The controversy surrounding the late actress Kim Sae Ron has taken a distressing turn. Reports claim that a member of her family recently attempted to take their own life amid mounting tensions linked to the ongoing dispute with actor Kim Soo Hyun.

As per Koreaboo, local media reports suggest the incident occurred just days before the family was scheduled to attend a group screening of Kim Sae Ron’s final film, Before We Knew, at a cinema in Seoul. The family member was unable to attend the event after the reported attempt, the situation took a severe emotional toll on those close to the late actress.

A source familiar with the family’s circumstances was quoted saying, “The only thing the family wants from Kim Soo Hyun is for him to acknowledge all the facts and offer a sincere apology to the deceased.” The source further alleged that the actor’s response has intensified their distress, adding, “Instead, Kim Soo Hyun and his lawyer have claimed that the family is spreading false information with fabricated evidence, causing them indescribable pain.”

The same source pointed to earlier grievances, saying, “Two years ago, when Kim Soo Hyun denied their relationship, the deceased was denied her existence. During the process of reimbursing accident-related expenses, the family suffered again due to the outrageous actions of Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, shedding tears of blood. Although a hundred apologies wouldn’t be enough, it’s baffling that they are trying to frame the family as criminals.”

Kim Sae Ron was found dead at her home in Seoul in February last year. In the months that followed, her family publicly claimed that she had been in a long-term relationship with Kim Soo Hyun, alleging that it began when she was a minor. They have since called for acknowledgment and a public apology.

Kim Soo Hyun’s representatives have denied these claims, maintaining that the relationship, if any, began only after she reached adulthood. The disagreement has since escalated into a legal battle, with both sides filing lawsuits and counterclaims, including allegations of defamation and violations of child welfare laws.
