Actor Yoon Shi Yoon’s past message about the late Kim Sae Ron has resurfaced, bringing warmth and emotion to many fans.
Back in 2016, Yoon Shi Yoon and Kim Sae Ron starred together in JTBC’s Mirror of the Witch. At the time, Yoon Shi Yoon had just completed his military service at 29, while Kim Sae Ron was only 15.
Despite their age gap, their chemistry made the drama a success, thanks to Yoon Shi Yoon’s youthful looks and Kim Sae Ron’s incredible acting skills.
Following the drama’s final episode on July 16, 2016, Yoon Shi Yoon posted a heartfelt message on his fan cafe titled "Just One Request!", defending and praising his young co-star.
He wrote, “When people mocked me for my age and trampled on my pride, there was one thing that brought tears to my eyes. How could I have ever imagined meeting this girl—14 years younger than me, as pretty as a doll, and a genius actress who cries more beautifully than anyone?”

He continued, “Just one person—just one. I always wondered what kind of project I would take on after returning and who my co-star would be. How could someone as insignificant as me be paired with someone like her? It was nothing short of a miracle, and I’m so grateful for it.”
Yoon Shi Yoon also reflected on their last scene together, saying, “When we filmed our final cut two days ago, everything passed by like a panorama. Now, my time acting alongside her has come to an end. This miracle called ‘fate’ is so immense that it humbles me. Fate comes unexpectedly, and accepting it brings happiness.”
Most touchingly, he made a sincere request to his fans: “Our little one, who is 14 years younger than me, will now be difficult to meet again in another project. Could you leave a simple comment saying, ‘Kim Sae Ron was the best’ on her articles?"
He added, "It breaks my heart to see malicious comments being left by bad people. I’m going to leave one now. Let’s all go write a word of encouragement!”
Even after all these years, Yoon Shi Yoon’s words continue to be remembered, offering comfort to those mourning the tragic loss of Kim Sae Ron.
