Over the past 24 hours, the Asian public has been in an uproar over the livestream exposing Kim Soo Hyun by the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute (a group of lawyers and former reporters specializing in reporting on “hidden palace secrets” of showbiz). On the morning of March 12, Top Star News reported that the Korean online community was abuzz with suspicions that Won Bin had paid off a debt of 700 million won (12.3 billion VND) to Kim Sae Ron after the actress passed away. It is known that the late actress did not have the ability to pay this debt to her former company Gold Medalist while she was alive.

The rumor that Won Bin paid off Kim Sae Ron’s debt originated from a netizen’s comment right under the Garo Sero Institute’s livestream video exposing Kim Soo Hyun: “I saw a video saying that Kim Sae Ron’s aunt would release a 3-minute recording. I also heard that Won Bin tried to pay off Kim Sae Ron’s debt after learning that the actress had to suffer because of a debt of 700 million won (12.3 billion VND). Won Bin is truly amazing. I’m about to cry. Meanwhile, Kim Soo Hyun – who has assets worth hundreds of billions of won (thousands of billions of VND) – used a lawsuit to threaten and force Kim Sae Ron to pay the debt, even kicking the actress out of the shared house (management company)”.

Won Bin is said to have paid off the debt of 12.3 billion VND to Kim Sae Ron.

In addition, Top Star News also dug up Kim Sae Ron’s post after collaborating with Won Bin in the movie The Man from Nowhere in 2010: “Uncle Won Bin chose a mini laptop for me on my birthday. Thank you very much. I will strive to become a good person like you.” Under the post, a netizen criticized Kim Sae Ron: “Don’t show off just because you have a laptop like that .” And the former child star calmly responded: “I’m not showing off at all. I just want to express that Uncle Won Bin is a kind person, who has taken care of and cared for me, even though I’m just an unknown girl. I will not delete this post.”

Kim Sae Ron collaborated with Won Bin in a movie 15 years ago

On social media forums, many viewers praised Won Bin’s good character after the post saying that the actor helped Kim Sae Ron went viral. Meanwhile, many netizens doubted the authenticity of the information that Won Bin paid off Kim Sae Ron’s debt.

Previously, a character claiming to be Kim Sae Ron’s aunt revealed that the actress dated Kim Soo Hyun through the Garo Sero Institute YouTube channel. The actress’s aunt said that the intimate photo of Kim Sae Ron – Kim Soo Hyun was taken in 2016. The love relationship of the two artists started on November 19, 2015 and ended on July 7, 2021.

Kim Soo Hyun – Kim Sae Ron are suspected of dating for about 6 years, since the actress was 15 years old.

In 2022, Kim Sae Ron caused a drunk driving scandal and had to pay compensation for film and advertising contracts. Kim Soo Hyun lent Kim Sae Ron 700 million won (12.3 billion VND) to settle the compensation and did not ask for immediate repayment.

But in 2024, the actress received a debt certificate of 700 million won (12.3 billion VND). Kim Sae Ron sent a message asking for help from Kim Soo Hyun on March 19, 2024. However, the actor did not respond to her message. The actress tried calling her cousin’s phone but was unable to get through. Then, a reporter’s number called, making her suspect that Kim Soo Hyun had given her number to the reporter. Out of options, Kim Sae Ron posted an intimate photo so that Kim Sae Ron would call back on March 24, 2024. However, Kim Soo Hyun’s side immediately denied the dating rumors with the late actress.

Kim Sae Ron decided to post a photo of her cheek to cheek with Kim Soo Hyun after the actor cut off contact with her.
