Unsent Letter from Kim Sae-ron: Revelations About Her Relationship with Kim Soo-hyun
A recently disclosed letter from Kim Sae-ron, although never sent, sheds light on her complicated relationship with Kim Soo-hyun, which she described as having lasted five to six years. In the letter, she poignantly referred to him as her “first and last love”and conveyed her feelings of sorrow over being ignored.
Feelings of Abandonment and Apologies
In the latest correspondence that came to light, Kim Sae-ron opened up about her sense of abandonment upon leaving Gold Medalist, her agency. She indicated that her attempts to reach out were met with silence and expressed her regret over a prior post that allegedly created disruptions. Sae-ron emphasized that she had no intention of complicating Soo-hyun’s life.
As translated by Twitter user @translatingsk, parts of the letter read:
“I’m writing because I want to clear up the misunderstandings between us. I couldn’t reach anyone at the company, and I was scared of the lawsuit. Still, I’m sorry for posting the picture. I only posted it in hopes that the company would respond. I didn’t mean to cause harm, and I apologize for that.”
Concerning Her Experiences with Gold Medalist
In her letter, she expressed discomfort and fear regarding her past experiences with Gold Medalist. Her comments reflected feelings of isolation after departing from the company. She noted:
“Honestly, the people at Gold Medalist make me feel really uncomfortable and scared. After leaving the company, no one answered my calls. I never intended to make things difficult for you. I sincerely wish you happiness.”
Reflection on Their Relationship
Kim Sae-ron also revisited their years together, stating:
“I realized that we were together for about 5-6 years. You were my first and last love, so I hope you won’t avoid me. Seeing you completely ignoring me and refusing to even acknowledge me makes all that time feel empty and meaningless. Can’t we at least be on good terms?”
Her message revealed a deep emotional plea, as she expressed sadness about the perceived finality of their relationship, assuring Soo-hyun that she would respect his space in the future.
Tragic Developments
Tragically, Kim Sae-ron passed away on February 16, 2025, a date that also marks Kim Soo-hyun’s birthday. Her family alleged that the actor engaged in a six-year relationship with the actress when she was still a minor, further claiming he pressured her to repay significant debts. However, Gold Medalist has denied these accusations.
The situation intensified when alleged text messages and images surfaced, contradicting Kim Soo-hyun’s previous statements concerning their relationship.
Key Updates on Ongoing Investigations
Alongside the unsent letter, Sae-ron’s family revealed affectionate messages exchanged between the two in 2016. According to a report from Sports Chosun, these texts featured heart emojis and playful exchanges, leading to public scrutiny since Soo-hyun had claimed their romantic relationship only began after she reached adulthood.
At a recent press conference, Attorney Boo raised questions about the nature of their relationship, stating:
“They are exchanging these kinds of KakaoTalk messages that seem to demand a relationship beyond just hugging. If this relationship is not a romantic one, I would like to ask Kim Soo-hyun what kind of relationship they have.”
The attorney also disclosed details about distressing messages from Sae-ron, particularly regarding a notable financial notice from Gold Medalist, and indicated her attempts to reach out to him for help were ignored.
Furthermore, the conference inadvertently revealed emotionally distressing images of the actress, showcasing the mental strain she was under leading up to her passing. The attorney remarked:
“I thought a lot about whether or not to release the photos, but I have no choice but to let you know how Kim Sae-ron felt after receiving the certified mail.”
Current Investigations
In light of the escalating situation, law enforcement agencies have initiated investigations into defamation claims involving both Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron. The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency confirmed that a complaint against Kim Soo-hyun was filed on March 20, 2025, while other allegations regarding a YouTuber’s comments about Kim Sae-ron are being handled separately.
