What does the new video by Lee Jin-ho mention about Kim Sae-ron's love life?

According to the new video posted on YouTube, Kim Sae-ron's parents had allegedly opened a restaurant in 2021, but it was shut down in 2023. After losing a lot of money in the business, Sae-ron reportedly took on the financial responsibility of the family, enlisting in a part-time job to support them.

While at her part-time job, the actress was reportedly stalked by two men. One of them was allegedly diagnosed with schizophrenia and was hospitalized, according to Kim Sae-ron's alleged statement in the audio.

The stalking incident reportedly left her traumatised and emotionally unstable, while her then-boyfriend allegedly suspected her of having an affair with one of the stalkers. In the call recording, the late actress allegedly accused her mother of planting doubt in her boyfriend's mind.

In another allegation made on March 25, Kim Sae-ron's reported ex-boyfriend also came forward with updates on the late actress's love life. He claimed that the Queen of Tears actor, Kim Soo-hyun, had no part to play in Sae-ron's untimely death.

According to the boyfriend, who remains unnamed and goes by the moniker K, Sae-ron was allegedly troubled because of her reported marriage to a man from New York. The marriage allegedly became toxic as her husband reportedly began verbally abusing her, causing her immense mental distress. She was reportedly struggling a lot due to a lack of support from her family.

Following this, she reportedly turned to her former boyfriend K for support, as reported by The Fact on March 25. Screenshots of the text messages claiming to be exchanged between K and Sae-ron were also shared to support K's claims.
