Actress Kim Sae Ron passed away on February 16, 2025. She was found dead in her apartment by a friend who could not get into contact with her.
The date coincided with actor Kim Soo Hyun‘s birthday. Things were spotlighted belatedly after their recent controversy, where Kim Soo Hyun was accused of dating her when she was a minor. It was found that he posted a thank-you to fans for their birthday gifts on her death day.
He showed off a multitude of gifts, balloons, and flowers.
After the news of his relationship with her came to light, netizens began looking at it in a different way. They found it passé for celebrities to continue to receive expensive and plentiful gifts from fans. In recent years, most celebrities have been rejecting gifts, only accepting letters. Her aunt also heavily blamed him for her eventual death, given that he ran the company that slapped her with a hefty lawsuit.
- F*ck.
- A psychopath!
- You’re not a human, but a beast.
- It makes me disillusioned that he’s still accepting gifts from fans. Recently, it’s more favored not to.
- Trash.
The company allegedly paid 7 ok for her at the time of her DUI. At that point in time, Kim Soo Hyun had told her it was okay not to pay it back. In 2024, she was suddenly slammed with a lawsuit by the company, asking her to repay the debt.
In a message dated March 19, 2024, Kim Sae Ron allegedly begged Kim Soo Hyun to give her some time to pay it off. The message was revealed via Korean media outlets on March 11, 2025, a day after their relationship controversy broke. You can read more about the matter below.
