South Korean actor Kim Soo Hyun’s relationship with late actress Kim Sae Ron has been making headlines for several reasons. After a shocking video of the late actress’ aunt where she made several allegations, Kim Soo Hyun’s letter to  Sae Ron from his military days went viral on social media recently. The handwritten letter was from June 9, 2018, when he was enlisted in the military. At that time, Kim Soo Hyun was 30 years old and Kim Sae Ron was 17 years old. 

Kim Soo Hyun addressed the actress as Saero Nero. The actor wrote the letter in a poetic manner, where he talked about his day at base as a soldier, he spoke about the weather and everything he did during his training period. He mentioned that he doesn’t want to burden her and wrote a Korean phrase to her that is often used for making a request. The English translation of the phrase read, ‘Please take good care of me.’ 

Kim Soo Hyun’s Letter To Kim Sae Ron (Translated) 

Hyun wrote, “2018. 6. 9 Saero-Nero, Today, the weather was so unpredictable that I felt like I was being tossed around in all directions this wonderful Saturday. What a great day for writing something and thinking about you, Saero-Nero. This morning, in the foggy haze, I wondered, ‘What kind of a day will it be today…?’ Caught up in that feeling, I went straight to the noraebang (karaoke) and tried some Shin Seung Hoon songs, butchered them, and got in trouble for doing him disgrace… Maybe an hour or so later, the sun started blazing—the same sun that messed with my skin. I thought, ‘This is a sign.’ So, I grabbed some oil and went up to the helipad. Tanned both sides. After an hour, I couldn’t handle it anymore because it got too hot. Then, I ate some lunch and am now watching some reruns of Heart Signal 2, cheering on for the contestants.” 

He continued, “It got dark outside again. Soon enough, the stormy clouds are letting go of everything they held onto, making all sorts of strange noises. I thought, ‘Wow. I’m so glad I’m not on a training mission today.’ About an hour later, the rain stopped unexpectedly. Perhaps the clouds went too hard, too fast. Or maybe it’s gearing up for round two. Anyway, the clouds stayed, but the weather cleared. The sun began gleaming in the clouds. The shadows of the clouds deepened, and through those shadows, rays of sunshine began bursting out. It was a sight worth seeing, but I didn’t have a camera with me. I remember one November morning, when snow was falling over the fallen leaves in the empty field, making it a lonely scene. I also remember when I first went on a mission, and my sight was completely filled with mountains. I thought, ‘Wow, I can’t believe I’m seeing something like this in Korea.’ I remember, on the day of ambush training, the moon was so bright and the sky was full of stars. Everything was so clear that I could see every nook and cranny of the terrain, which scared me. I spent the night terrified. I remember when the weather got better and I could smell the change in seasons. I was dying from a tough training session, but then, I could smell sand from a sunny beach. I remember feeling sentimental all day.”

“What I’m trying to say is… I just want to share what I think is good, what I find as joy, what I’m looking at or feeling… I want to share these things with you. It’s hard to see your face, but I still want to share with you how I feel inside. What I’m willing. I don’t want to burden you… So, I guess what I can say is… I miss you. Anyway, it was a good weekend. I got to write some things. I thought about going back to work after discharge. Maybe I’ll travel to Japan or somewhere far like Northern Europe. With all the younger guys here, I even thought maybe I’ll go back to school. Would that mean we could school together? But when even is my discharge? Looking back, it has already been 8 months since I enlisted. But when I look ahead, I still have over a year left. Haha. So, that said… I hope you’ll continue… to do your best to take good care of me. Salute. From far, far away, Kim Private First Class,” he added. 

The actor also shared some photos wearing soldier's uniform. According to Kim Sae Ron’s aunt, she said Kim Soo Hyun was the first one to approach. She said the actor ‘hit on’ Sae Ron when she was 15 years old. The interview on YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute revealed a postcard among the letters and photos shared between them. As Kim Soo Hyun’s aunt told the actor allegedly written to Sae Ron when he was on a Paris trip. He wrote, “Saero-Nero (nickname), I had a drink in Paris. I bought this postcard from a souvenir shop and took hold of a pen. I promise to keep nagging you on. I love you, Saero-Nero. You make me so proud Saero-Nero, you’re so amazing… and I’m sorry forever. 2019.11.1. YouTuber Kim Paris.”
