Kim Sae-ron's husband releases statement: The ongoing investigation into the death of Korean actress Kim Sae-Ron has taken a dramatic turn with the emergence of a key figure who has been at the center of controversy. An individual claiming to be Kim Sae-Ron's husband has come forward, breaking his silence on the allegations surrounding their marriage and the circumstances leading up to her tragic passing in February. This development has shed new light on the case, which had been marred by speculation and rumors about Kim Sae-Ron's personal life and relationships.

In a stunning revelation, a close friend and ex-boyfriend of Kim Sae-Ron, who has chosen to remain anonymous, has shared explosive details about her marriage to an American man in January 2025. According to the friend, Kim Sae-Ron's husband was responsible for inflicting physical and mental abuse upon her, which ultimately contributed to her decision to end her life. The anonymous friend has also vehemently denied any involvement of Korean actor Kim Soo-Hyun in Kim Sae-Ron's death, dismissing rumours and speculation that had been circulating online. Furthermore, the friend has launched a scathing attack on Kim Sae-Ron's family, accusing them of being indifferent to her struggles during her final months, only to suddenly show interest in her affairs after her passing, seemingly for their own selfish gain.

Kim Sae-ron's husband breaks silence on assault accusations

In a statement, Kim Sae-ron's husband, in a statement through Garo Sero Research Institute, noted, "Hello. This is the late Kim Sae Ron’s husband. I wondered if it was right for me to step up because I am still in pain, and unable to get out of my own feelings. I wondered if I would be causing damage to Sae Ron and her bereaved. Although I carefully considered it a few times, there have been so many distorted facts that are being spread, thanks to a couple of forces. I made the judgement that severe slander of the deceased was happening, and have written this statement in order to set the facts straight. I was just living life as I did, an ordinary person, when I met Kim Sae Ron around mid-to-late November 2024, thanks to an introduction from an acquaintance. Thanks to having strong attraction to each other despite the short time, we got married legally in America, where I live, on January 12, 2025, with only witnesses present. Later, we decided to void the marriage upon agreement from both parties, due to the fact that we got married too quickly without serious consideration out of having fallen in love, as well as due to practical problems of a long-distance relationship, and differences in personalities."

Clarifying assault accusations, he further noted, “The house I am currently residing in, in America, is a quiet apartment complex with very weak soundproofing. It is built such that if assault had taken place, the floor below would immediately make a report. In addition, assault in America results in strong legal responsibility. I am someone who has received a thorough upbringing in America. After I met Kim Sae Ron for the first time, from November 2024 to February 2025, we have met up a total of 4 times. Apart from the first time I met her in November 2024, as I have to go to work, the last three times were when she came to visit me in America every month. If I did really lock her up and assault her, why would Kim Sae Ron voluntarily come to America each time? For myself, I also felt sorry that she had to sit through a long flight and go through the strict immigrations procedure at the airport, so I did my best financially and emotionally for her, so that she would be content whenever she visited America.”

On monitoring the late actress’ actions, her husband said, “As we were in a long-distance relationship, we did not restrict access to each other’s cellphones and social media accounts in terms of passwords. In actuality, Kim Sae Ron used my phone to contact people many times, and we freely shared our passwords with each other, and more, in order to build trust as a married couple. I can tell you that in actuality, we exchanged our passwords, etc, through DMs, as well as wrote promises to each other as a couple, and were also open with other information as agreed between us mutually.”

He also gave details on pregnancy abortion accusations, stating, “Lastly, on March 18, 2025, someone contacted me anonymously, claiming to be Kim Sae Ron’s acquaintance. I will show you the message I received from them. I continued to talk to them, as I believed them to be someone I knew, but they lied and said that they were her older male cousin, and tried to provoke me multiple times, asking me about falsehoods such as why I assaulted her, blackmailed her, etc. When I said that I would be taking legal actions, they immediately stopped contacting me. If needed, I will request for a fair and just police inspection. Please immediately cease the spread of falsehoods about a deceased person’s personal life.”
