Kim Sae Ron took longer to respond to the issue, first saying that she would release a statement on March 25, though a confidant claimed there was a “complicated story” behind the photo.

She later retracted her previous statement and said she would no longer comment. Netizens criticized the actress for her “attention seeking” and accused her of trying to make something out of nothing.

This instance is actually not the first time netizens have criticized the actress for stretching the truth.

During the trial for her DUI in 2022, the actress claimed that she was facing financial difficulties and shared photos of herself working at a place called Mega Coffee to support her claims.

However, Mega Coffee called Kim Sae Ron out, stating that the actress had never worked at their chain locations.

Not long after, Kim Sae Ron was dealt another blow — this time in the form of Dispatch exposing photos of her playing poker at a pub, despite her claims.

Both instances resulted in harsh criticism from netizens, who wondered how she continued to be “reckless” after her crime. On top of this, Kim Sae Ron claimed she never said she was facing financial difficulties, confusing netizens even further.
