Actor Kim Bo-ra expressed her heartfelt feelings at the 49th day memorial for the late Kim Sae-ron.

On the 5th, Kim posted on her Instagram story, "You were 11, I was 16. You were so curious about what I was that you chatted away beside me when we first met at the audition. You entered middle school with that year. You became a high school student. Suddenly, you were the one driving the car."

He continued, "You liked receiving letters, so it was fun to write you letters, whether by text or notes, even on days that weren't your birthday. Looking through our photo album, I remembered how I felt back then. You were the youngest who hated the cold. Of all times, it's raining again. Don't fall, you silly. Just receive the letter." He sent a heartfelt letter to the late Kim Sae-ron.

That day marked the 49th day since Kim Bo-ra's close friend Kim Sae-ron passed away. Therefore, Kim reflected on her friend, who became a star in the sky, stating, "Even if it is an encounter that can never be seen again, isn't it good in its own way that we were together in that moment?"

Meanwhile, the late Kim Sae-ron, who was referred to as a 'genius child actor,' was found dead at her home in Seongdong District, Seoul, on Feb. 16. A friend of the deceased reported finding Kim Sae-ron collapsed, and police handled the case as a death by suicide.

However, Kim Sae-ron's family strongly claims that the late actor was in a relationship with Kim Soo-hyun since her minor years, raising allegations of "grooming crimes." Additionally, Kim Soo-hyun's agency pressured the deceased over a 700 million won compensation related to her DUI offense, and Kim Soo-hyun is accused of turning a blind eye, revealing details of their personal lives.

In response, Kim Soo-hyun held an emergency press conference on the afternoon of the 31st at the Stanford Hotel in Mapo District, Seoul, strongly denying the allegations of dating the deceased during her minor years. He emphasized, while weeping, that the individuals engaging in conversations with the deceased in KakaoTalk messages from 2016 and 2018 are different people.

Kim Soo-hyun claimed he dated the deceased for about a year before breaking up, five years earlier than the airing of "Queen of Tears". He raised his voice, stating, "If the evidence presented by the bereaved family is indeed true, I request they submit all materials to investigative agencies for verification through legal procedures."
