“Kim Soo-hyun is Kim Sae-ron’s ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-boyfriend”… YouTuber Lee Jin-ho raises new allegations about Kim Sae-ron
On the 22nd, Lee Jin-ho released a video titled “Shocking Exclusive! The Last Voice Recording of Late Kim Sae-ron. Was It Really Kim Soo-hyun’s Fault?” on his YouTube channel “Entertainment President.”
In the video, Lee Jin-ho stated, “Kim Sae-ron, faced with the loneliness of being the head of her household and financial difficulties, ended up marrying her New York husband, whom she was reluctant to marry.” He added that “Kim Sae-ron dreamed of a new life in the U.S.” Furthermore, “after breaking up with Kim Soo-hyun, Kim Sae-ron dated a total of five other people: an athlete, a singer, a part-time colleague, an idol trainee, and her New York husband. For Kim Soo-hyun, he was Kim Sae-ron’s ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-boyfriend,” he said, questioning why Kim Sae-ron’s family attributes her death solely to Kim Soo-hyun.
Regarding Kim Sae-ron’s New York husband, Lee Jin-ho mentioned that he was with her “just 4-5 days before her passing.” He revealed notes and DMs that the late Kim wrote to her New York husband. Lee Jin-ho claimed that “it was confirmed that Kim Sae-ron had been receiving psychiatric treatment, had made several self-harm attempts, and visited the emergency room about 20 times due to stress.”
Lee Jin-ho also shared a recording of a conversation between Kim Sae-ron and a friend before she died. In the call, Kim Sae-ron expressed distress, saying, “No, nothing happened, but my boyfriend suddenly showed me a YouTube video where fortune-tellers say I’m ‘bad’ and that ‘I should already be dead.'” Lee Jin-ho explained that Kim Sae-ron seemed to have suffered significant conflict during her relationship and marriage with her American husband.
He further alleged that “Kim Sae-ron experienced severe conflict and attempted to maintain her marriage despite it, but was subjected to gaslighting by her husband. The degree of conflict and gaslighting with her New York husband led her to despair.”
Kim Sae-ron passed away at her home in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, on February 16. She was 25 years old.
