Red Velvet’s Yeri has touched fans with a heartfelt tribute to her late friend Kim Sae Ron.

On March 12, Yeri posted a photo on her social media, showing herself with a woman believed to be Kim Sae Ron. The two were seen affectionately linking arms, reminding fans of their close friendship.

But what really caught attention was the message Yeri shared alongside the photo. She included lyrics from Jennie’s song "Slow Motion (feat. Zico)", which has gained meaning after Jennie revealed she wrote it "for one special friend."

Yeri specifically highlighted this line:
"I didn't leave ya, I still see ya."

Yeri and Kim Sae Ron were known to be best friends in the entertainment industry. Their bond was so strong that when Yeri took her first-ever vacation, she chose to travel to Bali with Kim Sae Ron.

Seeing Yeri’s emotional post, fans left messages of support, saying:
"This is so heartbreaking..."
"Yeri and Sae Ron had such a precious friendship."
"We miss you, Sae Ron."

Meanwhile, Kim Sae Ron’s family recently made shocking claims through the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute. They alleged that she had been in a six-year relationship with Kim Soo Hyun since she was 15 years old and that her former agency, Gold Medalist, initially covered the ₩700 million KRW (~$530,000 USD) for her DUI accident, only to later demand repayment after her contract ended.

It was also claimed that Kim Sae Ron had posted an old photo with Kim Soo Hyun in an attempt to get in contact with him or his agency, as they had allegedly cut her off.

However, Gold Medalist firmly denied all allegations, stating, “The claims made by Garo Sero Institute regarding actor Kim Soo Hyun are completely false.”

As more details continue to unfold, fans are remembering Kim Sae Ron for the person she was, not just the controversies surrounding her. Yeri’s post has reminded everyone of the beautiful friendships she had in the industry.
