Certified document
In March 2024, the gold medal sent a certified document to Kim Sae-S, asking for the reimbursement of the compensation that the agency had paid on its behalf.
“You borrowed ₩ 686,409,653 by our customer on November 22, 2022, with a reimbursement deadline of 31 December 2023. However, you did not make the payment despite the expiry passage.”
The gold medal warned of civil and criminal legal actions if the entire amount (₩ 700 million) has not been promptly refunded.
SOS
At the time, Kim Sae-Sign was struggling financially.
“He was the head of his family. The payment of the compensation caused serious financial difficulties. “(Lawyer by Kim Sae-Sore, first trial)
He was the first artist under the gold medal, but his renewal of the contract was not successful. He probably took on that the debt was implicitly resolved.
Faced with legal threats, Kim Sae-Sign turned to his former lover, Kim Soo-Hyun, to ask for help.
Ignored
Dispatch got a message from March 24, 2024, sent by Kim Sa-Se to Kim Soo-Hyun.
“OPPA, I’m Sae-Ron. I received the certified document. They are causing me. I can’t find ₩ 700 million immediately. Do you really have to go to court? Please help me. Give me some time. “
Kim Soo-Hyun did not answer. In desperation, Kim Sae-Sore has publicly published a photo of them who passed together: an indirect reason for contact.
No statement
When the shipment contacted a comment, Kim Sae-Sign clarified:
“I never said I would issue a statement. It seems that my words have been interpreted badly. “
He didn’t want the problem to intensify. The agency later said she decided not to collect the debt, considering its situation.
Contradiction
But the agency’s explanation was inconsistent. The financial state of Kim Sae-Sign had not changed, but suddenly the refund was no longer necessary.
The missing connection? Kim Soo-Hyun.
Tragic end
On February 16, 2025-the birthday of Kim Soo-Hyun, Kim Sae-Sore, died.
Subsequently, the shipment contacted the gold medal to clarify the details that surround the financial burden it had to face.
Gold medal: the production team behind “Bloodhounds” requested 700 million krw damage due to its DUI accident. Our company has covered the payment on its behalf.
Dispatch: Why, therefore, have you issued a formal reimbursement notice?
Gold medal: we would never have expected to receive a refund from Kim Sae Ron. We thought it wouldn’t have been possible. The notice was simply a procedural step to prevent any potential legal issues, such as the accusations of bad corporate conduct.
Dispatch: did you informed it that the warning was only a formality?
Gold medal: from our understanding, his manager explained the situation at that moment. The documentation was necessary for the company’s registers.
Dispatch: However, Kim Sae Ron appeared extremely anguished after receiving it.
Gold medal: he was aware of having covered the costs. We understood that it would not have been able to reimburse such a great quantity. We told her that it could have resolved the debt if and when he had earned enough income.
However, Dispatch found discrepancies between the statements of the gold medal and the apparent response of Kim Sae Ron. On the basis of his actions, it seems that he tried immense pressure from the notice, suggesting that he may not have been reassured that he was simply procedural.
Dispatch: How much part of the compensation has personally covered Kim Sae Ron?
Gold medal: his car from the accident was sold as a vehicle used rather than repaired, taking about 35 million krw. In addition, we have not received additional payments from her.
The villa
The neighbors recalled Kim Sae-Sore who often cried in the trumpet of the stairs of his apartment.
“It seemed that he was going through a lot. Once I comforted it when she cried. “
They also noticed scars on his wrists.
False statements?
The gold medal denied any romantic connection between Kim Soo-Hyun and Kim Sae-Sign. However, multiple sources have confirmed their past relationship.
Kim Sae-Sign has been labeled as “made by himself” in his voices of appointments.
“This time, a marriage made by itself?“(January 8, 2025)
While it is not clear what exactly led to his disappearance, media control, public judgment and financial struggles have all played a role.
In the end, did the gold medal really do their best to protect it?
