The claim has been made that the late Kim Saeron was married during her lifetime.
On the 19th, in a YouTube channel 'Entertainment Behind the President Lee Jinho,' Lee Jinho addressed the issues raised by the bereaved family, stating, "I feel a moral responsibility," But also expressed his frustration, saying, "This is not a normal situation."
He continued, "I want to correct the false information. What I am revealing today is the truth that the bereaved family is hiding. It is about Kim Saeron's marriage."
A person (referred to as A) questioned, "Is it true? Did she really get married?" Kim Saeron confessed, "I broke up with my ex-boyfriend, told him I had a new boyfriend, but we broke up, and I didn’t want to get married. However, I got pregnant." When asked by A, "Are you pregnant?" she replied, "I had an abortion. I was forced to marry because they threatened me with the baby." She further revealed that her current boyfriend, whom she met through an acquaintance, works at a large company as an ordinary person.
Regarding her deletion of KakaoTalk, Kim Saeron explained, "My boyfriend manages all my KakaoTalk and Instagram accounts. I couldn't do anything, only using Telegram and texting a little. My boyfriend told me, ‘I don't know why you're hiding the marriage,’ and we fought, which led to me posting the photo."
Kim Saeron also said, "I didn’t expect to marry someone like this," and when asked whether her parents approved, she avoided giving a direct answer. Regarding her boyfriend, she said, "He's really normal. When he drinks, it's a bit different. It's because of my ex-boyfriend that things turned out like this."
Earlier, the YouTube channel 'Garoseyo Research Institute' claimed, "According to what Kim Saeron told her family, Kim Soohyun insisted she change her phone, delete KakaoTalk, and use Telegram to communicate."
In relation to this, Lee Jin-ho remarked, "The bereaved family has raised major concerns about Kim Soohyun, Kim Saeron's boyfriend from four years ago. In fact, Kim Sae-ron was married and living a newlywed life with another man. The bereaved family is sending materials from the deceased's phone to Garosero. This means they are aware of the marriage."
Regarding the bereaved family's claim that Kim Saeron attempted an extreme act after watching Lee Jinho's video, Lee Jinho said, "Upon confirming the facts, Kim Saeron was with her husband in the U.S. at the time."
Meanwhile, Kim Saeron’s family is planning to conduct digital forensics on photos that could prove Kim Soo-hyun's relationship with Kim Sae-ron while she was a minor.
