A close friend of the late actress Kim Sae Ron recently made a statement that sparked controversy by suggesting that the actress harbored resentment towards actor Kim Soo Hyun prior to her passing.
The friend, referred to as "A," disclosed details on a YouTube channel on March 26th, sharing a recording of a private conversation with reporter Lee Jin Ho. A claimed that Kim Sae Ron's death could be attributed to 70% Kim Soo Hyun, 25% Lee Jin Ho, and 5% her husband in New York.
According to A, who was well-acquainted with Kim's personal struggles, Kim and Kim Soo Hyun met when they were minors. A indicated that Kim Sae Ron felt overwhelmed by Kim Soo Hyun's numerous romantic interests, which strained their relationship over the six years they were together. A suggested that Kim Sae Ron held feelings of resentment towards Kim Soo Hyun and expressed a desire to assist her friend in letting go of those negative emotions.
A also mentioned Kim Sae Ron's family dynamics, highlighting her mother's role as her manager. A speculated that despite seemingly good interactions, perhaps Kim Sae Ron felt a lack of love or the need for more affection. A also disclosed details about Kim Sae Ron's ex-boyfriend, an aspiring idol who allegedly continued to contact her post-breakup, and how this led to unpleasant exchanges involving her husband in New York.
The claims raised suspicions about power dynamics behind the scenes, particularly in light of Kim Soo Hyun's previous interview where his side denied any responsibility for Kim Sae Ron's death, attributing her struggles to family dynamics. However, these claims remain unsubstantiated and lack official confirmation.
Amidst these allegations, Kim Soo Hyun is facing accusations of having a relationship with Kim Sae Ron while she was a minor, although his agency, Gold Medalist, has refuted these rumors by stating that they only started dating as adults.
Kim Sae Ron's family intends to address the controversy and present evidence during a scheduled press conference on March 27th. The situation continues to evolve as more details emerge and public opinion shifts.
