Recent reports have raised troubling allegations about the personal life of South Korean actress Kim Sae Ron, who tragically passed away in 2025. YouTuber Lee Jin Ho claims that the actress was secretly married to a Korean-American man living in New York, adding a new layer of controversy to her final months, which were already marked by personal struggles and public scandals.
The “Marry” Post and the Mystery Surrounding Her Relationship
In January 2025, Kim Sae Ron posted a series of photos featuring a mystery man, with the caption “Marry.” The images were quickly deleted, fueling speculation about her marital status. At the time, her agency dismissed the rumors, asserting that the pictures were simply part of a concept shoot with a close friend.
However, new voice recordings have surfaced between Kim Sae Ron and a former agency staff member, allegedly confirming that she was indeed married. In the recordings, Kim Sae Ron reportedly said, "Yes, we already did it" when asked if she had a wedding ceremony, and when asked whether it was held in Korea, she allegedly responded, “Overseas.”
Struggles and Abuse Allegations in Her Marriage
The leaked recordings suggest that Kim Sae Ron was initially not planning to marry her boyfriend. She had reportedly been preparing to break up with him but unexpectedly became pregnant. Later, she confirmed in the recording that she had an abortion, stating, "No, I got an abortion. But because of that, we ended up getting married."
She further described her husband as having a bad temper and claimed he would "subtly threaten me about it." She also described him as "kinda insane" when drunk, adding that he became controlling and monitored her social media accounts. Additionally, she claimed that her husband forced her to delete KakaoTalk and use Telegram for communication.
Reports indicate that her husband was a non-celebrity office worker at a major corporation in New York. Kim Sae Ron’s parents were reportedly aware of the situation, but they allegedly supported her husband’s actions.
Kim Sae Ron’s Family Denies Allegations and Files Defamation Lawsuit
Following these explosive claims, Kim Sae Ron's family has filed a lawsuit against YouTuber Lee Jin Ho for defamation and harassment. They argue that the allegations are unfounded and accuse him of using the ongoing controversy surrounding her past relationship with actor Kim Soo Hyun as a distraction from the truth.
As investigations continue, fans of Kim Sae Ron are divided, with some questioning the authenticity of the claims while others demand clarity and transparency regarding the circumstances leading to her untimely death.
