Seoul, South Korea – Shocking audio recordings, purportedly from the day of actress Kim Sae Ron’s death, have surfaced, with her close friend alleging that the tragedy stemmed from domestic abuse.

The audio reveals a series of distressing allegations. In the initial conversation, which began at 9:39 PM KST, “B” discloses that Kim Sae Ron had recently been seen and appeared well. However, the conversation quickly shifts to a darker topic: a man Kim Sae Ron met in the United States.
“Perhaps it was because of the man she met in the USA,” “B” states, alleging that the man physically assaulted Kim Sae Ron. “He would hit her and create a huge fuss. It was physical assault. I have the pictures of his assault,” “B” claims, leaving “A” visibly shocked.
The audio further details instances of alleged harassment and threats. “He even contacted her suddenly yesterday,” “B” recounts, adding that the man had professed his exclusive affection for Kim Sae Ron.
A subsequent conversation, recorded at 10:14 PM KST, sheds more light on the alleged abuse. “He assaulted her and threatened her,” “B” reveals, stating that Kim Sae Ron had shown her a photo of a cut on her neck. “She showed me a picture of a cut on her neck and said it was real.”
“B” also alleges that the man had contacted her, hurling insults, and that Kim Sae Ron had apologized for the situation. Notably, “B” emphasizes that while these claims are not official statements, Kim Sae Ron’s friends firmly believe her death was a result of the man’s actions. “But her friends all believe she died because of him. He kept making personal attacks on her and kept threatening her,” “B” says.
The recordings also capture the immediate aftermath of the news, with “B” stating that Kim Sae Ron’s friends were gathering at her residence to prepare for the funeral. Concerns are raised regarding the funeral arrangements and attempts to contact Kim Sae Ron’s mother.
The release of these audio recordings has ignited a wave of shock and grief, prompting calls for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Kim Sae Ron’s death. The authenticity of the audio remains to be officially verified.
