Kim Sae-ron’s Family Addresses Marriage and Abortion Allegations
On March 20, 2025, the South Korean outlet TV Report reported that Kim Sae-ron’s family refuted rumors concerning her alleged marriage and abortion. According to Kim Se-ui, an operator of the Garosero Research Institute, claims made by YouTuber Lee Jin-ho in a video titled “The Truth Hidden by the Bereaved Family”were entirely fabricated. The video falsely asserted that the late actress had both wed and undergone an abortion.
Family’s Stance on Allegations
The Garosero Institute clarified that Kim Sae-ron’s family has nothing to conceal. They strongly stated that they were completely unaware of any marriage involving her. The family expressed their bewilderment regarding the manager’s comments to Lee Jin-ho about an alleged abortion, asserting:
“The bereaved family said they never hid it. The bereaved family said they never heard that Kim Sae-ron was married and had no idea about it. They also said they don’t understand why the manager would say something like that to Lee Jin-ho about the abortion.”
Dispute on Medical Expenses
In another statement, the Garosero Institute confirmed that Kim Sae-ron’s family did not recognize claims regarding a manager paying 20 million won for her hospital expenses. They commented:
“I don’t understand at all the fact that the manager paid 20 million won instead of Kim Sae-ron’s hospital bill because no one paid it.”
Mother’s Emotional Response
During the previous day, the operator of the institute had a conversation with Kim Sae-ron’s mother, who appeared devastated and questioned how her daughter could be subjected to such public defamation and harassment.
Press Conference Canceled
Initially, the family planned to hold an emergency press conference at 5 p.m. on March 20, 2025, but ultimately opted against it due to ongoing harassment from Kim Soo-hyun and Lee Jin-ho, as claimed by the family.
Details from Lee Jin-ho’s Video
Notably, on March 19, 2025, Lee Jin-ho released a video through his YouTube channel, ‘Entertainment President Lee Jin-ho,’ in which he alleged that Kim Sae-ron was married at the time of her tragic passing. He cited multiple photographs she had shared with an unnamed individual, which were swiftly deleted, with the caption ‘Marry.’
Lee Jin-ho also disclosed what he claimed was a recording of a conversation between Kim Sae-ron and an employee from her former agency. In this exchange, it was alleged that she mentioned the photos were uploaded by her boyfriend following a dispute, suggesting she had faced pressure to marry him due to an unexpected pregnancy. The insinuation was made that she had relocated to New York to live with her partner.
Recent Legal Developments
In a related incident, Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has taken legal action against both the Garosero Institute and Kim Sae-ron’s family, following the unauthorized sharing of a sensitive photo during a live broadcast.
