In recent days, tensions have escalated between the family of the late actress Kim Sae-ron and actor Kim Soo-hyun. As the former accusing Kim Soo-hyun of “grooming” Kim Sae-ron since she was a minor and the latter finally admitting to the relationship but insisting that it only started after Kim Sae-ron became an adult.
However, despite their attempts to blame Kim Soo-hyun for Kim Sae-ron’s death, the public believes that the family cannot escape responsibility either, and many people feel deep sorrow over Kim Sae-ron’s tragic fate. Throughout her career, she played characters with painful destinies—roles that, in hindsight, seem to have foreshadowed her own life.
One of Kim Sae-ron’s most famous films, “The Man From Nowhere”, features a particularly haunting line, where the late actress’ character said, “Mister? I embarrass you too, right? That’s why you ignored me? It’s okay. My teacher and all the kids do that too. Mom said that if I get lost, I should forget our address and phone number. She gets drunk and says we should die. Even though that pig called me a bum… you’re meaner. But I don’t hate you. Because if I do, I won’t have anyone I like. Thinking about it hurts me here. So I won’t hate you.”
Many believe this dialogue encapsulates the sorrow of Kim Sae-ron’s life. She was born into a struggling family and had to start acting at a young age to support her loved ones. Her family depended on her, putting immense pressure on her shoulders.
In past interviews, Kim Sae-ron shared that she grew up in basically a single-parent household. After her parents’ divorce, her mother fell into depression due to financial struggles and was unable to care for her three daughters. In a moment of despair, she attempted to take her own life along with her children by jumping from a building.
Kim Sae-ron, terrified, clung to the railing and begged her mother to stop. Fortunately, her mother regained her senses and abandoned the attempt. However, the traumatic experience left a deep psychological scar on Kim Sae-ron. Her mother later revealed that the actress often woke up in the middle of the night, fearing that she would be taken away to die. To support her family, Kim Sae-ron chose to pursue acting.
Perhaps, for her, love with Kim Soo-hyun was a rare source of warmth and happiness—a light in her dark life. In fact, even when she received a debt collection notice from Kim Soo-hyun’s agency (formerly also Kim Sae-ron’s agency), the late actress reportedly never believed this decision came from him personally.
She even sent him messages, pleading for help. The intimate photo she posted with Kim Soo-hyun was not meant to harm him, but rather a desperate attempt to get her former boyfriend to respond. However, at the time, Kim Soo-hyun denied their relationship, leading to severe public backlash against Kim Sae-ron. She was branded a liar, but she remained silent, unwilling to damage his reputation. In the end, Kim Sae-ron passed away on February 16 Kim Soo-hyun’s birthday. The timing of her death sent chills through the public.
Below are some comments from netizens regarding the aforementioned dialogue:
- – It’s like she was speaking to Kim Soo-hyun directly.
- I don’t know the full story of this scandal, but she suffered since childhood, carrying her whole family on her back
- The person who suffered the most is now gone, asking for nothing. Meanwhile, the involved parties that wronged her are fighting for their own interests. So heartbreaking
- That line… it feels like it predicted her stormy, short-lived life
- Even in the movie, her protector came too late
- That dialogue truly reflects Kim Sae-ron’s real life.
