The family of the late actress Kim Sae Ron has denied rumors regarding her supposed marriage, stating they were unaware of such claims. The YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute (HOVERLAB) addressed a false video uploaded by YouTuber Lee Jin Ho, mentioning a conversation with the family where they expressed no knowledge of Sae Ron being married and questioned reports of an abortion shared by her former manager. The family was distressed by the accusations and demanded proof, refuting claims of payment for medical bills as nonsensical.

HOVERLAB revealed details of a meeting with Kim Sae Ron's mother, who was distraught and concerned about the tarnishing of her daughter's reputation. They shared a letter allegedly penned by Kim Sae Ron's mother, expressing deep sorrow and regret for not being by her daughter's side during her final moments. The mother reminisced about fond memories with her daughter, expressing guilt for restricting her and apologizing for not understanding her needs better.

Furthermore, the bereaved family asserted that Kim Sae Ron had been in a relationship with Kim Soo Hyun when she was underage, a claim disputed by Kim Soo Hyun's agency. The agency clarified that their relationship began after Sae Ron had reached adulthood, dating from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020. Amidst these controversies, YouTuber Lee Jin Ho released an audio recording suggesting that Kim Sae Ron had secretly married abroad and undergone an abortion, sparking further debate and speculation.
