On March 27, 2025, Bu Ji Seok, the legal representative of the bereaved family of the late Kim Sae Ron, held a press conference in Seocho-gu, Seoul. There, he disclosed text messages exchanged between the deceased and Kim Soo Hyun in June 2016. He alleged that the texts were enough proof that the two were in a romantic relationship when the late actress was still a minor.
Intimate texts of Kim Soo Hyun asking Kim Sae Ron for hugs and kisses were previously revealed.
KSR: “You’ never wake up.”
KSH: “Yeah, I wouldn’t know, even if you kissed me.”
KSR: “So you wouldn’t notice even if I did it a few times. Yay.”
KSH: “When can I hold you and fall asleep? I think I’d be able to sleep really well then.”
KSR: “Yeah, I’ll let you do that.”
Continuing that, he began asking her how long it would take for her to let him be physically intimate with her.
KSH: “Will it take about a year?”
KSR: “Hmm. Maybe?”
KSH: “3 Years? Ha.”
KSR: “I mean, a year is pretty long. But 3?”
KSH: “You think a year is too long? Then in 6 months?”
KSR: “I’ll do it when I want to. No promises.”
Previously, Kim Soo Hyun’s representatives claimed that the relationship only started when she turned legal. At the time of these messages, Kim Sae Ron was only 17 years old.
