Kim Sae-ron’s final post resurfaced five months before her tragic passing, offering haunting clues about her emotional state. In the early hours of September 8 last year, the late actress shared a deeply personal message on her private social media account, indirectly addressing those she felt had abandoned her in times of hardship. SBS Entertainment News recently released the captured post, fueling speculation and grief among her fans.

On September 23, SBS Entertainment News reported that the late Kim Sae-ron posted a message that may have served as her final words. Around 2 a.m. on September 8 last year—five months before she was found dead—Kim uploaded a story to her private account. The post included a heartfelt and accusatory message directed toward both her supporters and those she believed betrayed her during her most vulnerable time.

“If I die, please capture this and post it,” she wrote, proceeding to list the names of individuals she credited as “the people who saved my life.” She continued, “To those who left me when I was at my lowest point, think about what you got from me.”

In the same post, Kim referenced her DUI incident: “My breathalyzer showed 0 and my blood showed high, but it was the day before and there was no power outage, and I compensated you for the damage.” This comment appears to address public backlash and misunderstandings related to her legal troubles, and may have been an attempt to clarify her side of the story.

Kim Sae-ron final post prompts visits from friends, reveals financial burdens

According to SBS, several of Kim’s acquaintances who saw the message rushed to her residence in Seongdong-gu within 10 minutes, concerned about her wellbeing. Their swift action reportedly helped prevent a potential crisis at that time.

The post also hinted at deeper distress, with Kim concluding, “I won’t suffer anymore,” a phrase that now carries devastating weight in hindsight. Following the message, SBS journalists interviewed those close to Kim and confirmed she was under significant financial strain, reportedly owing several acquaintances hundreds of millions of won.

Her emotional and financial burdens appeared to be compounded by public fallout from her past drunk driving incident, as well as personal rifts with former supporters. This may help contextualize the bitterness and desperation expressed in her final message.

Further complicating matters, ongoing disputes between her family and ex-lover actor Kim Soo-hyun have emerged since her death, specifically over the timeline of their romantic relationship. These private matters have only intensified the media scrutiny surrounding her passing.

Kim Sae-ron was found dead on February 16 in her Seongsu-dong apartment. A friend, Mr. A, who had arranged to meet her that day, discovered her body. Police ruled out foul play, noting no signs of external intrusion and confirming that no suicide note was found at the scene.
