Kim Sae-Ron’s Unpublished Statement
Hello, this is Kim Sae-Ron. First, I want to apologize to everyone and the industry staff who have been affected and confused by my careless actions.
While the media is reporting the rumors as false, I want to make it clear that this is not true. The photo I posted on my Instagram Stories was taken in 2016, and we were in a relationship from November 19, 2015, to July 7, 2021.
However, Gold Medalist is now claiming that they are unaware of my intentions behind sharing the photo, which does not align with their actions. I hope they will recognize their mistakes and apologize for the harm they caused me while I was still with the company.
As an actress whose image is seen by the public, I am posting this message because I believe the truth needs to be told.
