Earlier on March 28 KST, the YouTube channel HOVERLAB exposed more KakaoTalk messages allegedly exchanged between the late actress Kim Sae Ron and actor Kim Soo Hyun.

Initially, when HOVERLAB and Kim Sae Ron's bereaved family members began revealing the KakaoTalk messages at a press conference on March 27 KST, some onlookers raised suspicions that the messages were "unreliable" or "fabricated". 

However, many netizens are convinced that the latest messages publicized by HOVERLAB, at least contain adequate "evidence" to prove that the they were in fact, exchanged in 2018, when Kim Sae Ron was still 17-years old. 

First, in one conversation, Kim Sae Ron sent Kim Soo Hyun a photo of her hand making a finger heart.

Netizens dug through Kim Sae Ron's Instagram to confirm that the actress had the same nails as the ones spotted above around April of 2018. 

In another conversation, Kim Sae Ron sent Kim Soo Hyun a selca on her way to a schedule. 

Netizens then dug through Kim Sae Ron's past public appearances, discovering a press photo of the actress taken on the morning of April 13, when the above conversation took place. Many believe that the actress's hair, makeup, and outfit match the photo sent to Kim Soo Hyun.

It was shortly after this photo wall appearance that Kim Sae Ron attempted to confront Kim Soo Hyun about him "ghosting" her to hang out with friends. But according to HOVERLAB, she decided against it and deleted the message she had initially typed, instead simply responding with "I do feel a little upset." 

Netizens commented, 

"Whoever found her nails... that's some serious sleuthing. Now if there are people who still won't believe it, or say that it's all fabricated... those people need to visit the hospital asap."

"I'm shocked by how young Sae Ron looks in those photos."

"Kim Soo Hyun has been silent for days... If there's anyone who still thinks that these messages are fake, they are lying to themselves."

"Please, if these KakaoTalk messages were fake in any way, Kim Soo Hyun would have jumped at the opportunity to prove it. They're obviously real."

"Come out, apologize, and then go hide in a hole and never show your face again."

"She might look more mature in some angles because of her makeup and stuff, but she was just way too young for any of this."

"I genuinely want this whole thing to be over. He needs to apologize to the deceased and then f*** off for the rest of his life."

"The fact that she wanted to get angry at him, because she had every right to if this was a normal relationship, but in the end she erased what she wrote and just told him to have a good time TTTT."

"Kim Soo Hyun, please prove that you have at least an ounce of dignity as a human being, come out, and apologize...."

"The fact that even the times match up exactly with that press photo... whoever found this is crazy."

Meanwhile, Kim Soo Hyun previously denied HOVERLAB's claims that he and Kim Sae Ron dated when the actress was still a minor. According to Kim Soo Hyun's side, the two dated between 2019~2020, after Kim Sae Ron became of legal age.
