Kim Sae Ron’s husband breaks silence on pregnancy and abortion rumors

In a statement released on March 25, 2025, Kim Sae Ron’s husband took the initiative to break down some facts associated with their marriage.

The actor’s husband stated in a long note: “Hello. This is the late Kim Sae Ron’s husband. I wondered if it was right for me to step up because I am still in pain, and unable to get out of my own feelings. I wondered if I would be causing damage to Sae Ron and her bereaved. Although I carefully considered it a few times, there have been so many distorted facts that are being spread, thanks to a couple of forces. I made the judgement that severe slander of the deceased was happening, and have written this statement in order to set the facts straight.

He said he met her and fell in love with her right away. However, as soon as the marriage had begun, they intended to dissolve it. “I was just living life as I did, an ordinary person, when I met Kim Sae Ron around mid-to-late November 2024, thanks to an introduction from an acquaintance. Thanks to having strong attraction to each other despite the short time, we got married legally in America, where I live, on January 12, 2025, with only witnesses present. Later, we decided to void the marriage upon agreement from both parties, due to the fact that we got married too quickly without serious consideration out of having fallen in love, as well as due to practical problems of a long-distance relationship, and differences in personalities.”

He vehemently refuted earlier allegations that she was carrying his child and refuted claims that he blackmailed her into marriage as a result.  “It is completely not true that she was pregnant. Rumors of her pregnancy came around January 2025, but we first met in mid-to-late November 2024. That was when we first met, and we started getting serious around the end of November when she visited America. The timelines do not match up. Also, we were not thinking about children, so Kim Sae Ron was taking birth control pills. It is a severe form of humiliation of the late Kim Sae Ron to claim that she was threatened into marriage due to pregnancy, etc. Who gets married due to threats? We both loved each other, and Kim Sae Ron also passionately agreed to the marriage, showing that she wanted to proceed with it. I can provide evidence for this.”

“As such, it is completely far from the truth about how I made her stay in the marriage through violence. We were doing research in preparation to void the marriage mutually. Our relationship can be told from the last handwritten card Kim Sae Ron gave me. We both decided that it would be better to quietly void the marriage without letting people know that we had been wed for a short time overseas. But false information about our personal lives and marriage, and unconfirmed claims from her ex-boyfriend, were spread through recordings by YouTuber Lee Jin Ho, Director Kwak Tae Young, and her previous manager.”

Her husband claimed that although their connection had been brief, it had been founded on mutual consent. He refutes allegations of a violent and tumultuous relationship between YouTuber Lee Jin Ho and Kim Sae Ron’s ex-boyfriend.
