A friend of the late actress Kim Sae Ron has come forward to dispute statements made by her self-proclaimed ex-boyfriend after he exposed his so-called "truth" on the matter between the actress and her relationship with Kim Soo Hyun.

The person, establishing himself as "Friend A," said during an interview on the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute with Kim Se Ui that the allegations were false and had caused pain to Kim's family, who were mourning.

"I chose to speak out because the pain that the bereaved is suffering as a result of what Ex-Boyfriend K said is too much," Friend A said.

"As one of Sae Ron's closest friends. I pretty much moved in with her last year at her house. I also saw her mom often. So I'm confirming that it's not the case that Sae Ron was estranged."

Friend A also mentioned a leaked voice recording in which Ex-Boyfriend K purportedly blamed the death of Kim Sae Ron on an abusive relationship.

She shared that she was introduced to Ex-Boyfriend K a couple of times and expressed her suspicion about his claims.

"I mean, I don't think he's a bad guy, as far as I can tell. He's a quiet, introverted guy," she said.

"But seeing the way that he turned, and the way that he wrote the statement and everything — it wouldn't be strange for either Kim Soo Hyun or Kwak Tae Yong to threaten him and get something out of him."

It was said by Kim Se Ui, who did the interview, that Kim Sae Ron's friends also confirmed that she and K were only in a very short relationship, lasting no longer than 2 weeks.

The interviewer further implied that Ex-Boyfriend K, identified as Chan Hee, may be doing this for ulterior motives to get into the entertainment industry.

According to reports, he was a contestant on MBC's idol audition program Fan Pick.

Shocking allegations about Kim Soo Hyun and a series of leaked messages about sharing their personal life with Kim Sae Ron are at the center of the controversy.

The controversy surrounding Kim Sae Ron's personal life intensified following a series of leaked messages and allegations involving Kim Soo Hyun. Previous reports suggested the actor had cheated on Kim Sae Ron multiple times during their relationship, which allegedly began when she was a minor.

With rumors running wild, the debate continues to divide fans and industry insiders alike over the long-running feud. Those close to Kim Sae Ron have requested that they be given privacy to mourn her passing.
