Was Kim Sae Ron's Instagram hijacked by her own mother on meds? Viral chats paint ex-manager as protective ‘father' figure
Shortly after the lawsuit was filed, journalist Kang Kyung Yoon released alleged KakaoTalk messages between Kim Sae Ron and her former manager. The screenshots appear to show a close and personal relationship between the two. The chats quickly spread across online platforms.
Family strain
The revealed texts portray K not only managing Kim Sae Ron 's schedule but also acting as an emotional and logistical support figure. In the conversations, the late actress is seen confiding in him about her family.
'My mom posted something on Instagram again…' the actress wrote. The manager responded, 'I saw… why did she do that?' to which Kim replied, 'I don't know…' The manager warned that media coverage had resurfaced, adding, 'It will only get worse if she keeps doing this. Let her know never to do it again. Otherwise, we have to get rid of the account.'
Kim then explained, 'My mom took meds and posted something on my Instagram while I slept.' The exchange hinted at underlying strain in her relationship with her family.
Tone of conversation highlights a paternal bond
Other exchanges suggest that he frequently checked in on her well-being and helped with day-to-day matters unrelated to professional responsibilities. They include booking hospital appointments and offering to cover personal expenses. In one instance, Kim reportedly asked him to help pay a household utility fee, which he agreed to handle.
The tone of the messages has led many online users to interpret the relationship as one resembling that of a guardian or father figure. In birthday greetings and casual chats, the manager offered emotional encouragement and reminded her to rest and stay strong. Kim's responses were equally affectionate, even referring to him as 'father' in one message.
The messages also appear to capture a moment following her failed attempt. Kim urged him, 'I can't after what happened recently. My parents can't know. ** will come.' He confirmed the visit and scheduled her appointment discreetly.
Online response
The messages garnered over 110,000 views online. The timing of the leak has fueled speculation. Many online users believe the messages were released in response to K's lawsuit against Kwon Young Chan.
The YouTuber has accused the former manager of grooming, embezzlement, and having undisclosed links to Kim Soo Hyun 's agency. However, no direct evidence has been provided. Some netizens felt the manager's actions reflected sincere concern. But critics argue that the messages may have been released to frame the manager in a more sympathetic light.

Sunjay Kapur's sister Mandhira pens emotional note about life after his death, remembers late dad: ‘Our world will never be the same'
Sunjay Kapur's sister Mandhira Kapur recently shared a post remembering her father Surinder Kapur on his 10th death anniversary. Surinder also died in June. Penning an emotional note, Mandhira also remembered her brother, who passed away last month and said, 'Our world will never be the same.' Sharing a note for her father, Mandhira wrote, 'In the footsteps of a visionary, we find the strength to forge ahead and build a brighter future. His legacy lives on in every innovation, every achievement, and every dream we pursue. With gratitude, we honour a leader whose dedication and passion continues to inspire us all.' Sharing the post, she captioned it: 'Missing dad today. Can't believe it's been 10 years. Bhaiya and him are together looking down on us. Miss them, our world will never be the same.' Mandhira's post received the support of celebs like Mozes Singh and Bhavana Pandey. They dropped folded hands emojis in the post's comments section. A post shared by Mandhira Kapur (@mandhirakapursmith) Just a week before, Mandhira had shared another emotional post remembering her brother. She shared several throwback photos on her Instagram handle and penned a long note. In the post, she shared that she was not in talking terms with her brother for the past four years. 'My brother and I may not have spoken for the last 4 years, a silly sibling squabble escalated to crazy levels due to egos and natural bullishness, however, that will never take back what we were and what we had.' A post shared by Mandhira Kapur (@mandhirakapursmith) However, she regretted that she couldn't fix things between her and Sunjay. She wrote, 'What happened towards the end has been both horrible and pointless, I will never have my moments with him again. We will never be us and it is devastating that we didn't fix what had become broken and so now my heart is the same. I am sure he knew despite our recent estrangement that I loved him and in my soul I am sure he shared the same hope as I, that one day we would be as amazing as we were for the first 47 years. Of this I am sure and take some small comfort.'
