In addition, leaked voice recordings between Kim Sae Ron and a former agency staff member reveal that she was allegedly blackmailed into marriage after an unplanned pregnancy and abortion.

“I was also not going to marry my current boyfriend, and was actually about to break up with him. But then, I suddenly got pregnant,” Kim allegedly said in the recording. When asked about her status, she confirmed, “No, I got an abortion. But because of that, we ended up getting married.”

The recordings suggest her husband exerted control over her life, restricting her access to social media and messaging apps. Kim reportedly deleted KakaoTalk and primarily used Telegram at his insistence. 

The YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute previously reported that contrary to the information revealed in the leaked recordings, Kim Sae Ron told her family that it was Kim Soo Hyun who instructed her to change her phone, delete KakaoTalk, and use Telegram for communication.

Lee Jin Ho’s report claims that Kim Sae Ron’s family is suppressing key details details while accusing Kim Soo Hyun of misconduct. The growing controversy continues to fuel speculation about the truth behind her final months.

As the situation unfolds, neither Kim Soo Hyun nor Kim Sae Ron’s family has publicly addressed the latest allegations.
