Actor Kim Sae-ron, at the young age of 25, passed away on the 16th of last month. On the 9th, 20 days later, the family of the deceased, including her father, gave an interview to Ilgan Sports. The family expressed their distress, stating that Kim Sae-ron suffered immensely due to the unfounded videos produced by YouTuber Lee Jin-ho and other similar content creators, as well as the media that indiscriminately used such content. They mentioned that the family went through their own ordeal and that their suffering has not ended.
The father of the deceased requested that all family members participating in the interview, except for himself, be referred to simply as “family” to avoid further victimization. One family member mentioned a specific video from Lee Jin-ho where a call was made to Kim Sae-ron, criticizing her for changing her phone number, questioning if that was appropriate behavior for an actor in self-reflection. They revealed through tears that it was on that very day Kim Sae-ron attempted to make an extreme choice.
