In the midst of their grief, late Kim Sae Ron's family recently shared something truly moving: a handwritten letter from a journalist. The note wasn’t just an expression of condolences—it was an honest and heartfelt acknowledgment of the challenges Kim Sae Ron faced, as well as the ways media coverage may have affected her life.


The journalist, identified as Choi Jung Ah, poured sincerity into her words, apologizing for any unintentional pain caused by the portrayal of Kim Sae Ron in the media. She expressed deep regret over how stories can sometimes lose sight of the person behind the headlines.

"Hello, this is Choi Jung Ah.


I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable by reaching out directly, so I decided to leave this note. 


I didn’t come here on purpose, but I happened to come across your name while calculating something and thought I should leave a message. 


Regarding the part about "false information," I feel a slight sense of unfairness, even just a fraction of it. This is neither an interview request nor a request for coverage. 


I won’t be talking about this anywhere else. However, I just wanted to express my apologies for the spread of incorrect information about you, as a fellow in the industry. 


Once you return, I hope we can meet and laugh over an interview. Whether it's for a broadcast or an article, I will be supporting you properly. You’re so beautiful in person, and I look forward to meeting you again in a future project.

Kim Sae Ron, though no longer with us, received letters while working at a café during her lifetime, and these letters are still kept by her surviving family members. 


This serves as an example that not all journalists are bad, and that there are honest and righteous reporters as well.
