Mikyo expresses anger at the death of the late Kim Sae Ron, “Only when someone dies will the haters stop” [DA★]

Singer Mikyo expressed her sorrow at the sad news of the late Kim Sae Ron.

On the 16th, Mikyo pointed out on her Instagram story, “Only when someone dies will the haters stop. I thought, ”Oh no. But they don‘t even know that they are leaving malicious comments?“

She was angry and said, ”The media and broadcasting are the same. They search for issues, write sensational articles to cause ‘aggro, and create everything, but when a person dies, they act as if nothing happened and pretend that they have nothing to do with it. It’s disgusting.“

She continued, ”Killing a person isn‘t a big deal. It’s only the dead that are pitiful. I pray for the repose of the deceased‘s soul.“

Mikyo did not directly mention the late Kim Sae-ron’s name in the post. However, it seems that she left her feelings of despair regarding the fact that the deceased suffered from malicious commenters every time she tried to make a comeback after halting activities due to drunk driving while alive.

Meanwhile, Kim Sae-ron was found dead at her home in Seongdong-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 16th. She was 25 years old. The first person to report the incident was reported to be a friend. As of now, no signs of a crime, such as external intrusions, have been found, and the police are investigating the circumstances of her death based on statements from the first reporter and others.

Previously, Kim Sae-ron was sent to trial on charges of crashing into a tree, a transformer, and other road facilities while driving drunk near the Hakdong Intersection in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the morning of May 18, 2022, and was sentenced to a fine of 20 million won.

At the time of the accident, Kim Sae-ron refused the police‘s breathalyzer test and requested a blood test. His blood alcohol level was confirmed to be about 0.2%, which is the level for license revocation. Kim Sae-ron’s accident caused massive damage, including a power outage of about 4 hours in the Sinsa-dong area, leading to even stronger criticism. It is known that the deceased visited the damaged stores at the time and apologized and paid compensation.

As a result, Kim Sae-ron dropped out of the works she was scheduled to appear in one after another and also parted ways with her agency without renewing her contract. Even after being effectively kicked out of the entertainment industry, he attempted to return several times, but the public‘s response was cold.
