When Kim Sae Ron passed away, some Koreans voiced concern for the late actress’s known best friends in the entertainment business—including AKMU‘s Lee Suhyun.
Actress Kim Sae Ron Found Dead At Age 24
The two were believed to have grown close during their time under YG Entertainment. Since late 2010, Lee Suhyun and Kim Sae Ron have always been together. In a 2021 JTBC program, Lee Suhyun showed off her decade-long friendship with Kim Sae Ron and actress Kim Bo Ra, noting the three were close enough to share the codes to one another’s houses.
Weeks after her best friend’s passing, Lee Suhyun has broken her silence in response to a heartfelt post by her Begin Again co-star, Hareem.
Hareem wrote that he had a dream about Lee Suhyun and that it made him worried about her amid “the most unfortunate thing that happened recently”—seemingly about the loss of her best friend. Wishing he could “protect her,” Hareem wished the idol well.
Suhyun was in my dream. We were somewhere with a great view of the city. We talked and talked. I figured that was because I was worried about her over the most unfortunate thing that happened recently. I want to know if she’s doing all right, but I don’t know how I should reach out to her.
And I guess we were somewhere with a view because of our memories from Begin Again. Thanks to the dream, I thought about each and every one of the friends I made on that show. Quite a bit of time has passed since. Someone from the group stopped making music and left for abroad, while another went through significant changes, like switching agencies. It all reminded me how time keeps going.
Just like how fish swim without thinking about the river, it’s difficult for us to think about what’s happening around us when we’re in the midst of time. But it seems time and longing evolve together as one.
I wish that our longing desires to see someone again could protect the ones we miss.
— Hareem
Under the post, Lee Suhyun acknowledged the cast of Begin Again and the time they spent together are precious memories that she’s holding onto…
…and assured Hareem that she is OK; For his genuine friendship is protecting her, just as he wished.
My most precious memories and people… You don’t have to tell me, I already know. But thank you for telling me anyway. Please know that your longing to see me is most definitely protecting me well.
— Lee Suhyun
