Kim Sae-ron's ex-boyfriend has spoken out against her family, claiming that actor Kim Soo-hyun was not involved in her tragic death. According to reports from Koreaboo, the ex-boyfriend shared messages between himself and Sae-ron before her death, but his identity remains undisclosed.
He criticized Sae-ron's family for their actions, stating, “It’s absurd to me that her aunt suddenly appears, claims to be part of her bereaved family, and is now pushing the narrative that Kim Sae-ron died because of Kim Soo-hyun. The fact that none of them knew about her getting married to a man from New York shows how little communication there was between them.”
Supporting Kim Soo-hyun, her ex-boyfriend expressed sympathy for the actor, who has been caught in the middle of a public controversy regarding his past relationship with Sae-ron. “They hardly cared when she was alive. But now that she’s gone, they’re digging up a relationship from years ago with a famous actor? There must be an ulterior motive behind this. I can only imagine how wronged Soo-hyun must feel, getting so much backlash just because he’s a popular celebrity,” he added.
The Tragic Circumstances Surrounding Sae-ron’s Death
Sae-ron’s tragic passing occurred in February 2025, following a series of personal struggles. According to reports, she met her husband in November 2024, and the two married in early 2025. However, she allegedly faced physical and verbal abuse at his hands, and Sae-ron confided in her ex-boyfriend about the abuse. When her husband found out they were in contact, he reportedly confiscated her phone and began monitoring her communications. The ex-boyfriend claimed that Sae-ron’s husband even threatened him over an abusive message.
Her family’s indifference to her situation deeply troubled Sae-ron. She had previously attempted to harm herself, requiring emergency surgery, but her family reportedly did not visit her during her recovery.
Sae-ron’s career had been struggling following a drunk driving incident, and it was reported that she had been working part-time jobs to pay off debts.
The Kim Soo-hyun Controversy
Amid these tragic events, Kim Soo-hyun has found himself embroiled in controversy over rumors of a past relationship with Sae-ron when she was a minor. Additionally, Soo-hyun has been accused of pressuring her to repay a substantial financial penalty, a claim that has further complicated the situation.
This ongoing saga has left many questioning the motives behind the resurfacing of these allegations and the role her family may have played in the aftermath of Sae-ron’s death.
