Days after Garo Sero and Kim Sae Ron’s family attorney Bu Ji Seok held a press conference presenting an alleged audio file of Kim Sae Ron discussing her sexual relationship with Kim Soo Hyun when she was underage, actor Won Bin broke his silence on his involvement in the case. The informant, who calls himself the whistleblower and claimed to have been brutally attacked in New Jersey for holding the sensitive audio file, also name-dropped the legendary actor in the recording. Now, the actor’s side has issued a statement denying any connection to the informant or his family, stating the only way he is involved in the case is because he went to Sae Ron’s funeral. This comes after the whistleblower admitted to fabricating the audio sent to Soo Hyun, apparently backtracking on his initial claims.

Won Bin breaks silence in Kim Sae Ron’s case
Won Bin’s name has been dragged into the Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron case from the very start, surfacing every now and then after reports revealed that he tried to help Sae Ron financially in the days leading up to her death. Recently, in the audio file presented by Garo Sero, the whistleblower’s wife thanked Won Bin, saying, “I didn’t know who you were at first. I didn’t know you were famous in Korea, but I saw what you did. You came quietly, you offered your respect. That quiet humanity meant more to us than you ever know. Thank you sincerely.”
While she didn’t specify what kind of support she meant or whether the support was provided to her family during the time the informant claimed he was stabbed 9 times in New Jersey, fans began speculating about the potential involvement and whether Won Bin had any knowledge of Kim Sae Ron’s recording. Responding to this, his representative released an official statement to Money Today, saying, “We don’t know if the informant is even a real person. I also don’t understand why the informant’s wife is thanking Won Bin. There is nothing related other than attending the funeral to mourn the deceased.” The agency clarified that the actor has never been to New Jersey (where Mr. A’s family lives) and the only connection to the case was attending Kim Sae Ron’s funeral. From the context, it was understood that they were referring to Kim Sae Ron’s funeral. The informant’s wife expressed gratitude towards Won Bin, but did not state that she received any help.”
Won Bin on sending huge condolence money to Kim Sae Ron’s funeral
Won Bin’s team cleared up another rumour that the actor sent a large amount of condolence money to the family. Not true, they said. He sent the same amount as others and didn’t do anything out of the ordinary. “We hope that other young and talented actresses like Kim Sae Ron don’t end their lives like that again. We don’t want Won Bin to be mentioned in strange ways.” Won Bin and Kim Sae Ron acted together in The Man From Nowhere when she was only 10. Since then, the two shared a very close bond, and Won Bin was known to be kind to her. He even quit smoking during filming out of consideration for her. Won Bin quit acting a while ago.
