• Han So Hee's Interaction with Kim Sae Ron Stirs Fans: "Are They Close?"

    Fans are buzzing about the recent interaction between actresses Han So Hee and Kim Sae Ron.

    On July 2nd, Han So Hee posted a photo of herself holding a magic wand-shaped bubble blower. Among the many comments praising her beauty, one from Kim Sae Ron stood out: "Throw away the toy."

    The day before, Kim Sae Ron had also commented on another of Han So Hee's posts, saying, "Bang bang hurray hurray."

    Fans are surprised to see such friendly exchanges between the two, who have never worked together.

    The surprise stems from Kim Sae Ron’s current situation. She is reflecting on a drunk driving incident that happened on May 18, 2022.

    She crashed her car into guardrails and trees near Hakdong Intersection in Gangnam, Seoul. Her blood alcohol level was about 0.2%, leading to the revocation of her license. The accident also damaged a transformer, causing a power outage for local businesses.

    Kim Sae Ron was fined 20 million KRW for the incident. During her trial, she pleaded for leniency due to financial difficulties, but many doubted her claims after rumors that she staged a part-time job for sympathy.

    Additionally, Kim Sae Ron faced backlash for posting a selfie with actor Kim Soo Hyun, sparking false dating rumors. She tried to return to acting in a stage play last April but had to withdraw due to health issues.

    Recently, it has been reported that Kim Sae Ron is working as a manager at a café in Seongsu-dong, Seoul.

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
