Kim Sae Ron's first trial for violating traffic laws due to drunk driving was just held on March 8. During the trial, he was charged with a fine of 20 million won (Rp. 234 million) because his blood alcohol level exceeded 0.2% and he ran away after vandalizing public facilities.
However, during the trial, lawyer Kim Sae Ron asked for leniency because his client was experiencing financial difficulties after paying some compensation due to the damage to public facilities he had caused. After the trial, the actress also confessed that she had to work part time to survive.
Launching Kookmin Ilbo, although the actress has emphasized the economic situation she is facing several times, Kim Sae Ron hired two law firms to handle her case in court. New Daily reports that, after investigation, one of these firms is included in the top 10 law firms in South Korea. Kim Sae Ron reportedly hired 6 lawyers from the two firms, one of whom is a former chief prosecutor.
For your information, lawyers who previously held high positions in the attorney general's office or court usually have much higher rates than regular lawyers. Apart from hiring several top lawyers, it is reported that Kim Sae Ron also still has assets worth billions of won which is far greater than the compensation he paid. In 2020, Kim Sae Ron showed off his house and luxury car when he appeared on tvN "On and Off."
During the event, the actress revealed that she lives in a luxury apartment, Seoul Forest The Sharp, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, whose selling price is estimated at 2.3 billion won (Rp. 27 billion). Still at the same event, he was also seen driving a Volvo CX40 car which has a price of 50 million won (Rp. 586 million).
Not only that, in 2021 Kim Sae Ron was also seen driving a Bentley Convertible vehicle with a factory price of over 200 million won (Rp. 2.3 billion) through his social media. At the time of the drunk driving incident, he was also driving a Range Rover worth 100 million won (Rp 1.1 billion).
A series of these astonishing facts made it even more difficult for the public to believe that Kim Sae Ron was experiencing financial difficulties because of the incident. They make comments like, "How much money does it take to hire a lawyer like that?" and "Celebrities don't seem to know the meaning of 'hard life.'"
Meanwhile, on May 18 last year, Kim Sae Ron crashed into a guardrail, a tree, and a transformer while driving under the influence of alcohol near the Hakdong intersection, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Kim Sae Ron's blood alcohol level at that time was 0.227%, exceeding the alcohol limit for revoking a driver's license.
