Former entertainment reporter turned YouTuber Lee Jin Ho released additional videos claiming his innocence.
On March 20, the YouTuber released two videos titled, "Shocking Recording! The Real Reason Why Kim Sae Ron Was Struggling" and "Exposing Garoseoro Research Institute’s Falsehood! Suing Kim Sae Ron’s Fake Aunt."
Lee Jin Ho has been claiming that the reason for Kim Sae Ron's passing was due to her alleged husband, whom she married in the U.S. In one video, Lee Jin Ho even released a phone conversation recording with Kim Sae Ron's alleged close friend. In the conversation, the friend claimed that Kim Sae Ron was in an abusive relationship.

The friend claimed Kim Sae Ron’s tragic decision was due to an abusive relationship with a man she met in the United States. According to 'B,' this man physically assaulted Kim Sae Ron, and 'B' even mentioned having photos of the injuries.
In the second video, Lee Jin Ho explained that he would be filing a lawsuit against Kim Sae Ron's "aunt" for defamation. He shared that Kim Sae Ron's "aunt" is not a blood relative and accused the individual of spreading false information.
However, Korean netizens are taking a different perspective on Lee Jin Ho's latest claims. They are rather expressing sympathy toward Kim Sae Ron and also criticizing Lee Jin Ho for trying to divert the blame.
Korean netizens commented:
"She only had these types of people around her..."
"She must've been so lonely."
"She only had bad people around her."
"People only see what they want to see."
"This is only the beginning. We should really reveal the truth."
"Please cover up Lee Jin Ho's face. I don't want to see it."
"I don't think the person in the conversation is Kim Sae Ron's close friend. Why would they go to Lee Jin Ho to give information?"
"If the phone conversation recording is the truth, I feel more bad for Kim Sae Ron. She grew up in such a bad environment since she was young. An adult person dating a young person is not normal. She also needed protection from her family. She probably had no one she could depend on. That's why she kept leaning on weird people..."
"I don't think the important point is that Kim Sae Ron's 'aunt' is not her real aunt."
"The more this continues, the more I think the parents should've been there for her."
"I think she gave up because even her new boyfriend she met to find an escape was not that good of a person."
"We need to remember that we are in the era of AI. We can't really trust audio recordings anymore."
"Lee Jin Ho shouldn't have just released an audio recording from Kim Sae Ron's 'Friend.' He needs to prove that this 'friend' is real first."
"We all have someone we call 'aunt' who's not a real aunt. Okay? That's not what's important, Lee Jin Ho."
"Kim Sae Ron's family just wanted Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Jin Ho to apologize for making Kim Sae Ron look like a crazy person by denying they were dating. But this is getting so messy. If Lee Jin Ho didn't upload those videos mocking Kim Sae Ron, these things wouldn't have happened, I think."
