Yoon Shi-yoon’s Past Kindness Toward Kim Sae-ron Resurfaces as He Returns to TV Spotlight
On the May 30 episode of SBS’s “My Ugly Duckling,” Yoon Shi-yoon returned to television in a heartwarming segment centered around his “2 Days &1 Night” co-star Kim Jong-min’s upcoming wedding. During the episode, Yoon spoke to Kim’s fiancée for the first time, offering sincere congratulations and commenting sweetly, “Your voice is so lovely. Congratulations on your wedding.”
Yoon Shi-yoon made his acting debut in 2009 with MBC’s sitcom “High Kick Through the Roof,” rising to fame with “Bread, Love and Dreams” in 2010. In 2016, he co-starred with Kim Sae-ron in JTBC’s “Secret Healer,” and their time together on set left a lasting impression.
Yoon Shi-yoon’s appearance on the show has brought renewed attention to his past kindness toward the late Kim Sae-ron. Back when they co-starred in “Secret Healer,” Yoon shared a heartfelt message on his fan café, calling Kim Sae-ron “our little one” and urging fans to leave supportive comments like “Kim Sae-ron was amazing” on her articles.
“She’s 14 years younger, so it’s rare to meet her in projects now. Please leave a comment saying ‘Kim Sae-ron was amazing’ on her articles. It hurts to see hateful comments about her.” His thoughtful gesture is once again being remembered and appreciated by fans.
This resurfaced sentiment comes as Kim Sae-ron’s family has accused Kim Soo-hyun of dating her when she was underage, a claim he initially denied but later revised after photos and messages surfaced. Their press conference presented what they said was evidence of a relationship during her minor years.
In response, Kim Soo-hyun held his own press event with legal counsel on March 31, but the absence of a Q&A and his scripted statement drew criticism and raised further doubts.
In stark contrast, Yoon Shi-yoon’s sincerity and protective stance toward Kim Sae-ron stand out, offering a poignant reminder of how empathy and quiet acts of kindness can leave a lasting legacy. As the controversy around Kim Soo-hyun grows, Yoon’s compassion is once again being praised.
