The marriage of late Kim Sae-ron has been confirmed as a fact. However, the deceased's husband stated that the allegations regarding the deceased's pregnancy and his domestic violence claims are unfounded. As claims and revelations surrounding the deceased's private life continue, it appears to be escalating into a fight over 'who hurt the deceased the most.'
A man identifying himself as Kim Sae-ron's husband disclosed a statement along with a marriage certificate issued in New Jersey on the 25th through the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute. Gaseyeon is actively serving as a channel for conveying the family's position.
According to the man, he met Kim Sae-ron in mid-November 2024 through a mutual acquaintance and became a couple, and they got married in the U.S. just two months after dating in January. The marriage registration he revealed indicates that the marriage registration form was submitted on January 7 and approved on January 10, three days later.
However, it was reported that due to real-life problems stemming from long-distance considerations, the decision to marry was made too quickly without serious contemplation, and mutual agreement was in progress for annulment. During this period, it was stated that Kim Sae-ron passed away in Korea.
Additionally, the man denied allegations of assaulting Kim Sae-ron and coercing marriage under the pretense of pregnancy.
He stated, "The home I reside in the U.S. is a quiet multi-family APT. with weak soundproofing, such that if an incident of assault were to occur, a report could be filed immediately from the downstairs. Moreover, assault in the U.S. carries serious legal liability. I have been thoroughly educated in the U.S. since childhood. From the time we first met in November 2024 until February 2025, Kim Sae-ron and I have met a total of four times, and except for the first meeting in November 2024, I had to work, so Kim Sae-ron visited the U.S. three times in total," he noted. "If there were assault or confinement, why would Kim Sae-ron have voluntarily come to the U.S.?" He posed the question, adding, "If you have any photos related to the assault, please disclose them clearly. If necessary, I will also undergo a police investigation."
Regarding the social media monitoring aspect, he said, "Considering that our relationship was long-distance, we had allowed unrestricted access to each other's phones and social media passwords. In fact, the late Kim Sae-ron often contacted me through my phone, and we shared our passwords freely in efforts to build trust as a married couple. I want to clarify that the various signs of sharing passwords and notes between lovers were conducted with mutual agreement as a married couple." He elaborated, "When we were in the U.S., we were always together, and sharing everything openly without secrets was labeled as 'monitoring,' which raises questions for me as well. However, sharing consensually within a marital relationship is a choice between couples. I can share the couple's notes that support this."
Finally, regarding pregnancy and coercion, Kim Sae-ron's husband stated, "The allegations about pregnancy are completely unfounded. The pregnancy talk emerged in January 2025, but we first met in mid-November. The actual serious relationship began when Kim Sae-ron visited the U.S. in late November, so the timing does not align. Furthermore, since we were not considering starting a family, Kim Sae-ron was taking birth control pills. To claim that I proceeded with the marriage through pregnancy and coercion is an extremely insulting act against the deceased," he raised his voice, adding, "Who ever marries under coercion? We loved each other, and there is evidence that Kim Sae-ron actively agreed to marry and express her intent."
In January, Kim Sae-ron uploaded a photo with a man along with the caption 'Marry,' which sparked marriage rumors, but she deleted it within a minute. At the time, she claimed that the marriage rumors were unfounded.
The man stated, "Is it right for me, who still cannot escape from deep sorrow, to step forward? Will I be a burden to the deceased and their family? I have contemplated this several times, but I have judged that facts heavily distorted and spread by certain factions have reached a serious level of defamation against the deceased and myself. I reluctantly had to write this statement to rectify the facts."
Meanwhile, YouTuber B, who raised allegations of Kim Sae-ron's marriage and husband assault, noted, "Currently, the family of the deceased is raising major concerns regarding her boyfriend Kim Soo-hyun from four years ago. However, the late Kim Sae-ron was indeed married to another man and living her newlywed life." He also claimed, "The late Kim Sae-ron attempted extreme choices several times early last year. This situation led to her being taken to the emergency room for urgent surgery, and her medical fees exceeded 20 million won. However, none of her family members paid for Kim Sae-ron's hospital bills." The family claimed that the late Kim Sae-ron experienced great stress due to YouTuber B's broadcast and filed a defamation lawsuit against him for spreading false information.
The reactions to the controversies surrounding the late Kim Sae-ron's private life are mostly sympathetic, noting how unfortunate it is that she cannot find peace even in the heavens. Various circumstances suggest that she experienced extreme depression and confusion around the time of the drinking and driving incident. As families, Gaseyeon, actor Kim Soo-hyun, and YouTuber B confront each other's various claims and revelations, the focus seems to shift to 'who gave the late Kim Sae-ron the most pain.' There is also a significant opinion that a victim should not speak out until clear facts are confirmed.
