As fans know, actress Kim Sae Ron committed su1cide at her home on February 16. The cause was reportedly depression and life pressure after the actress was banned due to a drunk driving scandal.
After this news, there were many news and comments related to SUGA's DUI case and the late actress's case spreading on SNS. Despite SUGA's case having ended a long time ago and the unfortunate outcome that Kim Sae Ron recently encountered, malicious comments continued to target him.
In response to this move, ARMYs stood up to protect him and prevent negative information from affecting the artist:
Yesterday, fans were extremely ѕнσ¢кed by the news of actress Kim Sae Ron's ∂єαтн. It is known that Kim Sae Ron's life began to fall into a state of crisis after the driving scandal in May 2022. At that time, the late actress was fined 20 million KRW, had to pay a large compensation to affected businesses, and also had to pay a penalty for breach of contract with her management company.
After the scandal, her image as a young and talented actress was completely destroyed. Not only was she boycotted by the au∂ιєnce, her acting career was also put to an end when she was banned from broadcasting by the station, no directors invited her to act in films, completed roles were deleted or cut, and a series of advertising contracts were canceled. Finally, the management company also announced that they would not renew the contract, ending Kim Sae Ron's artistic path from then on.
According to a close person, this caused Kim Sae Ron to struggle with severe depression afterwards. During this time, she worked part-time at a cafe near Yaksu-dong, Seoul from morning until sunset to earn money to cover her living expenses and pay off her debts. In addition, she also taught acting to young actors to earn extra income, but it was still not enough to cover her huge debts.
Looking back at the alcohol scandal that ruined her rising acting career and now her life, fans realized that the pressure of кσяєαn public opinion was really too terrible. However, the pαѕѕing of the late actress still did not seem to wake up the overzealous public. Recently, SUGA even became the next target of the backlash, making ARMYs extremely angry.
Specifically, since the news of actress Kim Sae Ron's suicide was shared, some news and comments comparing the DUI case of SUGA's and the actress also began to appear. People started the discussion by mentioning "DUI is a severe crime btw imagine showing ur love for a criminal". Another article attracted hundreds of comments with the content: 'The similarities between BTS Suga and Kim Sae Ron that people don't know'. The article points out the same alcohol levels that both were measured by the ρσℓι¢є at the time of the α¢¢ι∂єит.
Not only that, ARMYs were also accused of attacking the female artist and using her as a scapegoat during the time when SUGA's scandal broke out. Not to mention the extreme comments and ¢υяѕєs against the BTS rapper that we do not want to list here. It is worth mentioning that SUGA's incident has pαѕѕed for a while and above all, the consequences of actress Kim Sae Ron's ∂єαтн due to public pressure have just appeared.
In this context, ARMYs cannot help but take action! A group of active fans have stopped negative comments by reporting to social media platforms and Big Hit. Others have refuted different points against the argument that SUGA was treated more leniently while both were driving drunk. ARMYs also pointed out that the actress’s pαѕѕing has warned netizens about the unfortunate consequences of pushing artists to the edge.
Some typical comments from fans include:
- Trying to make fanwars when someone ∂ιєd. You're the worst.
- If you don’t know, you are part of the problem
- EVERYONE REPORT THIS PERSON TOO
- ( but taeil and seungri are still alive and well/ Suga dui too!) you're comparing rapists to a men that fell of a scooter and harmed no one but himself. just fυ¢кing stupid and gross. go to hell.
- please remember to be kind and empathetic. Words have real power and they can кιℓℓ a person. All she ever heard were mean and нσяяιвℓє things. My heart hurts. Rest in peace, kim sae ron
- They made a giant mistake but they accepted accountability and consequences of that....They can turn a new chapter and move forward after they realize their mistakes and correct. They didn't deserve to be hounded out of ever having a livelihood
- Hypocrite. You were even the first one to ¢υяѕє her
- What are you trying to do when another person has just ∂ιєd?
Finally, letting unfortunate consequences like Kim Sae Ron’s case happen is soмєтнing that no netizen wants. So, don’t let your offensive words become the knife that ends someone else’s life next!
