Kim Sae Ron's haunting final message hinting at suicidal thoughts goes viral amid Kim Soo Hyun dating scandal: 'If I die, please…'
A private note believed to be the last message from late actress Kim Sae Ron has gone viral online, drawing fresh attention as controversy grows around actor Kim Soo Hyun. The renewed interest follows allegations that the actor was involved in a relationship with Kim when she was just 15 years old. Kim Soo Hyun's team has strongly denied any claims of underage dating, stating the relationship began only after Kim Sae Ron reached adulthood. However, her family insists the two had been romantically involved for years before she turned 18, prompting heated online discussions. Kim Sae Ron's heartbreaking message resurfaces Kim Sae Ron's message, reportedly posted on her private social media in September—five months before her death—has resurfaced following this dispute. According to The Korea Times, the note hinted at suicidal thoughts and unresolved pain. 'If I die, please capture this and share it,' she wrote, followed by a list of people who had supported her. 'They are the ones who saved me.' She also called out those who abandoned her during her lowest point, writing, 'To the ones who left me when I was struggling the most, I hope you reflect on everything you received from me.' Referring to her 2022 drunk driving controversy, she added, 'The breathalyzer showed 0, the blood test showed a high level but that was from the day before... I compensated for all the damages anyway. At least now, I won't be in pain anymore.' Signs of repeated self-harm raised red flags before her death Earlier, Dispatch reported that an eyewitness, Kim Sae Ron's neighbour, had noticed multiple marks on Kim Sae Ron's hands and body that appeared consistent with repeated self-harm. The source claimed the scars were visible and expressed concern for her well-being at the time.

His agency, Gold Medalist, also hit back against rumours that he lent Kim Sae Ron money or pressured her to repay debts. They stated that any financial matters were between her and the company, not Kim personally.

Old Scandals Resurface Amid Son Heung-min's Abortion Row
Last Updated: Just like Son Heung-min, South Korean celebrities like Kim Seon Ho and Kim Hyun Joong were previously accused of forcing "abortion" on their former partners. South Korean football icon Son Heung-min became the centre of a controversy. The captain of Tottenham Hotspur is in the headlines due to his ex-girlfriend. Son's former girlfriend reportedly claimed she was pregnant in June last year. Though the paternity test results were never revealed, the footballer paid her 300 million KRW and had her sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement), upon which she terminated her pregnancy. Later, the ex-girlfriend's new partner got to know about the NDA and tried to blackmail Son Heung-min for another 70 million KRW. This led to a police complaint and, ultimately, jail time for the blackmailer. As the situation unfolded, many noticed an eerie similarity to past celebrity scandals, especially the deeply sensitive issue of forced abortion. Here are other South Korean celebrities who were embroiled in such controversies. Kim Seon Ho Back in 2021, actor Kim Seon Ho, who became popular for his role in Hometown Cha Cha Cha, faced serious allegations from his ex-girlfriend, who claimed he forced her to have an 'abortion". After the incident came to light, the actor faced immense backlash from the public, which even led him to take a hiatus from the industry. Later, an investigation by Dispatch, known for its celebrity exposes, revealed that the claims made by his girlfriend were baseless. They reported that Kim Seon Ho broke up with his girlfriend upon knowing about her infidelity. Moreover, the abortion was mutually agreed upon. Following the report, Kim Seon Ho bounced back with notable projects like The Tyrant and When Life Gives You Tangerines. Kim Hyun Joong Kim Hyun Joong, who is known for his role in Lee Min Ho starrer Boys Over Flowers, faced even more serious accusations. His former partner accused him of physical abuse and pressuring her into an 'abortion". She sought massive damages in court and also gave birth to their child in 2015. However, after a long legal fight, the South Korean Supreme Court ruled in favour of Kim in 2020, stating that her claims were unfounded. The court also ordered her to pay 100 million KRW in damages to Kim. The actor-singer returned to acting in 2024 with the Japanese-Korean drama titled Time Without Her. Heo Ung Basketball player Heo Ung of the Busan KCC Egis faced a similar situation. In June 2024, his ex-girlfriend accused him of coercing her into two abortions and continued to extort money from him for three years, even breaking up with him in 2021. She threatened to go public unless he paid her. Eventually, the basketball player filed a lawsuit against her at Gangnam Police Station for blackmail and defamation. After a thorough investigation, the authorities found that the woman's claims were false, and she used them for financial gain. The case was ultimately dismissed. First Published:
