Broadcaster Choo Sung Hoon denies reports that he paid all of the funeral expenses for the late Kim Sae Ron.

Recently, news that Choo Sung Hoon voluntarily paid all of the funeral expenses for the late Kim Sae Ron has been spreading through YouTube and online communities. As some media outlets reported this, the funeral expense support was being accepted as fact.

However, Choo Sung Hoon‘s agency, Bonbu ENT, drew the line on Donga.com on the 26th, calling it “fake news.”

They continued, “I had no personal relationship with the deceased. We only appeared together on a past entertainment program (Channel A’s ”The Fishermen in the City“),” adding, “I didn‘t even go to the funeral.”

Kim Sae Ron was found dead at her home in Seongdong-gu, Seoul in February.
