Kim Sae Ron praised Kim Soo Hyun to her aunt and commended her former co-star for being very kind-hearted. She promised Kim Soo Hyun and Gold Medalist that she would work hard to make up for everything. Until eventually, the late Kim Sae Ron left Gold Medalist after her contract expired.

Unfortunately, in 2024, Kim Sae Ron received a bill of 700 million won (about Rp 7.8 billion). Kim Sae Ron admitted that she and her family did not have that much money and tried to contact Kim Soo Hyun and Gold Medalist, but were never responded to. Kim Sae Ron even tried to contact Kim Soo Hyun's cousin, but also received no response.

Eventually, Kim Sae Ron decided to upload an old photo of herself with Kim Soo Hyun on social media, which then became major news because the actor was currently in the spotlight thanks to the drama Queen of Tears. The photo was taken when Kim Sae Ron was 16 years old.

It turned out that Kim Sae Ron's intention in uploading the photo was for Kim Soo Hyun to contact her. However, Kim Soo Hyun's side only issued a denial that seemed to imply it was just 'strange' behavior from Kim Sae Ron, which led the actress to be bullied by fans of the actor and the drama Queen of Tears.

6. Response from Gold Medalist

Moments after Garosero revealed this, Gold Medalist quickly responded. They denied all allegations from Garosero, including the past relationship between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron.

Gold Medalist even stated that they would file a lawsuit against Garosero for maliciously providing false information about their artist. They also requested that Garosero not exploit Kim Sae Ron's death. After Gold Medalist expressed their intention to file a lawsuit, Garosero claimed to have obtained all information about Kim Sae Ron from the deceased's family (the aunt).
