I'm writing this after listening to the whole thing... Claims from Kim Saeron's aunt's side
Kim Saeron and Kim Soohyun were in a relationship for 6 years. When Kim Soohyun started his agency, Gold Medalist, many agencies wanted to sign Kim Saeron, but she chose to join his company. She helped with directing and coached rookie actors without getting paid. She worked hard as if it were her own company.
When Kim Saeron had a drunk driving accident and got sued for damages, Kim Soohyun lent her 700 million KRW. He didn't tell her when to repay it. While riding in a car with her aunt, Kim Saeron told her aunt that she had used the money from 'Soohyun Oppa' to settle the compensation and although he never told her to repay it, she planned to work and pay him back.
Sometime after the incident was settled, the company sent Kim Saeron a legal notice regarding the repayment of the 700 Million KRW. Since Kim Saeron had already used up all her money on penalty fees, she had no money left. She broke down crying when she received the legal notice.
The aunt suspects that it wasn’t Kim Soohyun himself but rather his cousin, Lee Robae (Kim Soohyun's cousin? Relative?). So she tried to call Kim Soohyun to confirm, but he didn't answer. She even called him through her cousin's phone, but he still didn't answer. Later, journalists contacted that cousin's phone, asking if it belonged to Kim Saeron.
Kim Saeron posted that picture because she thought he would contact her if she did since she had no other way to contact him.
Apart from that, every time YouTuber Lee Jinho mentioned Kim Saeron in his videos, articles would come out. Every time that happened, Kim Saeron was so distressed that she resorted to self-harm. Her family was on 24-hour standby, and her cousin took care of her by her side.
A few days before she passed, she stayed at her aunt’s house. Despite her own struggles, she encouraged her aunt, saying "Aunt, why are you so thin? Stay strong." Even though she was mentally broken herself, she still cooked fried rice for her aunt. Her aunt broke down in tears when telling this story, saying "That was the last meal she ever made for me… She was such a kind girl. She encouraged me even though she herself was having a hard time"ㅜㅜ
-Can this really be called suicide?
-Oh God... I feel sick reading this...
-This is truly terrible.
-Ah, this is so sad…ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Sigh.. This is so heart-breaking.
-So the legal notice wasn't sent by Kim Saeron's agency, but by Kim Soohyun's side?
-If that’s true, the reason she posted that photo on Instagram is so heartbreaking…
-It was too shocking, I couldn't believe it... But now after hearing her aunt's story...
-Oh my god, what is this…
-He could’ve at least answered her calls…
-Just reading this is too painful...
-She practically died because of that legal notice...
-Ignoring her calls on purpose and then leaking her cousin’s number to journalists is pure evil and disgusting.
-Oh my goodness... If this is true, it's really tragic.
-Oh my goodness... He looks like a completely different person to me now.
