Pentagon member Kino shared an emotional message about bidding farewell to the late actress Kim Sae Ron.
On Wednesday, Kino shared his thoughts on Instagram, writing, “In the past two years, I’ve had to say goodbye to two dear friends at the same funeral home. It seems Sae Ron really missed Moon Bin.”
He said, “I barely slept for two days, but still can’t find peace. I hope the family found comfort in the many people who came to pay their respects during her final journey.”
Kino then reflected, “How many more stars must we lose before this cycle comes to an end?” He emphasized, “There’s always more to the story. Being a public figure doesn’t mean you must endure baseless speculation, exaggerated stories, and unfair criticism.”
He concluded with a heartfelt message: “I truly hope these tragedies stop repeating. Find peace now. You’ve done more than enough.”
Actress Kim Sae Ron was found deceased at her home in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, on Sunday. The first person to discover her body was a friend who had planned to meet with her that day. Police reported that “no signs of foul play or criminal activity were found” and confirmed no suicide note was discovered at the scene.
Born in July 2000, Kim Sae Ron debuted as a magazine cover model when she was just an infant in 2001. She gained recognition with her role in the 2009 film A Brand New Life, which was selected for the Cannes International Film Festival. Her breakout role came in 2010 with the hit film The Man from Nowhere, starring Won Bin.
Kim Sae Ron successfully transitioned from a child actor to a leading lady, starring in films like A Girl at My Door (2014), Manhole (2014), Snowy Road (2017), and The Villagers (2018), as well as TV dramas including Snowy Road (2015), Secret Healer (2016), and The Great Shaman Ga Doo Shim (2021).
However, her career came to a halt in May 2022 following a DUI and hit-and-run incident. Kim Sae Ron issued a handwritten apology and parted ways with her agency, Gold Medalist, as her contract expired. Her final project was the music film Guitar Man, filmed in November 2022.
Moon Bin, born January 26, 1998, debuted in 2016 as a member of the K-pop group ASTRO. Sadly, he passed away in April 2023 at the age of 25.
