The bereaved family of Kim Sae Ron has released a letter she wrote in 2024 that ultimately was not sent to Kim Soo Hyun.
On the afternoon of March 27, 2025, Bu Ji Seok, the legal representative of the bereaved family, held a press conference in Seocho-gu, Seoul, where he showcased a letter written by Kim Sae Ron to Kim Soo Hyun in 2024 that she was unable to send to him due to the legal notice sent by GOLD MEDALIST.
Hi, this is Roni [nickname]. Are you doing well?
I wanted to clear up any misunderstandings about our relationship, so I’m writing this. I can’t get into contact with anyone from the agency and I’m scared of the lawsuit. Anyway, I’m sorry about uploading the picture. I uploaded the picture becuase I wanted to get the company’s attention. I’m sorry for bringing damage to you because of that. I feel so scared and uncomfortable around the GOLD MEDALIST employees. After I left the agency, no one would respond to my requests to talk. I didn’t want to bother you. I truly wish for you to be happy. We had been dating for 5-6 years, you were my first love and my last love, so I wish you wouldn’t avoid me. Seeing you avoid me and not even acknowledging me makes me feel like all the time we spent together was meaningless. Can we please stay friends? No more, no less. We can still cheer each other on. Do you hate me that much? Why? If this letter doesn’t get to you, then our relationship is truly over, forever. The thought of that makes me sad. I won’t interfere in your life anymore. But don’t hate me… I’m hoping that I can see your smiling face again. Here is my phone number. If you read this, call me. No matter what I do, there is no way for me to convey my true feelings. I hope your address is the same so you read this, not Ro Be [T/N: Kim Soo Hyun’s cousin]. I am rooting for all your future works and relationships and I hope you’ll be happy. And all I hope is you don’t look negatively on our time together…
