Sulli's brother posted another cryptic message with a reference to Real.Is he just musing due to recent events…
My main takeaway is when he said he was spun and is uncertain, and even if he said something it wouldn't make a difference, so why poke the bear? But if he is going to poke the bear anyway, then more power to him! I hope he doesn't get ate!
How does he still have 20.2mill followers. (pedo followers?)
There's probably a million or three abandoned accounts and an equal number of ghost accounts (which merely follow & capture into private databases, but never like or post.) Then guesstimate the typical bot armies and you can maybe subtract another ten.
Not to be rude, but that is impossible and kinda irrelevant. The drama aired and received high ratings, that will…
Sorry. You're not being rude and no offense taken. I can admit I regret posting that.
I enjoyed QOT thoroughly last year as you did. I watched it with subs and then rewatched each episode with dubs while doing chores while waiting for the next one to drop. And remakes are never as good as the original.
But I can't rewatch it again unless someone uploads a supercut of just Ji Won's scenes — or just every moment of screen time without him in it. I would watch that!
Lots of people will get to see it! I prefer subtitles, but it's nice to be able to rewatch with dubbing on while doing chores while waiting for the next episode to drop.
(Speculating just for fun) Maybe KSH is a victim too and did as he was told? What if there exists a master puppet…
That's what he wants us to think. So he can get away scot-free! Or maybe KSH's dad is the puppet master, and they really are like the Tate bros, as you said? 🤔
I keep asking the people that support KsH what proof he has provided and it’s usually crickets. He has lost…
(Speculating just for fun) Maybe KSH is a victim too and did as he was told? What if there exists a master puppet master who was yanking KSH's strings while he in turn yanked Sae Ron's?
If there is a master puppet master in this IRL makjang drama, my guess for who it would be is the CEO of Gold Medalist studio. The CEO currently goes by the name Lee Sa Rang, after having changed it once or twice for unknown reasons. LSR is KSH's older half-brother on their mother's side. At one point KSH referred to him as his cousin. What if LSR is setting KSH up as a fall guy while he schemes for his own self-preservation?
LSR produced the soft porn movie Real (2017) and also stepped in as its director (uncredited) after the original one left. The film starred KSH and co-starred Sulli, whose story is as tragic as that of Sae Ron's. Her nude scenes resulted in her being trashed by the entertainment media and cyber-bullied. And she suffered anxiety, panic attacks and depression. In 2019 Sulli made the drastic choice to take her own life. Neither KSH or LSR ever said or did a single thing in support of Sulli. Instead, they abandoned her to the hungry media hounds to tear her apart.
My favorite chuckle was when GM's lawyers argued, 'Our client who never dated Sae Ron nor ever visited her apartment is subject to embarrassment & fear of sexualization from people viewing the nudie pic of him wearing her mother's blouse while washing dishes in her apartment!'
Is it confirmed that the whole husband and abortion thing was fake?
Regarding KSR's possible marriage & abortion, so far there have been released: - a few photos accompanied by the word "Marry" were uploaded to Instagram by KSR - A total of three audio voice recordings spanning two videos were uploaded to YouTube by Lee Jin Ho - A total of two livestreams via YouTube were presented by Garosero
The first of the three voice recordings was captured by KSR's manager's phone and the conversation is between between himself & presumably KSR as they discuss the photos, her marriage & pregnancy. Her family disputes the rumors and do not think the voice belongs to their daughter. The manager released a statement: "I never provided the transcript or gave consent to Lee Jin Ho for its release. He uploaded the video without my consent." [Note: he says the word video instead of voice recordings because LJH's video includes the audio accompanied by subtitles, in Hangul. The male voice has been scrambled to mask his identity.] There has also been pushback on the authenticity of the first voice recording by both C-Netizens & Chosen Sports. [Note: While I was unable to locate the relevant text in the Chosen Sports link (below), it does include an image of analysis of the first voice recording provided by Lee Jin Ho. This analysis shows evidence that the audio has been manipulated, with gaps (shown as black spaces) in between audio clips. Normally there would be a waveform representing the background noise amidst the conversation.] https://www.koreaboo.com/news/bombshell-voice-recordings-kim-sae-ron-released-alleged-husband/ https://x.com/translatingsk/status/1902345625838219549 https://en.sportschosun.com/celebrity/2025/03/husbands-domestic-violence-revealed-again-kim-sae-ron-scapegoats-57479
On Garasero's first of the two livestreams, he conveyed the family's reaction to the first voice recording. They had never heard of Sae Ron having married, and rejected the allegation that their daughter had had an abortion. He also presents the mother's response in the form of a pre-recorded video featuring her handwritten letter accompanied by narration. It is explained that the mother wanted to record herself reading the letter, but was too exhausted to do so. An AI voice was used in her place. https://www.youtube.com/live/G9QlgXxN28Y?t=3262
On his most recent livestream, Garasero reported that he & the group of KSR's friends got together at her mother's house and talked all through the night. He further claimed that "after interviewing late Kim Sae Ron’s friends, 90% of them stated that Lee Jin Ho, Kim Soo Hyun, and his agency were linked to the reasons behind Kim Sae Ron’s death. They argued that Lee Jin Ho's claims about Kim Sae Ron's pregnancy, marriage, & abortion within the span of a month were entirely unrealistic." https://www.youtube.com/live/HYnYQzubX14?t=2900

Second of all you need a bunch more Lee's

I am referring to an alleged diary which was referenced by KSR's auntie near the beginning of this scandal, about two weeks ago.

- a few photos accompanied by the word "Marry" were uploaded to Instagram by KSR
- A total of three audio voice recordings spanning two videos were uploaded to YouTube by Lee Jin Ho
- A total of two livestreams via YouTube were presented by Garosero
KSR's Instagram post appeared only briefly and featured photos of herself along with her presumed then-boyfriend/alleged-husband. The post included a single word: "Marry". KSR subesequently told the media that the marriage rumors were untrue.

The second and third voice recordings are allegedly between KSR's manager and a close female friend/co-worker of KSR. This conversation was recorded on the day of KSR's death (also KSH's birthday) and includes discussions about KSR's marriage, spousal abuse, her pregnancy, and abortion.

Until the audio files have been verified (or unless either side makes a relevant admission), we must wait until forensics has examined the evidence.
