Say it louder! I’m so sick of people trying to victim-shame the family by saying that even if the allegations turn out to be true, it’s somehow the parents' fault. Are people forgetting that if that logic applied, they’d have to hold their fave’s mom and family accountable too? The hypocrisy is unreal

Hope the family finds a better communication channel than Garo Sero. I initially supported the channel since they were among the few willing to bring this news online, but after the last few days, I think it’s best for the family to move on.

First, Garo Sero reportedly has a reputation for being cyberbullies (though I’m not entirely sure about this). Second, they apparently claimed KSH is a Chinese spy or communist, which is just ridiculous. Yes, Alibaba Pictures was an investor and distributor for Real, but throwing around baseless accusations only distracts from the actual grooming and pedophilia-related allegations against him. (Again, I don’t speak Korean, so this is based on what I’ve seen on MDL and Twitter.)

I got him too 🤢

You said it yourself—she was an unloyal friend. If someone abandons their best friend after they’ve passed, they were never truly a friend to begin with. That’s why I find it hard to believe her. Just my opinion, though—you’re entitled to yours.

I wasn’t aware of the video yet, so thanks for the info. But my point still stands—why would she give a recording to Lee Jinho of all people? He’s repeatedly defamed Sae Ron and has a reputation as a cyberwrecker. It just doesn’t add up. And if you’re only here to defend him, please don’t reply to me again. I haven’t attacked your fave here, so leave me out of it.

Let’s be real—it’s almost impossible to imagine a friend like this actually existing. If someone knew about her alleged marriage, abortion, and the fact that her husband was an abusive drunkard, wouldn’t they have spoken up the moment she passed away? If they had a recording where she admitted to being in an abusive marriage, why wasn’t it handed over to her family or the police immediately? I was almost willing to believe that Sae Ron might have been married and that the recordings could be real, but what kind of friend waits this long to say something?

I don’t get why people believe celebrities can be completely clean. I’m not saying there aren’t good ones out there, but the reality is that the entertainment industry is riddled with corruption and shady dealings. There’s a reason so many rumors circulate. Sure, some might be exaggerated or completely false, but many are just watered-down versions of the truth.

At this point, I just hope Garosero doesn’t end up ruining all the goodwill people have for Sae Ron. Making a claim that KSH has done something worse than the *Nth Room* case is a massive statement—if they don’t have solid evidence to back it up and just drop another photo or video screenshot, it’s only going to damage their credibility. No wonder many K-netz are already calling them out for using such an extreme reference.

Forget innocent until proven guilty—all they have is a deleted photo with the caption Marry and an audio recording that might be real. But where’s the actual solid evidence to back up these claims? Oh right, evidence only seems to matter when it’s about protecting their oppa’s reputation.

That’s the biggest question I always have for wealthy, attractive people—why risk everything by doing this? The only logical explanation is either they aren’t attracted to people their age, or worse, people their age can see right through their pathetic behavior. Cue Olivia Rodrigo’s Vampire - 'Cause girls your age know better.'

Not necessarily. I understand why a fan might feel bad for their favorite celebrity, but the real question is whether you'd still defend them despite knowing they've done something wrong. Turning a blind eye to their actions doesn’t make you a loyal fan—it makes you complicit.

Exactly. The questions surrounding her family might be valid, but anyone who truly supports Sae Ron should understand that they’re the only ones fighting for her justice.

Most probably because the media is back to covering only Ksh and Gold Medalist's side. It's really hard to find anything that is from KSR's family.

Yep, the mob mentality is exactly why I avoid engaging with his die-hard fans. I accidentally replied to one from my personal account, and it turned into a never-ending argument. One minute, they were calling KSR an "attention-seeking whore," and the next, they were claiming their idol and his fans actually respect the deceased. The hypocrisy is unreal. 😭

Same here. I can’t even open Threads without seeing hundreds of comments bending over backward to defend him in every possible way ☠️.

Yeah, I posted about the same thing a while ago. I can’t even begin to imagine the kind of media trial she would have faced if she had ever tried to speak out. And that’s just the media—let’s not forget that they sent her two legal notices to silence her back during QoT

I'm not sure if I'm the best person to explain this, but based on the news articles I've read, a YouTuber named Lee Jinho—who's currently being sued by Kim Sae Ron's family—has released new videos making serious claims about her. According to a voice recording he shared, she was allegedly married to an abusive man, had an abortion, suffered a knife injury to her neck, and that this man was the one managing her social media accounts.

I can't say whether these claims are true or not, but what stands out is that Lee Jinho has used voice recordings of Sae Ron and an agency official, who is most likely someone from Gold Medalist. The real question is: if these recordings are authentic, who leaked them to him?

Another thing to note is that Sae Ron reportedly posted pictures with a man in January with the caption *Marry* but later deleted them, stating they were just from a photoshoot. If her alleged husband was controlling her account, how was she able to remove them? And even more importantly, if she was in a long-term relationship with someone else and he was supposedly managing her social media, how did she manage to post the picture with Kim Soo Hyun during the *Queen of Tears* premiere?

Exactly. Not saying everything would have been forgotten, but maybe—just maybe—her family wouldn’t have taken such a strong stance against him. The reality is, it’s been incredibly tough for them, especially since reports suggest that most media outlets refused to cover their side of the story. Garosero was the only one willing to put this news out there, which says a lot about the kind of resistance they’ve been facing.

Also, it’s honestly pathetic how his fans keep contradicting themselves. First, they were bending over backward to claim the censored pic wasn’t him, and even if it was, he was supposedly wearing shorts. Now, his agency is suing for *sexual embarrassment*—which is basically just confirming that it *was* him and that the censorship was absolutely necessary💁🏻☠️.

I completely agree with all the points you made. As you said, the public—the ones actually spending money on these endorsed products—isn't going to forget this scandal anytime soon. Even if the brands somehow managed to prove everything false, continuing to associate with him would still bring bad publicity. At the end of the day, whether KSH likes it or not, this whole situation has already left a sour taste.
