Screenshot this, and share this if I die.

[Redacted names] are the ones who saved me. And I hope that the people who left me when I was having the hardest time of my life will think back on what they received from me.

I took a breathalyzer test and it came out as 0. Although the blood test showed a high level [of alcohol], that was from the day before.

There wasn’t even a blackout but I still fully compensated for the damages.

Anyway, I won’t be hurting anymore.

Two of Kim Sae Ron’s acquaintances saw this upload around 10 minutes after she posted it and rushed to her house to check on her. One acquaintance told SBS FunE how Kim Sae Ron would work non-stop in various jobs, from acting coaching to part-time gigs in cafes, flower shops, and bars. But despite this, she was still facing financial difficulties.

SBS FunE was able to confirm that two members of a famous idol group that Kim Sae Ron has talked about before, as well as a third singer, each lent Kim Sae Ron around ₩100 million KRW (about $72,300 USD) each. They also stated that two actors (Actor A and singer-turned-actor B) lent unspecified amounts to Kim Sae Ron after she told them about her financial difficulties. Finally, they got a statement from singer C.

I lent Kim Sae Ron ₩12.0 million KRW (about $8,680 USD) in the second half of 2023 and a little under ₩8.00 million KRW (about $5,790 USD) around May 2024, which was sent to her family’s account.

SBS FunE also reported that Kim Sae Ron borrowed ₩50.0 million KRW (about $36,200 USD) from a businessman acquaintance and her agency Management Run wrote off the approximately ₩60.0 million KRW (about $43,400 USD) in surgery and medical expenses that she borrowed from the company.
