against YouTuber Lee Jin Ho. They also held a press conference where their legal representative shared further details about the situation. Attorney Bu Ji Seok, representing Kim Sae Ron’s family, addressed claims made by Gold Medalist, the agency of both Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun.
Attorney Bu Ji Seok stated that contrary to Gold Medalist’s assertion of sending only one certified letter regarding a debt, Kim Sae Ron had received two such letters. He explained the discovery of the second letter:
“The agency claimed that the first legal notice was merely a formality, but that is not true. While sorting through the deceased’s belongings, we (belatedly) found a second legal notice. This second notice mentioned that it was sent due to a supposed breach of trust, but in reality, it was essentially demanding that the debt be repaid within a set deadline.”
The content of the second letter, as described by Attorney Bu, appears to have been particularly distressing:
“Towards the end, it explicitly ordered the deceased not to contact Kim Soo Hyun or anyone at Gold Medalist. It also contained threats of legal action over the release of intimate photos. After this, even other actors from the same agency, who had previously been in contact with the deceased, suddenly cut off communication. It is evident that she suffered significant emotional distress before her passing.”
Family’s Accusations and Netizen Reactions
Kim Sae Ron’s family is now accusing Kim Soo Hyun and Gold Medalist of isolating the late actress and putting pressure on her through threats of legal action.
The revelation of the second certified letter has sparked strong reactions from Korean netizens, who are expressing anger and shock at the allegations against Gold Medalist. Their comments reflect deep sadness and outrage:
“The deceased must have felt so helpless at such a young age… Ah… Both the perpetrator and the media that ignored this are nothing but monsters in human disguise.”
“How much must that young child have suffered… I sincerely hope he gets canceled for good.”
“This is truly disgusting… I hope they live in misery and suffering forever.”
“What did KSH and his agency do to shi young child?”
“I can’t even imagine how hopeless she must have felt.”
“If even her family didn’t know, she must have been trying to bear it all alone…”
“They pushed her to the absolute limit…”
“This is too heartbreaking… I’m at a loss for words.”
“People are now acting like they are in shock… Where were we when she was suffering all alone?”
“I hope they are punished and he never shows his face again.”
“This is truly the worst. There is no cure for this kind of evil.”
“Insane…”
“She wasn’t able to tell even her family… How much pain she must have endured alone…”
“She was so young and she had to bear it all alone… Her family must be absolutely devastated.”
“So they found the letter in her belongings?”
“Did he have to be this harsh to a kid? That agency didn’t even treat her like an actress. She has such a bright future and yet her career was cut short. The more I find out about this, the more I’m heartbroken…”
“I now get why she chose his birthday…”
“Wow… Even after six years together, this is how it ended? That’s so cruel.”
“This is unbearably tragic.”
“This is so vicious. I understand why she chose the day she died…”
“I feel absolutely devastated. Imagine how much worse Sae Ron must have felt. This is too painful.”
“My heart is aching…”
