Veteran Actress Speaks Up In Grief And Anger Over Kim Sae Ron’s Demise
Actress Seo Yoo Jung recently made a social media post for the late actress Kim Sae Ron, who passed away on February 16 at the age of 24.
Seo made the post on February 18, praying for the deceased. But her post also contained scathing criticism of the media and netizens who spread malicious gossip about Kim Sae Ron.
May her soul rest in peace.
Please no more unnecessary articles, malicious comments, and edited videos that completely destroy emotions, dragging someone until they become frail and exhausted. And then, when heartbreaking news like this comes out, people suddenly act like they have nothing to do with it. Does it not hurt your conscience to manipulate media like this, exploiting vulnerable minds for profit?

Seo expressed her rage and hurt over the fact that people lacked empathy and foresight to realize that tragedies like this could happen to them anywhere any time as well.
Every time an incident occurs, public figures are immediately subjected to witch hunts, malicious edits, and hateful comments that are used for publicity…Please stop it now.
The ones who pass away like this also never imagined that this could happen to them. YOU could be next, or it could be me. So please refrain from spreading malicious gossip and hate. Please, media, stop. The world is falling apart.
— Seo Yoo Jung
The actress concluded her post by urging people to pay more attention to the ones around them who might need a helping hand. She also bid a heavy-hearted farewell to Kim Sae Ron.
There are probably many people still struggling with pain right now. Let’s pay more attention to those around us and embrace them warmly. Ask how they are doing… It must have been difficult to become a star on this earth, but in the sky, may you live forever as a star that never falls. You endured a lot while going through life…
— Seo Yoo Jung
Seo is not the only one in the industry mourning the sudden loss of Kim Sae Ron. Many of her colleagues and peers have also expressed their sorrow over her passing, with celebrities like Cha Eunwoo and IU sending wreaths to her funeral.
We pray that the deceased rest in peace.
