As shocking details continue to emerge about Kim Sae Ron’s tragic passing, attention is now on Kim Soo Hyun, who was rumored to have been in a relationship with her.

On March 11, the YouTube channel GaSeYeon (Garo Sero Institute) released a photo of Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun cheek-kissing along with text messages that her family reportedly provided.

Then, on March 12, media reports revealed a proof of content letter from Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, demanding repayment of ₩700 million KRW (~$520,000 USD) from the late actress.

Kim Sae Ron joined Gold Medalist in 2020 on Kim Soo Hyun’s recommendation when the agency was newly established. However, after her DUI scandal, her contract was not renewed in December 2023. Though reports say the agency covered her fines and damages, her family insists she paid for everything herself.

Later, when she faced financial struggles, Kim Sae Ron reached out to Kim Soo Hyun for help. However, she was met with silence.

According to her family, he changed his phone number, and her messages on KakaoTalk turned to "Unknown," cutting off all contact.

In one heartbreaking text message, Kim Sae Ron pleaded for help, saying:

"Oppa, it's me, Sae Ron. I got the proof of content letter. They said they'd wait before suing, so I’m trying to prepare for my comeback. I’ll repay little by little. It’s not that I won’t pay, but I just can’t do it all at once. Does it really have to go to court?"

Despite this, Gold Medalist allegedly pushed forward with legal threats.

According to Kim Sae Ron’s family, she transferred to Gold Medalist despite her parents’ opposition because she and Kim Soo Hyun "liked each other." However, his agency denies the dating rumors, saying, "The reports are groundless."

What’s even more shocking? Kim Sae Ron passed away on February 16, 2025—Kim Soo Hyun’s birthday.

Before her death, Kim Sae Ron was harassed by malicious commenters and YouTubers, adding to her struggles. After her passing, her family is now left to fight for her honor.

Her aunt, who has been a key representative of the family, spoke to The Fact in an emotional interview. She revealed:

Gold Medalist sent a legal notice for ₩700 million, despite claims that Kim Soo Hyun had personally loaned the money.

The rumored ₩20 billion loss from her DUI was exaggerated. The actual amount she owed was closer to ₩7 billion.

Kim Soo Hyun allegedly fought with his cousin over the repayment issue but ultimately cut ties with her.

When reporters tried to get a response from Gold Medalist, the agency only said, "We need internal discussions," delaying an official statement.

When asked directly, Kim Sae Ron’s family insisted that she and Kim Soo Hyun were in a relationship. Her aunt questioned,

"What kind of parent would lie about their deceased child? Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun were dating."

With unanswered questions and a family desperate for justice, the truth behind this tragic story is still unfolding.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
