According to Star Today, on the 15th, Lawyer Min Gi-ho of Daeryuk Ajou Law Firm and Kim Saeron's legal representative said, "(Kim Saeron) is heavily in debt due to the amount of penalty she had to pay for her DUI case. Her income has been spent on her parents' business and her family's living expenses. She is suffering a lot, financially. It is true that she is currently working part-time."
Criticism towards Kim Saeron grew even bigger after the public learned that she appointed lawyers from one of the Nation's Top 10 Law Firms, despite claiming to be in a difficult situation financially. Each of the two law firms she hired appointed two lawyers, one of those two law firms is one of the Nation's Top 10 Law Firms with the biggest income last year.
Not only that, Kim Saeron also received a backlash after posting fake photos of herself working part-time at a cafe as proof that she's suffering from financial difficulty. The representative of the cafe shown in her pictures claimed, "Kim Saeron has never worked in any of our branches." Kim Saeron was assumed to have fabricated pictures to raise sympathy from the public.
Min Gi-ho said, "I knew that she is working part-time. I didn't expect her to be working part-time at different places at once. I didn't see anything out of normal (When she posted pictures of her working part-time at a cafe). I contacted her to ask more about her part-time job, however she couldn't be reached and I can't confirm the exact truth."
Min Gi-ho continued, "I have nothing to say about the current controversy. All I know is as the head of the family, she is currently working part-time to earn money." Min Gi-ho also stressed again that Kim Saeron is really having financial difficulty.
-Her lawyer is so f*cking bad at doing his job...
-So what...? Does working part-time jobs mean you're suffering from financial difficulty??
-I think it's better for her to stay low for a few years and make her comeback later. Sure, she would still get some hate for what she did. But that doesn't mean it's impossible for her to comeback to the industry. That strategy is so much better than this;;
-Seems like she didn't discuss this matter with her lawyer beforehand...?? Her lawyer must be confused as hellㅋㅋㅋ Why is she not picking up her phone;; That lawyer will defend her anyway...
-Such an attention seeker...
-She put herself in that situation, what do you expect us to do? Do we have to sympathize? That's how people live...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is so stupid
-It's better for her to stay low for the meantime and sneakily make her comeback 2 to 3 years later. All she needs to do is accept all the hate, just like how all celebrities do after they cause controversy. It's not that her lawyer is bad at doing his job, it's that she's making things even worse for her.
-She's still in her early 20s, right? A lot of people work part-time jobs at that age, it's not a big deal.
-Saeron-ah, that's how people live....
-She's stressing the whole nation...
-She is pissing me off now...
