South Korean actress Kim Sae Ron tragically passed away on February 9, 2025, due to suicide at the age of 25. Kim Sae Ron's father later revealed his daughter's suffering before she died through an interview with local media on Sunday March 9, 2025.
The actress' father explained that YouTuber Lee Jin Ho was said to be the cause of Kim Sae Ron's mental burden and a journalist from the media contacted him after his daughter's funeral. Not only that, Kim Sae Ron's father also said that Lee Jin Ho called him repeatedly, even during the funeral, to ask whether it was true that Kim Sae Ron was suffering because of him.
"Lee Jin Ho asked if it was true that I said that Sae Ron suffered because of him, as reported by Professor Kwon Young Chan, who visited the funeral. At that time, I was too overwhelmed and only answered that I had talked about the funeral," said Kim Sae Ron's father, quoted on Monday March 10, 2025.
Kim Sae Ron's father later said that he felt there was no need to say more, but the next day a female journalist called him and asked the same thing. "I was still shocked, so I gave the same answer. However, after regaining clarity, I became angry," said Kim Sae Ron's father.
Kim Sae Ron's father later stated that his daughter attempted suicide after watching Lee Jin Ho's video. He then sadly accused Lee Jin Ho of manipulating the conversation, then admitted that he apologized and called only to avoid responsibility.
Lee Jin Ho previously insisted that he made the video under the pretext of 'helping' Kim Sae Ron who was involved in the case. He said that the video was made after consulting with Kim Sae Ron's agency first. "Which of Sae Ron's acquaintances said that? All of her close friends are trying to protect her," said Kim Sae Ron's father.
According to the actress' father, every time Lee Jin Ho uploaded a video, online media was immediately flooded with articles about the video. These articles were later said by Kim Sae Ron's father to have caused great suffering to his daughter. "He was in so much pain, he could barely breathe. Every day was hell," she said.
However, Kim Sae Ron's father admitted that his daughter's drunk driving was wrong. He said that his daughter had been responsible and worked part-time, but according to him, the media actually twisted all the facts, mocking Kim Sae Ron by calling her a part-time ' cosplayer '.
"Lee Jin Ho uploaded a video where he called Sae Ron, and sarcastically questioned whether changing her phone number showed true remorse. That very day, she attempted suicide," Kim Sae Ron's father recalled.
In accordance with Kim Sae Ron's father's words, Lee Jin Ho some time ago uploaded a video where he discussed rumors of Kim Sae Ron's marriage and even called the actress directly. Lee Jin Ho then said that Kim Sae Ron did not have sincerity in self-reflection because she changed her phone number.
