Actress and broadcaster Seo Yu-ri faced backlash after mourning the late Kim Sae-ron.
On the 17th, Seo Yu-ri posted on her SNS, “Why did you leave the world like this...”. Although she did not specify the subject, it appears to be a message mourning Kim Sae-ron, as the news of her passing was reported on the 16th.
Despite expressing her sorrow for a colleague who left the world at a young age, she received negative comments. One netizen criticized her without context, saying, “You’re so rude. I think you’ll be leaving soon too; there’s a limit to how much you can take off.” This comment, which seems to predict that Seo Yu-ri might make an extreme choice, has drawn even more attention.
Seo Yu-ri captured the comment and shared it, expressing her surprise with “???”.
Kim Sae-ron passed away on the 16th at the age of 25. The Seoul Seongdong Police Station reported that they received a call at 4:54 PM on the 16th regarding Kim Sae-ron being found dead at her home, and they confirmed her death upon arrival. No suicide note was found.
