Kim Sae Ron's last message to alleged boyfriend Kim Soo-Hyun a desperate plea; latter's agency extorted money

Yesterday, a Korean news channel Garo Sero carried a voice note from the aunt of Kim Sae Ron who said that Kim Soo Hyun was indirectly responsible for the demise of the actress. She had ended her life on February 16, 2025 that coincided with the birthday of Kim Soo Hyun. The actor has been part of top Korean dramas like My Love From A Star, It’s Okay To Be Not Okay, and the recent blockbuster Queen Of Tears. The aunt said that Kim Soo Hyun, 41, had been dating the actress since she was 15. They got into a relationship in 2015 and it lasted till 2022. Netizens are furious thinking that the actor might have allegedly dated the actress who was then a minor. The relative also said that she worked for free for his company Goldmedalist, which he set up along with his cousin brother.

Now, a message has been going viral on social media. It is apparently the last text that an apparently desperate Kim Sae Ron sent him. Goldmedalist had slapped a lawsuit on her amounting to Korean won 700 million. Kim Sae Ron had earlier thanked Kim Soo-Hyun and her aunt for helping her in settling the claims. In 2022, she was caught in a drunk driving incident. It damaged a transformer and some shops suffered due to the crash.

"Oppa, it’s Sae Ron. I received a certified letter—I’m being sued. You said you’d give me plenty of time, so I’ve been diligently preparing for my comeback, planning to repay you little by little from each project. It’s not that I refuse to pay, but I simply can’t come up with 700 million won all at once. It’s not that I won’t, I just can’t. Do I really have to go to court? Please help me. I’m begging you—just give me more time."

It seems Kim Soo Hyun’s agency is planning strict legal action. They have said the rumours are baseless. Netizens have called him out for not attending her funeral and sharing pics of his birthday celebrations on social media on the day.
