YouTuber Lee Jin Ho claims to reveal the truth hidden by the late Kim Sae Ron’s family

On March 19th, YouTuber Lee Jin Ho released a shocking video titled "The Truth Hidden by late Kim Sae Ron’s Family." In the video, Lee addressed the recent lawsuit filed against him by late Kim Sae Ron’s family, stating that he is willing to take responsibility and apologize if he is found at fault.

Recently, the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute claimed that Lee Jin Ho created content about the late actress Kim Sae Ron under the direction of her former agency, Golden Medalist. However, Lee firmly denied these allegations, stating that he did not act under any instructions from Golden Medalist. Lee also addressed allegations that “over 100 media outlets were contacted about Kim Sae Ron’s situation, but none of them published an article.” He stated that this claim is false and misleading.

The most startling revelation in Lee’s video was the claim that Kim Sae Ron had been secretly married. He presented Kim’s January 8th Instagram post captioned “Marry” as evidence of this alleged marriage. At the time, Kim explained that the post was just a snapshot taken with a friend and denied being married. However, Lee claimed this was not true and proceeded to share an alleged recorded conversation between Kim Sae Ron and her agency representative.

In the recording, Kim was asked, “What’s with that picture?” to which she reportedly replied, “My boyfriend posted it, not me.” The agency representative allegedly responded, “Is he crazy? I’ve been denying this, so you need to give me a straight answer. He’s going to post it again, right? You’re coming back to Korea on the 10th, aren’t you?” Kim then answered, “I’m coming back to Korea on the 13th, so I’ll arrive on the 14th.”

The conversation allegedly continued with the agency representative asking, “Where are you?” and Kim replying, “My boyfriend lives in New York.” When pressed about whether she was in a relationship or married, Kim reportedly confirmed, “Yes, we already got married overseas.”

Kim also allegedly revealed that she had a previous relationship with an ex-boyfriend referred to as 'B,' which ended due to company issues. According to the recording, Kim said that she had become pregnant with her current boyfriend but later had an abortion, which ultimately led to their marriage. Her current boyfriend is said to be a corporate employee in New York, whom she met through a mutual acquaintance. Kim also allegedly stated that her boyfriend was managing her social media accounts, including Instagram, and had posted the “Marry” post without her full consent before deleting it.

Lee also claimed that Kim’s hospitalization following a suicide attempt resulted in medical expenses exceeding 20 million KRW (approximately $15,000), which were not covered by her family but instead by her agency. He urged late Kim’s family to clarify the facts surrounding this matter.

Lee Jin Ho concluded by revealing that Kim’s family had also raised issues about her past relationship with actor Kim Soo Hyun. However, he emphasized that Kim had married her current boyfriend in the United States and suggested that more transparency was needed from late Kim’s family regarding the situation.

The allegations and revelations made by Lee Jin Ho have sparked significant public interest and controversy. Late Kim Sae Ron’s family and her former agency have yet to respond to Lee’s claims.
