Garosero Institute stated that Kim Sae-ron's family did not try to hide anything. They elaborated that the bereaved family had no idea about her marriage. They added:
"The bereaved family said they never hid it. The bereaved family said they never heard that Kim Sae-ron was married and had no idea about it. They also said they don't understand why the manager would say something like that to Lee Jin-ho about the abortion."
Garosero Institute revealed that Kim Sae-ron's family denied that a manager paid 20 million won for her hospital bills.
Through the YouTube channel, Garosero Institute revealed that the grieving family claimed that they never heard anything about a manager paying 20 million won hospital bills for the late actress. They added:
"I don't understand at all the fact that the manager paid 20 million won instead of Kim Sae-ron's hospital bill because no one paid it."
The operator also revealed that he had met her mother the previous day who seemed shattered. She questioned how her daughter was being defamed and brutalized in the manner that was taking place.
