Since actress Kim Sae Ron’s passing, her involvement with actor Kim Soo Hyun has come to light, both their alleged romantic relationship and his agency’s involvement in the actress’s financial crisis.


GOLD MEDALIST and Kim Sae Ron’s family’s representatives have issued statements, though Kim Soo Hyun’s side has admitted the actors did date but claim it was after she was eighteen. Kim Sae Ron’s family has also revealed the actress’s struggles, including certified letters demanding repayment.

In a recent press conference, her family shared that the second letter sent by the company that was not initially known to them. The lawyer representing the family recently spoke about the situation on a radio program, revealing more details.
Attorney Bu Ji Seok reiterated that Kim Sae Ron sent a text message to Kim Soo Hyun after receiving the first letter and was in disbelief that the actor would do something like that.
When the first certification of contents arrived, Kim Sae Ron thought, ‘There’s no way Kim Soo Hyun would have sent something like this. Someone else must have sent it.’ Wanting to confirm, she sent a text message to Kim Soo Hyun.
However, the person she trusted, Kim Soo Hyun, did not respond. Instead, a second certified letter arrived, stating that she should not contact him, other actors, or post any photos.

According to Attorney Bu, after the second letter Kim Sae Ron, who usually discussed such matters with her family, did not do so. He shared that she might not have wanted her family to view him negatively, saying “He’s not that kind of person.“
Kim Sae Ron, who always discussed matters with her aunt and family, did not inform them about the second certification of contents. The reason it was only discovered yesterday might be that she didn’t want Kim Soo Hyun to be seen negatively by her family. She kept believing in him, saying, “He’s not that kind of person.” Perhaps that’s why she chose not to reveal the second certification of contents.
She bore the burden alone, suffering in silence, and in the end, on Kim Soo Hyun’s birthday, she might have made a tragic choice.

Attorney Bu also asked that those criticizing Kim Sae Ron consider the burden she faced alone, before ending the segment.
