Lee Jin-ho, Finding Flaws in the Late Kim Sae-ron… Raising Rumors of Marriage in the US [Comprehensive]

YouTuber Lee Jin-ho has claimed that the late Kim Sae-ron was married to an ordinary man living in the US while she was alive. This is a completely separate claim from the suspicions surrounding Kim Soo-hyun, who the late Kim Sae-ron dated when she was a minor.

On the 19th, Lee released a video titled ‘Shocking Exclusive! The Truth Hidden by Kim Sae-ron‘s Bereaved Family’ on his YouTube channel. He claimed that the wedding pictorial that the late Kim Sae-ron, who passed away last month, posted on her personal SNS early this year was not a concept pictorial but an actual wedding pictorial.

Lee said, “The bereaved family’s concerns about me... Who can be confident in front of the deceased? “I feel sorry for the deceased, even if it‘s morally right,” he said, adding, “I have sufficient evidence to support my reporting, and I have said this several times before. Can you understand the feelings of parents who have lost their children? Please stop fighting in the mud.” He then released a recording of a conversation between person A, who claims to be from Kim Sae-ron’s agency, and person B, who is the late Kim Sae-ron, recorded on January 8 of this year.

When person A in the recording pressed for an exact account of the situation, person B said, “I didn‘t post that. My boyfriend posted it. I didn’t want to marry my boyfriend, but we tried to break up amicably, and then we had a child, and I deleted it. That‘s why I got married. (My boyfriend) threatened me, not threatened me. He’s an ordinary person who works at a large company in New York. We met through an acquaintance. I‘m usually fine, but sometimes when I’m anxious or something, when I drink, it‘s like that.” Person B explained, saying that her boyfriend manages various social media accounts, “I don’t understand why you keep hiding the fact that I‘m married, so we fought and uploaded it. I told you to delete it, so I deleted it.”

Person Lee said, “The bereaved family is raising major issues with her boyfriend from 4 years ago, Kim Soo Hyun. However, Kim Sae Ron herself was married to another man and was living a newlywed life. The bereaved family is continuing to make public the data from the deceased’s cell phone by sending it to ‘Gaseyeon’. This also means that they know about Kim Sae Ron‘s marriage.” “The bereaved family claims that Kim Sae Ron tried to make an extreme choice after seeing the video I uploaded on January 8. However, after verifying the facts, Kim Sae Ron was not with her family or acquaintances at the time. She was with her husband in the United States.” Meanwhile, he also mentioned that Kim Sae-ron’s hospital bills were over 20 million won.

Meanwhile, Kim Soo-hyun is suspected of dating the late Kim Sae-ron since she was a minor. On the 10th, the bereaved family claimed through ‘Ga Se-yeon’ that they dated from November 19, 2015, when the late Kim Sae-ron was a minor, 15 years old, to July 7, 2021. Kim Soo-hyun‘s side denied the relationship itself, but on the 13th, they admitted that they dated the late Kim Sae-ron from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020, after she became an adult, but emphasized, “It is not true that I dated Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor.”
