YouTuber Lee Jin Ho has released two explosive videos claiming to reveal the true circumstances surrounding the tragic death of actress Kim Sae Ron. The videos, titled “Shocking Recording! The Real Reason Why Kim Sae Ron Was Struggling” and “Exposing Garoseoro Research Institute’s Falsehood! Suing Kim Sae Ron’s Fake Aunt,” have ignited significant controversy.
Alleged Abusive Relationship as Primary Cause
In the first video, Lee Jin Ho shared a recorded phone conversation between Kim Sae Ron’s manager and a close friend, referred to as ‘B.’ According to ‘B,’ Kim Sae Ron’s death was allegedly a result of an abusive relationship with a man she met in the United States.
“I only have Sae Ron as a friend. That man from the U.S. even called me and cursed at me. That was the end of it. Sae Ron later apologized to me and showed me photos of knife marks on her neck, saying it was real. I told her she must have had a really hard time. We had a meal together two days ago and talked about various things,” ‘B’ claimed in the recording.
‘B’ further asserted that Kim Sae Ron’s friends believe this man was the “primary reason” for her tragic decision. The manager responded with shock and anger, asking, “Who the hell is that guy?” ‘B’ also mentioned having photographs of Kim Sae Ron’s injuries.
“Yeah, but all of Sae Ron’s friends gathered to go to the funeral,” ‘B’ said, confirming the close bond of her friendship circle. The manager requested to be notified of the funeral details, to which ‘B’ agreed.
Exposing False Claims and Legal Action
In the second video, Lee Jin Ho focused on debunking claims made by the Garoseoro Research Institute, a controversial YouTube channel. He accused the institute of spreading false information based on statements from a person claiming to be Kim Sae Ron’s aunt.
“Exposing Garoseoro Research Institute’s Falsehood! Suing Kim Sae Ron’s Fake Aunt,” the title of the second video, foreshadowed his intent to pursue legal action against this individual for defamation. Lee Jin Ho stated that the person who gave an exclusive interview to The Fact, identifying herself as Kim Sae Ron’s ‘aunt,’ was not a blood relative.
Lee Jin Ho criticized the Garoseoro Research Institute and Kwon Young Chan, head of the Celebrity Suicide Prevention Association, for allegedly emailing reports about Kim Sae Ron’s case to 100 media outlets without any of them publishing the story. He demanded proof of these alleged emails.
He also addressed rumors about Kim Sae Ron’s social media activity, specifically claims that she liked posts related to the Netflix series ‘Bloodhounds,’ and that she was forced to leave ‘Dongchimi‘ due to these likes. Lee Jin Ho attributed these false narratives to the fake aunt.
“I will take legal action against any further false accusations,”
Lee Jin Ho warned, firmly denying any connection with Golden Medalist, Kim Sae Ron’s agency, and stating he was not instructed to upload these videos.
These videos have generated significant attention and raised serious questions about the circumstances surrounding Kim Sae Ron’s death. The allegations of abuse, if proven true, add a deeply disturbing layer to the tragedy. Legal proceedings are anticipated as Lee Jin Ho pursues his claims against the Garoseoro Research Institute.
