The last letter, presumed to have been left by the late Kim Sae-ron for actor Kim Soo-hyun, has been revealed, causing a stir. In the letter disclosed by the bereaved family, the late Kim Sae-ron referred to Kim Soo-hyun as "first love and last love," stating that they had been together for a period of 5 to 6 years.
The legal representative of the late Kim Sae-ron's family, attorney Bu Ji-seok from Law Firm Buyou, held a press conference on the afternoon of the 27th at the Space Share Gangnam Station Center in Seoul. At the press conference, the bereaved family revealed a handwritten letter that the late Kim Sae-ron had written to Kim Soo-hyun in early April.
In the letter, Kim Sae-ron opened up by stating that she wanted to clear up misunderstandings with Kim Soo-hyun. Kim Sae-ron said, "I wanted to leave a message to clear up the misunderstandings between us. I couldn't reach anyone at the company and was scared of the lawsuit. I'm sorry for posting the photo; I hoped the company would get in touch. I apologize for causing harm. I'm very scared and uncomfortable around the people at Gold Medalist. After leaving the company, no one has contacted me. I have no intention of causing you distress. I sincerely wish for your happiness."
Earlier, Kim Sae-ron apologized for posting a photo on social media that sparked dating rumors with Kim Soo-hyun. Kim Sae-ron had posted the photo with the hope of establishing contact with Kim Soo-hyun's team.
Notably, Kim Sae-ron also mentioned her relationship with Kim Soo-hyun, which drew attention. Kim Sae-ron remarked, "We have been together for about 5 to 6 years. He is both my first love and last love, so I hope he doesn't avoid me," adding, "Seeing you avoid me and not wanting to interact has made me feel empty and disappointed over time."
According to Kim Sae-ron, the duration of their relationship was 5 to 6 years, suggesting that contrary to claims from Kim Soo-hyun's team, they began dating from her minor years. Kim Sae-ron expressed her unwavering affection for Kim Soo-hyun, stating he is "both my first love and last love."
In closing, Kim Sae-ron stated, "Let's just get along well. Nothing more, nothing less; we can at least support each other," adding, "If this letter doesn't reach you either, then our relationship will truly be over forever. I think that would make me sad. I won't intrude on your life anymore. So please don't hate me. I hope to see the day when we can smile at each other again. I wish for your success and happiness in your work and relationships."
She added that she hopes they won't remember each other's time negatively, while expressing support for Kim Soo-hyun's work and love life. As the contents of the letter released by the bereaved family contradict the stance of Kim Soo-hyun's team, significant repercussions are expected.
Bu Ji-seok, the attorney for the late Kim Sae-ron's family, stated in a statement that "the initial reason the bereaved family had to disclose the truth about Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron dating during their minor years was to file a lawsuit against YouTuber A, who spread falsehoods about the late Kim Sae-ron, ridiculing and mocking her, ultimately driving her to her death." He noted, "The bereaved family wishes to put an end to the controversy by presenting evidence."
Earlier, the YouTube channel "Garosero Research Institute" claimed that the late Kim Sae-ron dated Kim Soo-hyun for about 6 years starting when she was 15 years old. In response, Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, countered, stating, "It's true that he dated the late Kim Sae-ron, but the relationship began after they became adults, specifically from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020."
With the release of the last handwritten letter by the late Kim Sae-ron to Kim Soo-hyun, attention is focused on how Kim Soo-hyun's team will respond.
