YouTuber Releases New Video On Kim Sae Ron; Claims About Late Actress Failed Last Hope Before Death Go Viral

Amid the additional lawsuit charge, another YouTuber, Lee Jin Ho, dropped a new video on late Kim Sae Ron. According to Sportskeeda, the YouTuber talked about Sae-ron's alleged 'last hope' and her troubled thoughts that she had before taking her own life. As claimed by Lee Jin-ho, the late actress wanted to open a cafe but her last dream was also crushed after she failed to "receive a follow-up investment."

Lee also dropped a phone recording between Kim Sae Ron and one of her acquaintances, in which she was apparently heard sobbing and saying, "My boyfriend suddenly showed me the fortunes that Shamans shared about me on YouTube and told me that I was bad, that I should be dead already, and that time had stopped. (sic)".

In the recording, she also described herself as "a flower that had wilted and cannot bloom again because she is a selfish and bad person. (sic)"

Talking about Kim Sae-ron's failed 'last hope', Lee Jin Ho claimed, "She had been preparing to open a cafe in Mapo with an old acquaintance since the end of last year. She met with people about her cafe opening just two days before she passed away.

However, even this fell through because she failed to receive a follow-up investment. Her last remaining hope faded. She truly lived a lonely life. She devoted herself to the entertainment industry as the head of the household, but had almost no money left. (sic)"

The cafe's opening, her last hope, even fell through. It seems there was no more hope for her. It was an extremely unfortunate tragedy."
