A private note believed to be the last message from late actress Kim Sae Ron has gone viral online, drawing fresh attention as controversy grows around actor Kim Soo Hyun. The renewed interest follows allegations that the actor was involved in a relationship with Kim when she was just 15 years old. Kim Soo Hyun¡¯s team has strongly denied any claims of underage dating, stating the relationship began only after Kim Sae Ron reached adulthood. However, her family insists the two had been romantically involved for years before she turned 18, prompting heated online discussions.
Kim Sae Ron¡¯s message, reportedly posted on her private social media in September¡ªfive months before her death¡ªhas resurfaced following this dispute. According to The Korea Times, the note hinted at suicidal thoughts and unresolved pain. ¡°If I die, please capture this and share it,¡± she wrote, followed by a list of people who had supported her.
¡°They are the ones who saved me.¡± She also called out those who abandoned her during her lowest point, writing, ¡°To the ones who left me when I was struggling the most, I hope you reflect on everything you received from me.¡± Referring to her 2022 drunk driving controversy, she added, ¡°The breathalyzer showed 0, the blood test showed a high level but that was from the day before... I compensated for all the damages anyway. At least now, I won¡¯t be in pain anymore.¡±
Earlier, Dispatch reported that an eyewitness, Kim Sae Ron's neighbour, had noticed multiple marks on Kim Sae Ron¡¯s hands and body that appeared consistent with repeated self-harm. The source claimed the scars were visible and expressed concern for her well-being at the time.
Kim Soo Hyun has spoken out to firmly deny claims that he dated the late actress Kim Sae-ron when she was underage. At a press conference held in March, the actor got emotional as he clarified that their relationship began only after Kim Sae Ton reached adulthood. ¡°I did not date her when she was a minor,¡± he said, also denying any connection to the reasons behind her tragic passing.
His agency, Gold Medalist, also hit back against rumours that he lent Kim Sae Ron money or pressured her to repay debts. They stated that any financial matters were between her and the company, not Kim personally.
Amid the controversy, the actor has lost some endorsement deals and is pursuing legal action against those spreading false claims. Meanwhile, his return to acting also remains uncertain, as Disney+? has indefinitely postponed the release of his much-anticipated drama, Knock Off.
