As previously announced, YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute continues to release evidence exposing the relationship between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron. Meanwhile, the actor remains silent.
The focus of media attention across Asia is the suspicion that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron have been dating for 6 years, since the actress was only 15 years old. Not only that, Kim Soo Hyun’s heartless act of sending an IOU of 700 million won (12.3 billion VND) is also considered a move to push Kim Sae Ron into a corner.
Most recently, Korean netizens have “dissected” this 700 million won (12.3 billion VND) figure and found it unreasonable. A driver said that he had crashed his car into an electric pole like Kim Sae Ron and only had to pay 20 million won (350 million VND) to replace the transformer. The driver is not obligated to compensate for damage caused by a power outage, because the power supply system has a backup generator. If the store or family loses power, it is not the driver’s responsibility. The driver who caused the accident only needs to report the accident to the insurance company, and the insurance company will pay the necessary expenses.
Some other opinions say that the figure of 700 million won (12.3 billion) includes compensation for advertising and film contracts. However, people in the entertainment industry assert that this figure is too high and unreasonable. Film contracts have a certain compensation ceiling, and this figure cannot reach 700 million won (12.3 billion).
However, there are also opinions that the figure of 700 million won (12.3 billion VND) is the sum of many contracts, or contracts with separate compensation requirements. What this huge amount of money is used for, only insiders know clearly.
Industry insiders say film contract compensation cannot reach 700 million won (12.3 billion VND).
A person claiming to be Kim Sae Ron’s aunt said that when the actress caused a drunk driving scandal, Kim Soo Hyun lent her 700 million won (12.3 billion VND) to settle the compensation and did not ask for immediate repayment. The late actress confided to her aunt that even though Kim Soo Hyun did not give her a repayment deadline, she would still try to work to pay it back.
By 2024, the actress received a debt certificate of 700 million won (12.3 billion VND). Kim Sae Ron burst into tears because she had used all her money to pay compensation and had nothing left. Kim Sae Ron thought that Kim Soo Hyun did not send this debt certificate, but the sender was Lee Sarang – Kim Soo Hyun’s cousin and co-founder of Gold Medalist. Therefore, the late actress called Kim Soo Hyun to ask about the debt certificate, but he did not answer. Kim Sae Ron’s cousin also called Kim Soo Hyun, but still did not receive a response. Then, a strange number called, but it turned out to be a reporter calling to ask if it was Kim Sae Ron.
Finally, Kim Sae Ron posted an intimate photo with Kim Soo Hyun on Instagram because she thought it was the only way to get the actor to contact her again. However, Gold Medalist denied the dating rumors and said: “We don’t understand what her intentions are .” Because of this photo, Kim Sae Ron was also “terrorized” by netizens, calling her the queen of making up stories.
Currently, Gold Medalist has denied the entire content of the story on Garo Sero Institute and announced a lawsuit. However, netizens across Asia are still skeptical about the authenticity of the drama. If this story is true, then the person who sent the IOU to force the late actress into a corner is Lee Sarang. Kim Soo Hyun is also responsible for “ignoring” the late actress, forcing her to post intimate photos and suffer online violence.
Lee Sarang is said to be the one who sent the IOU to Kim Sae Ron, and Kim Soo Hyun is also responsible for not returning her calls.
