Following the shocking incident on March 11, Garo Sero Institute quickly held a second live broadcast at 7 p.m. (local time) on March 12. The livestream, surprisingly titled “I Love You, Kim Sae Ron (Letter from Private First Class Kim Soo Hyun)”, immediately attracted the attention of the public and the media.

Before the broadcast, Garo Sero “teased” by changing the video’s thumbnail to a photo of Kim Soo Hyun affectionately kissing Kim Sae Ron on the cheek. This image immediately created a wave of controversy, as it seemed to be undeniable evidence of a romantic relationship between the two famous stars.
