Kim Sae-ron’s Ex-Husband Breaks Silence: Shocking Contract and Heart-Wrenching Letter Revealed
On March 26, Garo Sero Institute released audio recordings and documents provided by the late actress Kim Sae-ron’s ex-husband, including an 11-point handwritten agreement and a heartfelt letter penned by Kim herself. The release marks the ex-husband’s first public statement, and his decision to speak out is drawing massive attention online.
The ex-husband firmly denied allegations that he manipulated or abused Kim Sae-ron during their relationship. “If there had ever been abuse, neighbors in the U.S. would’ve reported it. That’s a serious crime there,” he stated, emphasizing that Kim often willingly visited his family in the States.
According to him, he initially chose to remain silent despite rumors of abuse and forced abortion. But with YouTuber Lee Jin-ho’s ongoing claims, he felt compelled to defend himself. In response to an audio clip suggesting their marriage took place on January 8, 2025, he clarified they officially wed on January 12. He suggested that Kim may have spoken under pressure or threat. Regarding visible injuries, his lawyer argued that the marks appeared self-inflicted. “I once saw her scratching herself,” he added.
The 11-Point Relationship Contract
One of the most shocking reveals was an agreement signed by the couple, partially written by Kim Sae-ron herself. It included strict relationship rules, such as:
- No contact or mention of ex-partners.
- No lying under any circumstances.
- Phones must be accessible upon mutual agreement.
- No verbal abuse, regardless of anger.
- Complete cutoff from all exes.
- No being “friends” with exes.
- Keep promises—or pay a $1,000 penalty per violation.
- No blame-shifting.
- No giving up on each other easily.
- No late-night drinking or cutting off contact.
- No emotional manipulation using personal hardship.
The ex-husband claimed this contract was mutual and written during a period of intense love and passion. He revealed that Kim Sae-ron wrote clauses 1–9, while he wrote the final two.
Heartbreaking Letter from Kim Sae-ron
Alongside the contract, the ex-husband also shared a handwritten letter Kim Sae-ron wrote in February, long before the tragic events that followed. The letter sheds light on the emotional weight of their whirlwind relationship.
Kim Sae-ron’s Handwritten Letter
It was brief, yet intense our connection ended just like this. In that short time, we felt so much, lived together, and tried to adapt to everything. Let’s try to come to terms with it and move forward. Maybe it all became too much for both of us. Even if those emotions were overwhelming, we truly loved each other.
If only we had taken more time to get to know each other, if we had allowed our love to deepen before getting married… would things still have ended so easily? Maybe not, right? Everything was too rushed perhaps it was all because of my own greed. Was this love never meant to last forever? My mind was filled with thoughts like that.
AdvertisementI used to think nothing lasts forever. The present never truly touches eternity, but once something ends, it becomes eternal. When someone dies, they disappear forever. When a relationship ends, it ends for good. I used to believe that this world isn’t built on what exists but on what has died and is gone forever. And when I thought about that, I wanted to disappear too.
I once wanted to be the eternal person in your life. At first, it came from a desire for revenge. Then, it became a wish to build something greater with you. But in the end… I was the one who hurt you. I’m not trying to blame you. Because in the end… it was all my fault.
But I truly, deeply loved you. I didn’t want to lose you I longed to be loved. No matter how much I struggled, I couldn’t have that. I didn’t know what to do with this love. How do you make someone care about you? Maybe I had those foolish thoughts because my heart was still too immature.
And I think… I felt lonely. Because you weren’t there beside me. Even when I met your family, even when I was exhausted, I forced a smile and said, ‘I’m okay. How about you?’ Even when I was terribly sad, you weren’t there. So I think I became grateful to those who were beside me in those moments. And that… is what ruined our relationship. It’s all my fault. I’m sorry.
I know no words can make you forgive me. But truly, not even for a single moment did I stop loving you. I loved you in every second. And now, it feels like my heart is being torn apart. Each day feels too long, too uncertain. I hate myself for not being able to forget you. No matter how I try to hide it, I just can’t. Even if these words no longer mean anything… I still want to say them. You are someone who deserves to be loved.
Thoughts on Kim Soo-hyun
When asked whether Kim Sae-ron ever confided in him about actor Kim Soo-hyun, the ex-husband replied, “She didn’t go into detail. She only said she dated someone for six years.” As for speculations about Kim Soo-hyun or his agency being connected to Kim’s death, he said, “We were together for such a short time, I don’t believe I’m in a position to assess the deeper causes of everything.”
While the ex-husband’s statements offer a dramatically different view of his relationship with Kim Sae-ron, the controversy continues to unfold. Kim Sae-ron’s family is expected to hold a press conference on March 27, promising to present further evidence regarding the circumstances surrounding her tragic death. The public remains divided as the case grows more complex with each revelation.
