Actress Kim Sae Ron, who recently sparked a huge controversy over 'self-wedding' rumors, is now facing even more drama as she reportedly deleted her phone number following the intense backlash.

On January 8th, the YouTube channel Entertainment President Lee Jin Ho dropped a shocking video revealing that Kim Sae Ron’s phone number had been deleted. Lee Jin Ho, who tried reaching out to the actress for her side of the story, explained, "I called Kim Sae Ron, but her number was unavailable, and I received an automated voice message saying the number no longer exists. This number was working just a few days ago, which suggests it was deleted due to the controversy surrounding her."

He added, "There’s been no real apology or reflection from her, and this kind of careless behavior is making the public turn against Kim Sae Ron."

The drama all started on January 6th, when Kim Sae Ron posted photos showing her in an all-black outfit with a mysterious man. The images, which had them posing affectionately, led fans to speculate that the actress was revealing her wedding. The caption, "Marry" (Mer-ri, a play on the word "marriage"), added fuel to the rumor fire. However, Kim Sae Ron quickly deleted the photos, making the situation even more confusing and strengthening the "self-wedding" speculation.

Not long after, Kim Sae Ron cleared up the confusion in a phone interview with Hankyung.com, saying, "It was just a photo with friends. The marriage rumors aren’t true." She explained her quick deletion of the photos by saying, "It's hard to explain" and asked for understanding from fans.

This isn't the first time Kim Sae Ron has found herself in the middle of rumors. Last year, she posted a photo with actor Kim Soo Hyun, which led to dating rumors. She chose to stay silent on the matter.

Additionally, Kim Sae Ron made headlines in 2022 after being caught driving under the influence. She caused an accident in Seoul, damaging multiple properties and causing power outages in the area. Her blood alcohol level was far above the legal limit, and she was later fined 20 million KRW for the incident.

Because of this, Kim Sae Ron was blacklisted from the entertainment industry. However, she has since filmed her new movie Guitar Man and is working on making a comeback. Despite the ongoing controversies, fans are wondering whether this will be her chance to bounce back or if the latest scandal will end her career.
