Kim Sae-ron Abused by Husband & There is Evidence, Said Alleged Close Friend

Recently on March 20, YouTuber Lee Jin-ho released a recorded phone call between Kim’s manager and close friend, shedding light on the distressing circumstances, including abuse, that the late actress reportedly endured. 

According to the friend, Kim Sae-ron had met with them just days before her passing and appeared fine. However, they suspect that her husband, whom she met in the U.S., was the cause of her struggles. “He hit her and caused trouble. I have photos of the assault,” the friend disclosed.  

The friend further revealed that Kim Sae-ron’s husband had contacted them, sending abusive messages and threats, adding, “I wanted to swear at him too, but I didn’t respond for the sake of Sae-ron. But he called from another number and cursed at me. Sae-ron said she was so sorry to me.”

The friend then claimed that they have a photo of a scar on Kim Sae-ron’s neck, allegedly inflicted by her husband, stating, “It’s not official, but we suspect she passed away because of him. He continuously verbally attacked and threatened her”.

Meanwhile, Lee Jin-ho previously alleged that Kim Sae-ron had secretly got married in the U.S., got pregnant but had an abortion, and that her family may have been hiding certain details regarding her passing.  

Additionally, in a separate but related development, actor Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, announced legal action against individuals involved in sharing an inappropriate photo of him. The agency has filed a lawsuit against YouTube channel Garo Sero and an unidentified person claiming to be Kim Sae-ron’s relative, accusing them of violating laws on the distribution of explicit images.  

At the same time, Korean netizens are heavily criticizing Lee Jin-ho on his continuous exposure of Kim Sae-ron’s private life, especially when his information is unverifiable and can be an insult to the late actress. Many are asking the YouTuber to cease his action and protect the dead’s dignity.
