KBS bought embarrassment by airing the kissing scene of actors Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo during a concert held to celebrate KBS's 50th anniversary.

On the 3rd of last month, KBS held a special event, "Your KBS, Our 50th Anniversary," to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the public broadcaster. Many stars, including Choi Soo Jong, Chae Si Ra, Kang Ho Dong, and Gummy, attended the event.

During the event, Gummy sang "You Are My Everything," the OST from KBS2's 2016 drama "Descendants of the Sun." A scene of Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo's kissing scene, one of the main scenes of the drama, was introduced on a large screen.

However, netizens had a ridiculous reaction, saying, "Did they have to show the kissing scene of the divorced couple?" "Is this fanning the flames of a burning house?" "KBS should be more careful."

On the other hand, some viewers thought that it was an appropriate footage for the 50th-anniversary special event of KBS, saying, "A drama is just a drama."

Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo co-starred in "Descendants of the Sun" and became a couple, then married in October of the following year. However, they divorced in July 2019 after 1 year and 9 months of marriage.

In January of this year, Song Joong Ki announced his remarriage and the news of his second child through his fan cafe, four years after his divorce. His wife is Katie Louise Saunders, a British actress.

Katie Louise Saunders was born to a British father and a Colombian mother and spent her childhood in London, England, and Italy.

She graduated from the University of Bocconi in Italy and is known as a talented actress who appeared in the movie "The Mercy." She also appeared in a coffee commercial with George Clooney. However, she has stopped acting since 2018.

Kim Sae Ron’s mother is speaking out for the first time following her daughter’s tragic passing, but shocking rumors have left her devastated. She had initially planned a press conference to clear up allegations but had to cancel due to worsening health.

On March 21, a letter from Kim Sae Ron’s mother, Ms. A, was revealed. In her heartfelt message, she poured out her sorrow and deep pain over losing her daughter.

Ms. A shared, “Today, my head aches unbearably, and my chest feels tight. I can’t bring myself to throw away any of your clothes or belongings—I’m holding onto everything. I still sleep while holding onto your pajamas because your scent lingers on them, and I can’t bear to wash them.”

She also painfully reflected on her daughter’s suffering, saying, “You struggled so much, saying you were going to die—are you finally at peace now? You used to joke that if you died, a lot of friends would come to your funeral, and they really did. It made me think, ‘My daughter truly lived a good life.’ It was a great comfort to me and gave me the strength to keep going.”

Ms. A expressed deep regret, saying, “Looking back, everything is filled with nothing but regret. She was constantly tormented. At some point, I think she decided to live as the ‘Kim Sae Ron’ that the news articles created, as if she had truly become that person. I couldn’t accept how she kept trying to let go of the world.”

She also addressed the criticism her family has faced, saying, “I only wished for something like this to never happen again, but all I get in return are words that deny my existence and demands for explanations.”

A letter written by Kim Sae Ron to her mother in 2022 was also revealed. In the touching note, the actress had written, “Mom, I’m always grateful and I love you. Thank you for being born, and thank you for being my mom. In my next life, I’ll be born as your daughter again so I can receive only love.”

Meanwhile, it was revealed that Kim Sae Ron’s beloved pet dog ‘Neoguri,’ whom she adopted from a shelter, was by her side at the time of her passing and is now being cared for by her family.

However, even as her family grieves, new shocking allegations have surfaced. Rumors are spreading that Kim Sae Ron had secretly married her boyfriend in the U.S. shortly before her death and had even undergone an abortion.

Outraged by these claims, Ms. A initially planned a press conference to set the record straight. However, her health has taken a serious hit—reports say she is suffering from facial paralysis and extreme stress, making it impossible for her to proceed. Instead, she released her letter to express her pain.

Ms. A and the bereaved family firmly denied the marriage rumors, saying, “This is the first time we are hearing about this.” They are now discussing legal action, believing these rumors are causing irreversible damage to Kim Sae Ron’s reputation.

Amid the growing controversy, Kim Sae Ron’s agency Gold Medalist has filed a lawsuit against her family. On March 20, the agency stated, “A photograph of Kim Soo Hyun’s body, which could evoke sexual shame, was made public. Such an image should never be released to the public, nor is there any justification for doing so.” They added, “Due to concerns that similar actions may occur again, we had no choice but to file a complaint against Kim Sae Ron’s bereaved family.”

As the legal battle intensifies, many are worried that the real issue—Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron’s alleged underage relationship—might be getting buried under the growing controversy.
