Kim Bora also shared a video featuring the two of them together, stating, 'Even though we can never meet again, isn’t it nice that we shared those moments together?' She added a poignant message for her friend, encouraging her to eat well and talk more in the afterlife.

Kim Sae Ron was found deceased at her home in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, on February 16. Her family has claimed that she was in a relationship with actor Kim Soo Hyun for six years, starting when she was a minor in 2015. However, Kim Soo Hyun's representatives have denied these claims, stating that they only dated after she turned 18, from the summer of 2019 to fall 2020. This controversy has led to escalating tensions between the two parties.
