On the afternoon of March 27, 2025, BU JI SeokThe legal representative of the family in mourning, held a press conference in Seocho-Gu, Soul, where he revealed the text messages exchanged between the deceased and Kim Soo Hyun in June 2016. He continued to say that the two were in a romantic relationship when the deceased actress was still a minor.
The revealed messages included Kim Sae Ron who sent a cardiac heemji and onomatopoia for the kiss to Kim Soo Hyun, to whom he replied, “Do it really later.“
KSR: “I’m going back to the shooting. I’ll come back soon.”
KSH: “Back soon, hehe. [heart emoticon]. “
KSR: “[heart emoticon] *Bacio sound*”
KSH: “Do I do it for the truth later hehe. Ah, isn’t this too allowed?”
KSR: “No, it’s not. I’ll do it.”
KSR: “Do you miss you or not?”
KSH: “What do you think – I miss you or not?”
KSR: “As I know! If I don’t tell myself, I don’t know.”
KSH: “Cute on your part asking him.”
KSR: “So do I miss you or not?”
In another message, he wrote that he wanted to embrace her to sleep.
KSR: “You never wake up.”
KSH: “Yes, I don’t know, even if you kissed me.”
KSR: “So you wouldn’t even notice it if you did it a few times. Yay.”
KSH: “When can I keep you and fall asleep? I think I would be able to sleep really well then.”
KSR: “Yes, I’ll let you do it.”
Since Kim Soo Hyun previously said that the relationship had started only when he became legal, Bu asked, “If this was not a romantic relationship, then what kind of relationship was it? I want to ask Kim Soo-Hyun directly. “ He stressed that Kim Sae Ron was 17 at the time.
Kim Sae Ron was found dead in his home in Seongong-Gu, Seoul, on the 16th of last month. After his disappearance, the Mourning Family claimed through the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute that Kim Sae Ron had had a relationship with Kim Soo Hyun for six years, starting from 2015 when he was 15 years old. However, Kim Soo Hyun’s team refuted this, stating that they came out only from the summer of 2019 to the autumn of 2020, after becoming an adult.
