During a live broadcast on the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute on March 12, the aunt of the deceased actress Kim Sae-Sign was again displayed via a phone call with the host. This time, he was unable to contain his emotions and spoke with considerable frustration, especially when he mentioned Kim Soo Hyun. She came until she accused him directly of being the one who ruined his nephew’s career.
Kim Sae-So-Se-See also said that her nephew had many growth opportunities, but she refused them because of her boyfriend. He added, “Many companies wanted to recruit her, but I feel repentant because her career was held by her boyfriend.”
After listening to this information, the Netizen who examine the career trajectory of Kim Sae-Smes underlined a clear contrast in the projects he undertaken before and after signing with the gold medal.
An online viral post analyzed Kim Sae-Sne’s career, highlighting a clear decline after joining the gold medal. While he constantly built his reputation with independent films in the field of YG Entertainment, his career has slowed significantly after 2018. The turn was also evident in his theatrical roles: he went from the main network productions to mainly web kakootv dramas. The post observed that after “Snowy Road” (2015), it had very few roles for significant children, with “Nobody Knows” (2020) which was a rare exception. He hypothesized that his first transition towards mature roles, probably influenced by his relationship with Kim Soo-Hyun, made them more difficult to guarantee projects.
Netizens was reflected on the career in Kim Sae-So-See-See, asking why such a talented actress, who even participated in Cannes twice, had struggled to secure important roles.
Many believed that the gold medal managed it badly, observing that while other young actors, like Choi Hyun-Wook, had received strong opportunities, Kim Sae-Sore was limited to web dramas. Some hypothesized that his relationship with Kim Soo-Hyun played a role in derailing his career, expressing frustration for having missed the possibility of growing in one of the best actresses. Others complained about how it passed too early from the roles for children, calling it a tragic waste of talent.
As the discussions continue, many remain divided on the fact that the blocked career of Kim Sa-Se-Sign was due to personal choices, bad management of agencies or external influences, leaving persistent questions about what it could have been.
