Amid Kim Soo Hyun controversy, Kim Sae Ron's family slammed for claiming jeonse money one day after funeral: 'If they truly cared…'
Fans are expressing outrage and frustration toward actress Kim Sae Ron's family after reports revealed that her father requested her housing deposit back just one day after her funeral. The situation has sparked significant backlash online, especially amid recent controversy surrounding actor Kim Soo Hyun, who was rumoured to be close to Sae Ron.
Kim Sae Ron's father requested her jeonse deposit just one day after her funeral
According to a May 2 report by Money Today, Kim Sae Ron's father contacted her landlord on February 18—the day after her funeral—seeking to reclaim a 50 million KRW (approx. $36,000 USD) jeonse (lump-sum lease) deposit. However, the deposit did not legally belong to Kim. It had been paid by a private education company executive, referred to as Mr. A, who financially supported the actress during a difficult period following her 2022 DUI incident and withdrawal from the public eye.
Mr. A reportedly covered the housing deposits for two separate residences in Nonhyeon-dong and Seongsu-dong. Another acquaintance, a singer referred to as Singer B, also contributed financially to one of the homes. Both individuals are said to have refused direct loans to Kim, opting instead to put the deposits in their own names to avoid burdening her with repayment pressure.
Once the landlord explained that the deposit was not Kim's to begin with, her father withdrew his request. Still, fans online are not holding back.
Fans bash Kim Sae Ron's family
Taking to X, many fans slammed Kim Sae Ron's family for not being there for her during her difficult moments and having the heart to claim money back just one day after her funeral.
One user wrote, "As soon as she was buried, they rushed to claim whatever money they could, only to be shocked there was none. This family had no idea, nor did they seem to care, about what she went through in her life. She died broke. It's truly heartbreaking."

Another user added, "If they truly cared they should have gotten an autopsy. Next should call all the person involved, husband, friends, closed nit not the ex BF 4-5 years ago… Family should've filed for complaint for KSH in court, not in social media. Family should've had interviewed with reputable."

A third mentioned, "And they claimed twice. Who was the first one to claim it after her death? Is it Mum Dearest? Because this is Dad Dearest after the funeral; we are waiting for the first person who wanted to claim it."

About the Kim Soo Hyun controversy
The controversy surrounding Kim Soo Hyun emerged from rumours that he had been romantically involved with Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor. Speculation started after Kim Sae Ron posted and later deleted a photo of the two together in 2023.
The situation intensified when, a month after Kim Sae Ron's death, her aunt publicly accused Kim Soo Hyun of dating her when she was just 15 and he was 27, claiming Garosero Research Institute.
Kim Soo Hyun's agency initially denied any romantic involvement, but after intimate photos of the two went viral, they acknowledged a relationship, clarifying that it only began once Kim Sae Ron was of legal age.
The controversy has since escalated into a legal battle, with Kim Soo Hyun suing Kim Sae Ron's family and Garosero Research Institute for defamation.

Ex-THE BOYZ's Ju Haknyeon sues journalist for false claims over meeting Japanese AV actress Kirara Asuka
Trigger Warning: This article contains mention of prostitution and adult content. THE BOYZ member Ju Haknyeon is currently facing harsh consequences for meeting a former p*rnstar at a club in Japan. His agency, ONE HUNDRED, unilaterally terminated his contract and removed him from the group. Adding on to his distress, a report by K-media TenAsia alleged that he engaged in pr*stitution with the AV actress Kirara Asuka. The artist reverted by suing the article writer on June 20, as reported by Allkpop. Ju Haknyeon files defamation suit against journalist Ju Haknyeon previously probed legal action against label ONE HUNDRED for arbitrarily removing him from THE BOYZ without his consent. Following that, he filed a defamation complaint against TenAsia journalist Choi Ji Ye under South Korea's Information and Communications Network Act. The lawsuit was filed on the charges of spreading misinformation regarding his meeting with Kirara Asuka, which caused great harm to his public image. According to the report, Ju Haknyeon initially denied allegations of misconduct but later admitted to them when presented with evidence by his agency. Consequently, ONE HUNDRED terminated Ju Haknyeon's exclusive contract, citing investigation findings leading to a breach of trust. How did speculations of Ju Haknyeon and Kirara Asuka's alleged pr*stitution start? The issue stemmed from Japanese outlet Shukan Bunshun obtaining photos showing Ju Haknyeon and Kirara Asuka in close proximity, displaying skinship, including hugging and the model resting her chin on his shoulder. It was during their meeting along with some acquaintances in a private bar in Tokyo's Roppongi district on May 29. Though Ju Haknyeon admitted to the meet-up, he denied engaging in any unlawful acts with her. Besides him, Kirara Asuka also refuted the "misinformation" spread against them through a post on X (formerly Twitter). In case, they are actually proven to have engaged in paid physical intimacy, they can end up facing legal consequences. As per the South Korean law, a penalty of 3 million KRW and up to one year prison sentence can be levied on both its citizens as well as on individuals of other nationalities involved with a Korean citizen.
