Actors Seo Yea Ji and Seo Ha Jun also posted flowers to pay tribute to Kim Sae Ron on their Instagram stories.
Singer Migyo also left a message on her Instagram mourning her passing.
“Only when a person dies do the malicious commenters stop. I don’t think malicious commenters even know they are writing malicious comments.
The media and broadcasts are the same. They troll with the issues they find and post provocative articles. But after someone dies, they act like they weren’t a part of it. It’s disgusting. It takes nothing to try and kill a person. Only the dead are unfortunate. May the deceased rest in peace.”
