her ex-boyfriend, ex-best friend, and ex-husband, who weren’t even seen at her funeral, are now suddenly appearing…
Kim Sae Ron’s ex-husband said no such thing:
"Hello. This is the late Kim Sae Ron’s husband. I wondered if it was right for me to step up because I am still in pain, and unable to get out of my own feelings. I wondered if I would be causing damage to Sae Ron and her bereaved. Although I carefully considered it a few times, there have been so many distorted facts that are being spread, thanks to a couple of forces. I made the judgement that severe slander of the deceased was happening, and have written this statement in order to set the facts straight.
I was just living life as I did, an ordinary person, when I met Kim Sae Ron around mid-to-late November 2024, thanks to an introduction from an acquaintance. Thanks to having strong attraction to each other despite the short time, we got married legally in America, where I live, on January 12, 2025, with only witnesses present. Later, we decided to void the marriage upon agreement from both parties, due to the fact that we got married too quickly without serious consideration out of having fallen in love, as well as due to practical problems of a long-distance relationship, and differences in personalities.
It is completely not true that she was pregnant. Rumors of her pregnancy came around January 2025, but we first met in mid-to-late November 2024. That was when we first met, and we started getting serious around the end of November when she visited America. The timelines do not match up. Also, we were not thinking about children, so Kim Sae Ron was taking birth control pills. It is a severe form of humiliation of the late Kim Sae Ron to claim that she was threatened into marriage due to pregnancy, etc. Who gets married due to threats? We both loved each other, and Kim Sae Ron also passionately agreed to the marriage, showing that she wanted to proceed with it. I can provide evidence for this.
As such, it is completely far from the truth about how I made her stay in the marriage through violence. We were doing research in preparation to void the marriage mutually. Our relationship can be told from the last handwritten card Kim Sae Ron gave me. We both decided that it would be better to quietly void the marriage without letting people know that we had been wed for a short time overseas. But false information about our personal lives and marriage, and unconfirmed claims from her ex-boyfriend, were spread through recordings by YouTuber Lee Jin Ho, Director Kwak Tae Young, and her previous manager."
Seriously? It's been over two weeks already and still he can't even apologise for his actions? Disgusting xy chromosome…
Each day that passes, KSH is only confirming what we already know—that he is a narcissist.
Humans evolved (or were given) the ability to feel guilt & shame as a prompt to evolve better behaviors & to develop a capacity to feel deep empathy for others. But narcissists are—by nature—regressive when confronted with this. They will do whatever it takes to avoid confronting these emotions, even proclaiming to the world that they believe themselves to be above reproach, and certainly not emotionally stunted or immature in their thinking in any way.
I suspect KSH is ruled by desperate compulsions to avoid admitting guilt any display of contriteness will only seem sincere. KSH will give his all to perform his role as if life-or-death is on the line.
For over a decade, I've worked for a boss who is a classic example of this.-It's everyone's fault except his.-When…
You survived! I'm glad you are thriving now.
I've also been in a similar situation (but not one lasting two decades!)
I advise anyone who may be going through a work environment which is even remotely similar to this to keep a very private journal and record every incident, in detail. If you ever are confronted with an unfair action against you this journal will be invaluable in your labor dispute. And without it, you will likely feel powerless and unable to do anything except comply.
Firstly, the key board warriors are the ones that bullied her for posting that picture with Kim Soo Hyun and the…
Children cannot legally sign contracts—including marriage contracts—because their brains are not fully developed especially their abilities to reason & control their impulses. Groomers take advantage of this. Please stop advocating grooming.
Just checked G-Dragon's Instagram follower count: It's 24 Million.vs 20,2 million KSH Followers.....Have fun being…
I'm not sure whether G-Dragon deserves much credit. After failing to distance himself when the news broke that KSH had attended one of his listening parties during KSR's funeral, he briefly liked, then unliked a post mentioning that KSH would be removed from the production of G-Dragon's variety show, Good Day.
After KSH crashed the filming of the next episode despite having been asked to stay away, MBC (with or without G-Dragon's participation) took a stronger stance regarding the embattled actor's participation on Good Morning. Last week's episode was canceled or delayed, and KSH has been scrubbed entirely from the new trailer.
I saw "Weak Hero" appear on Netflix yesterday, but the difference in title made me doubt whether it is the series from my "Plan to Watch list", so I came here to confirm — it is!
I have submitted "Weak Hero" as an additional title, above.
It's been over two weeks since KSH has been surrounded by obedient subordinates, fawning sycophants, sympathetic reporters, & complimenting industry personnel. He must be missing the life to which he had become accustomed. The absence of constant praise is filled with silence & the thoughts in his own head.
Why would we pity him while he is adapting? He should be getting used to it.
A reply (as you were typing this) to the post just below yours claims the "ex-husband said that he only met KSR…
It is important that people like you continue to make this point. You are of course correct.
Meanwhile, I'm still gonna indulge in some harsh satire against KSH, if only because he should have known better than to have made some of the choices which brought him to this moment. But mostly because of Kim Sae Ron. RIP 😢
She won't suffer, she got paid, she may be best to distance herself from this drama asap. It's a write-off
Sure. All that is true and not right, also unfair! But Lee Jung Jae's performance was broadcast, which is a requirement for nomination. This series will not qualify, and no actor awards.
They ended it on a cliffhanger this week! AAHH Every time there is a heartwarming moment, Takahashi takes it…
And that recurring buildup of Takahashi ruining every heartfelt moment with an additional disclosure all leads to a huge payoff in episode 8, following his revelation of his motivation to save Ki! 🤣

Something something …exclusive tax break for billionaires, but he still needs to lose another billion to qualify… Something something.
