In a significant development that has sent shockwaves through the Korean entertainment industry and among Indian K-drama fans, the ongoing legal case involving prominent actors Kim Soo Hyun and the late Kim Sae Ron has taken a dramatic turn. The mother of the deceased actress has come forward with what she claims is compelling new evidence supporting her allegations that the two stars were involved in a relationship when her daughter was underage.
Mother Breaks Silence with Legal Statement
According to reports from news outlet OSEN, Kim Sae Ron's mother has chosen to publicly share new evidence through her legal representatives. In an emotional statement released to the press, she revealed, "I am Sae-ron's mother. After much thought, I have gathered the courage to write this. Our case is currently under investigation."
The mother further explained that investigative authorities had advised both parties to avoid media contact, a recommendation she claims to have accepted despite her decision to now go public with these revelations. This move marks a significant escalation in the long-running legal dispute that has captivated audiences across India and Southeast Asia.
Four Crucial Pieces of Evidence Revealed
On November 26, Kim Sae Ron's mother presented four distinct pieces of evidence to support her claims. The first evidence includes text messages and statements from Sae Ron's unnamed acquaintance, who allegedly witnessed Kim Soo Hyun driving the young actress to the airport while she was still a minor.
More intriguingly, the acquaintance claimed that Kim Sae Ron had changed her cats' names to match characters from Soo Hyun's popular drama series 'The Moon Embracing the Sun', naming them 'Sun' and 'Moon'. This detail has particularly resonated with Indian K-drama enthusiasts who are familiar with the historical fantasy series.
The second piece of evidence consists of messages allegedly sent by Kim Sae Ron to Kim Soo Hyun on September 28, 2017, shortly before his military enlistment on October 23, 2017. In these messages, the young actress expressed her desire to spend time with him before his enlistment, with one excerpt reading: "I can't say that I want to spend every day together with you? You don't want to? Is that how you feel? Your feelings? Do you want me to say it for real? It's depressing, really depressing, but I'm not saying this just because you're going to the military."
Intimate Messages and Emotional Letter
The third evidence presented includes screenshots of text exchanges between the two actors from February 2018. Kim Sae Ron's mother specifically highlighted the use of heart emoticons and affectionate nicknames in these messages, suggesting a relationship beyond professional boundaries.
The final piece of evidence is perhaps the most emotional - a letter previously released by her legal representatives that Kim Sae Ron allegedly sent to Kim Soo Hyun. In this correspondence, the 'Mirror of the Witch' actress expressed discomfort around her management company's employees and reflected on their relationship.
A particularly poignant section of the letter stated: "After I left the agency, no one would respond to my requests to talk. I didn't want to bother you. I truly wish for you to be happy. We had been dating for 5-6 years, you were my first love and my last love, so I wish you wouldn't avoid me. Seeing you avoid me and not even acknowledging me makes me feel like all the time we spent together was meaningless. Can we please stay friends?"
Legal Implications and Industry Impact
This new development comes at a sensitive time for both actors' careers and the broader Korean entertainment industry, which enjoys massive popularity among Indian audiences. The allegations, if proven true, could have serious legal consequences given the claim that the relationship began when Kim Sae Ron was a minor.
The case continues to unfold as investigative authorities proceed with their examination of the new evidence. Indian fans of both actors have expressed mixed reactions on social media platforms, with many awaiting further developments in this complex legal drama that bridges celebrity culture and legal accountability.
