Lee Jin Ho, a YouTube personality, had posted several videos discussing Bloodhounds actress Kim Sae Ron, focusing on her controversies, including a DUI incident and since-deleted Instagram photos with a man captioned "Marry."

Kim Sae Ron's father considered the actions "absolutely unforgivable" and said that "they didn’t just ruin Sae Ron’s life; they shattered an entire family."
As per him, Lee Jin Ho twisted narratives to conceal his "vile intentions" of spreading "false claims" about the actress "visiting the ossuary and opening the urn, and rumors that our family squandered the money she earned." He expressed their distress, stating that YouTuber Lee Jin Ho, cyberwreckers, and the media's indiscriminate reporting caused their family immense suffering. The family emphasized that these rumors led to secondary harm, with Kim Sae Ron's two younger sisters being "branded unfairly."
Their father urged for legal action against Lee Jin Ho and others responsible for formulating and spreading malicious content regarding them. He even considered calling him up and cursing at him but stopped himself from doing so, considering the repercussions his impulsive act might have had. So, according to him, law was the best way to deal with the unwanted situation. In a poignant admission, Kim Sae Ron's father expressed his overwhelming emotions, stating, "I feel so wronged, angry, and devastated." He then stated resolutely, "Fortunately, there are people supporting me, and a law firm is currently gathering evidence” against the late actress' online slanderers.
