Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously, Garri Sero said that due to the timeline, it
doesn't make sense how Kim Seiran would be able to
get married, get pregnant, and get an abortion in one month. However,
today alleged Kim Seiran's husband and also a boyfriend spoke out. Recently,
the late Kim Searan's ex boyfriend, Kay held an exclusive

(00:22):
interview with a media outlet and exposed Kim su jyun,
stating he had no part in her passing. He revealed
that Kim Seheran would find comfort in him as her
husband would physically and verbally abuse her. After finding out
that they were still communicating with each other, her husband
took her phone and monitored her actions. This situation ended

(00:43):
up giving Kim Searan severe stress, to the point where
she attempted harming multiple times. Kay also revealed a series
of messages between him and Kim Seiran and from her husband.
Kay also denied claims that Kim su Jyun was at
fault and focused the blame on her family. As someone
who knew Sehron better than anyone else, it's absurd to

(01:05):
me that her aunt suddenly appears claims to be part
of her bereaved family and is now pushing the narrative
that Kim Sehiran passed away because of Kim su Jyun.
If her biological parents aren't even the ones stepping forward,
isn't it more likely they are the ones she wanted
to escape from. Kim Seyran, Yeah, no, don't answer it.

(01:27):
He's crazy, Kim Seyharan. Block him on Instagram. You don't
need to hear him out, Kim Seyhyan. It wasn't your fault.
You don't deserve to be told things like that. Ka,
this is so annoying. He's cursing me out. I can
curse too. You know this is f up. Ka. I

(01:49):
blocked him, Damn, Kim Seyran, I'm sorry. You can take
it out on me instead. That bee is crazy. Key's mental,
Kim s I keep getting cursed at and beaten too,
but nothing changes. Ka, Just report him, man, I do
nolive him. That little f Who does he think he is?

(02:13):
Kim Seyran. I can't report him because he's American apparently,
Kim seyn Sorry, I'm so sorry. Have you had lunch yet?
Don't skip your meals. He also shared a screenshot of
an Instagram direct message from her husband then boyfriend. This
is Sean's boyfriend. Stop getting in touch with her again

(02:35):
and don't even think about seeing her again. This is
my final warning. I know you met up with her
on Christmas Eve and Christmas. I'm holding back even though
I want to un alive you, so I'm blocking you.
Just please f off you, useless piece of shit. Kim
Sehn continued to message Kay, even confiding in him that

(02:55):
he was the most precious person in the world to her,
but she didn't want to her hurt him. Kim, say, Ron,
that's not it. That's not how I feel. I was
a bad person to you, But I still want to
tell you everything. Kay, your boyfriend cursed me out. He'd
med me, threatening to kill me and calling me a

(03:16):
piece of shit. Do you have any idea how that
made me feel? Kim say Ran, I started seeing him
in November. At first, I couldn't share it, and you
were constantly having a difficult time. I was struggling and
couldn't rely on you. The truth is I was lonely
and I needed someone who would be there to listen
to me and help me solve my problems. But that

(03:39):
help was temporary. Later on, he began leaking my cockcaw
talk messages and photos packed into my Instagram, hit me
and cursed at me. I was so scared, That's why
I couldn't break up with him. I was always afraid
that you would be hurt because of me, so I
said we should break up, and all this happened. You

(04:00):
were the most precious person to me, and I didn't
want him talking shit to you. I didn't want you
to get hurt, but I haven't been able to push
you away because I'm that greedy. And now we're here.
I got us into this situation and left you in
pain and with scars. But I was sincere every moment
I was with you. My feelings for you were genuine,

(04:20):
and you were the most precious love to me. Cut off,
Kay claimed that she struggled heavily due to her family's
indifference to her personal situation. He revealed that on November first,
twenty twenty four, she attempted harming and required emergency surgery.
Despite her family being notified of this, none of them
showed up to be there for her in her time

(04:42):
of need, with only Kay staying by her side until
she was discharged. From the hospital. Her former agency covered
the hospital fees. When I brought Seyeron home after she
was discharged, her mother and her mother's friend were casually
having a meal at home. She didn't look surprised or
she show any signs of empathy. This kind of reaction

(05:02):
from her family is why she always wanted to run away.
Kay stated that Kim Seheran would continue to confide in
him after her marriage and opened up about her harming
attempts to him. I couldn't forgive myself and there was
no other way. I tried, but all that was left
were scars. I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise to you,

(05:23):
and I'm sorry that I'm not in more pain. Then
he said, how can a daughter get married without her
family knowing? I can understand, though, the fact that none
of them knew about her getting married to the New
York Man proves how little communication there was between them.
They hardly cared when she was alive, but now that
she's gone, they're digging up a relationship from years ago

(05:46):
with a famous actor. There has to be an ulterior
motive behind this. I've never met Kim su hyun, but
I can only imagine how wrong he must feel getting
so much backlash just because he's a popular celebrity. To
include his interview with the fact, Kay signed and stamped
a statement with his Korean Social Security number as a

(06:06):
show of credibility. He also shared a voice recording of
Kim Sehran at the hospital saying she needed surgery and
the cost would be about three thy four hundred and
ten US dollars, but the person she called was not
her family, rather one of her acquaintances. However, Korean nedicines
were disgusted and felt that this was only being exposed

(06:27):
for the money. Truly a sad Korean man cartel o
k Kim su hyun leave the industry? Who cares? What
does this have to do with being so gross? I
wonder how much he was paid to do this? So disgusting,
crazy people, so scary. How this is written just like
the expected post. They knew they would bring in a

(06:48):
third person to interview. Kwan Yung Chan, the head of
the Korea Celebrity in a Living Prevention association who has
been in contact with Kim Sehran's family, refuted Kay's claims
strongly on their behalf in an interview on March twenty fifth,
twenty twenty five, he presented a hospital receipt and reiterated

(07:08):
that her family had gone to the hospital over eighteen
times for Kim Seheran. She attempted no living about twenty times,
and her parents took her to the hospital for eighteen
of them. They were there for her throughout. Kwan added
that on the decay claimed her former agency paid for
her emergency surgery. Kim sehern did not contact her mother.

(07:29):
Her manager accompanied her instead, likely because her mother, who
worked nights as a substitute driver, was sleeping during the day.
The agency CEO was reportedly furious at the manager for
not informing the family, fearing something could have gone wrong.
They only dated for a month. Would someone really confide

(07:49):
such deeply personal issues to someone they were with for
such a short time, He says it wasn't because of
Kim su hyun, while simultaneously blaming her family. It doesn't
add up. Quana is Well admitted that Kim Sehiran had
a complicated relationship with her mother. Her mother quit her
job to act as her manager from her child acting days.

(08:10):
She opposed both the move to the agency gold medalist
and Kim's relationship with Kim Sujan that might have made
it hard for Kim to open up when things went badly. Still,
they had a love hate relationship that spanned over twenty
five years. Kim Sehran faced an emergency surgery that her
former agency reportedly paid about three thousand, four hundred and

(08:31):
ten US dollars for. According to critics, that amount is
unusual for Korean citizens due to the hefty insurance that
Koreans are entitled to, a total of about three thousand,
six hundred and eighty US dollars was paid, but the
receipts lack itemized charges. It looked suspiciously like a card
Kane transaction, a shady practice of disguising credit card cash

(08:54):
loans as product purchases. Four patients with full insurance, sutures
or emergency treatment for the risk should cost between about
one hundred and thirty six US dollars to about two
hundred and seventy three thousand US dollars at most, Even
at a plastic surgery clinic, non insurance procedures typically top
out at about six hundred and eighty two US dollars

(09:15):
to about one thousand, three hundred and sixty US dollars.
This amount just doesn't make sense. Kwan continued to claim
that while the payments were made with the agency CEO's
credit card, an investigation with the hospital found that a
part of the about three thousand, four hundred and ten
US dollars was charged to Kim Seiran's mother's personal credit card.
The hospital staff also allegedly voiced that the person who

(09:37):
brought the cards in for payment came back to retrieve
leftover funds. This implies that Kim Seiran's mother had footed
a part of the bill, resulting in extra money which
was collected as a refund by the agency's staff. The
family has allegedly been trying to reach her former manager.
This manager was the same whose voice was heard in
the bombshell voice recordings of Kim Seiran about her mon marriage.

(10:00):
We tried to ask where about three thousand, six hundred
and eighty US dollars was really spent, but we can't
reach him. He was extremely close to Kim Seiran, even
helping her with all her meals, but every time she
tried to make a comeback, personal details kept leaking. Then
Lee Jean Hoe would upload videos spreading unverified claims about

(10:21):
her private life, fueling public negativity. It's hard not to
suspect that Bee may have been the source of those leaks. Then,
Kim Seiran's husband has stepped up in a statement made
on March twenty fifth, twenty twenty five. The statement was
aired through Garro Siro Research Institute. Her husband has spoken
out due to being unable to see the truth being

(10:42):
allegedly distorted. Hello, this is the late Kim Seiran'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 Seiran and her bereaved. Although
I carefully considered it a few times, there have been
so many distorted facts that are being spread thanks to

(11:04):
a couple of forces. I made the judgment that severe
slander of the deceased was happening and have written this
statement in order to set the facts straight. He claimed
to have met and fallen in love with her quickly.
They were planning on avoiding the marriage almost as quickly
as it had started. I was just living life as
I did an ordinary person. When I met Kim Seheran

(11:27):
around mid to late November twenty twenty four 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 twelfth, twenty
twenty five, with only witnesses present. Later, we decided to

(11:47):
avoid 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 firmly denied previous claims that she
had been pregnant with his child. As such, he also

(12:08):
denied allegations of blackmailing her into marriage. It is completely
not true that she was pregnant. Rumors of her pregnancy
came around January twenty twenty five, but we first met
in mid to late November twenty twenty four. That was
when we first met, and we started getting serious around
the end of November when she visited America. The timelines

(12:31):
do not match up. Also, we were not thinking about children,
so Kim Seiran was taking birth control pills. It is
a severe form of humiliation of the late Kim Seiran
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 Seharn also passionately agreed to the marriage,

(12:54):
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 and preparation
to void the marriage mutually. Our relationship can be told
from the last handwritten card Kim Seharan gave me. We
both decided that it would be better to quietly avoid

(13:16):
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 gene Hoe,
director Quak te Jung, and her previous manager. When the
video was posted, netizens were even angrier at both Kim

(13:38):
su hyun and Lee Jayan Ho, explaining how all of
this news shouldn't distract from the allegations he dated her
as a minor. There was also a lot of criticism
towards Lee jen Hoe, with some saying he unolived her,
along with praising the Garrisaro Research Institute for continuously shining
a light on the topic. The issue is whether Kim
su hyun dated Kim Sehan when she was a minor

(14:01):
or not, whether you believe the about four hundred and
seventy seven thousand US dollars rumor or not. Those are
the only two key points. Any other news about men
and marriage is irrelevant. Just because Kim Sehan passed away
doesn't mean Kim su hyun's alleged violation of child and
youth protection laws should be swept under the rug. Please

(14:21):
investigate until the end. Kim seharn wanted to escape Korea,
even if it meant through marriage. This is heartbreaking. Lee
Jean Hoe is once again stirring things up about Kim
Sehn and her mother. She had a bad relationship with
her mother, but she didn't pass away because of her.
She took her own life because of you, So why

(14:42):
do you keep saying otherwise. The husband also revealed a
photo of their marriage certificate as proof. He also denied
assaulting her one regarding assault the house, I am currently
residing in in America is a quiet apartment complex with
very weak li sound proofing. It has built such that
if assault had taken place, the floor below would immediately

(15:06):
make a report. In addition, assault in America results in
strong legal responsibility. I am someone who has received a
thorough upbringing in America. After I met Kim Sehan for
the first time. From November twenty twenty four to February
twenty twenty five, we have met up a total of
four times. Apart from the first time I met her

(15:27):
in November twenty twenty four as I have to go
to work, The last three times were when she came
to visit me in America every month. If I did
really lock her up and assault her, why would Kim
Sehan voluntarily come to America each time? For myself, I
also felt sorry that she had to sit through a
long flight and go through the strict immigrations procedure at

(15:48):
the airport. So I did my best financially and emotionally
for her so that she would be content whenever she
visited America. They said they had photos of the physical abuse,
and I urge them to publicize the photos if they
have them. If necessary, I will undergo police investigations. Kim
Searan's husband admitted that they openly shared information such as

(16:11):
their social media accounts with each other. He claimed that
these were mutually agreed upon due to their long distance relationship. Two,
Regarding my monitoring of her, as we were in a
long distance relationship, we did not restrict access to each
other's cell phones and social media accounts in terms of passwords.
In actuality, Kim Sehn used my phone to contact people

(16:34):
many times, and we freely shared our passwords with each
other and more in order to build trust as a
married couple. I can tell you that in actuality, we
exchanged our passwords, etc. Through DMS, as well as wrote
promises to each other as a couple, and were also
open with other information as agreed between us mutually. Whenever

(16:56):
she was in America, she was always with me and
we shared bared everything with each other without secrets. I
am in suspicion how they portrayed this as me monitoring
her moves, but I think that this is a mutually
agreeable choice you can make as a couple. I can
prove this with a written agreement we made as a couple. Last,
but not least, he had faced threats recently by an

(17:18):
anonymous source who claimed to be Kim Searan's cousin. Lastly,
on March eighteenth, twenty twenty five, someone contacted me anonymously
claiming to be Kim Searan's acquaintance. I will show you
the message I received from them. I continued to talk
to them as I believed them to be someone I knew,

(17:38):
but they lied and said that they were her older
male cousin and tried to provoke me multiple times, asking
me about falsehoods such as why I assaulted her, blackmailed her,
et cetera. When I said that I would be taking
legal actions, they immediately stopped contacting me. If needed, I
will request for affair and just police inspection. Please immediately

(18:01):
cease the spread of falsehoods about a deceased person's personal life.
