All videos related to the late Kim Sae Ron have been made private on YouTube reporter Lee Jin Ho's channel.

As of February 17, it has been confirmed that all videos about Kim Sae Ron uploaded to 'Behind Master Lee Jin Ho' have been taken down. This is believed to be in response to growing criticism that excessive speculative reports and YouTube content contributed to Kim Sae Ron’s suicide.

Previously, reporter-turned-YouTuber Lee Jin Ho had produced multiple gossip-driven videos about the late Kim Sae Ron. One of these was about marriage rumors that surfaced in January.

On January 7, Lee Jin Ho speculated that Kim Sae Ron was preparing for marriage based on a social media post in which she wrote "Marry" alongside a photo of her in affectionate poses with a man.

When Lee Jin Ho attempted to contact Kim Sae Ron for clarification, he found that her number was unavailable. He then criticized her harshly, saying, "It seems she even deleted her number due to the controversy. She lacks sincerity in her self-reflection and has no sense of responsibility as a celebrity."

Lee Jin Ho also previously criticized Kim Sae Ron for allegedly drinking while on a self-imposed hiatus after her DUI incident. He questioned whether she was genuinely remorseful, although drinking itself is not an issue, only drinking and driving is. However, he framed the situation as if simply consuming alcohol was inherently wrong.

On February 17, Kwon Young Chan, head of the Korea Celebrity Suicide Prevention Association, who had met with Kim Sae Ron's father, pointed out an "unnamed YouTuber" during an interview. Kwon Young Chan stated, "Kim Sae Ron's father said that his daughter suffered severe emotional distress due to YouTuber A’s videos."

While the YouTuber was not explicitly named, considering that Lee Jin Ho continuously made speculative criticism about Kim Sae Ron, including ones regarding her wedding-themed photoshoot, and subsequently deleted all related videos, many believe Kwon Young Chan was referring to him.

Lee Jin Ho's channel has been flooded with angry comments demanding an apology. Netizens have left messages such as, "Are you happy now that Kim Sae Ron is gone?," "Cyberwrecker," "You drove her to death," "Deleting the videos is infuriating," and "Murderer."

Kwon Young Chan has since stated that if Kim Sae Ron’s family decides to take legal action against YouTuber 'A' or seek mediation through the Press Arbitration Commission, he will offer various forms of free support.

Meanwhile, Kim Sae Ron was found deceased in her Seoul home on February 16 at 4:54 PM. A friend who had planned to meet her discovered her and reported it to the police. Although no suicide note was found, authorities stated during a press briefing on February 17 that they believe she took her own life.
