The Story of the Actress's Upside Down, Formerly Busy Filming Now Admits to Working Part-Time because it is Difficult to Find a Job

Dream - Human life is always like a spinning wheel. The proverb that is often heard can also describe the life of South Korean actress Kim Sae Ron. The career that has been built since childhood 'collapsed' in one day because Kim was caught driving under the influence of alcohol or driving under influence (DUI).

On May 15, 2022 at 08.00 South Korean time, Kim Sae Ron crashed into a tree and a fence in the Cheongdam area, Gangnam. The collision damaged the transformer, causing the electricity supply for 57 businesses to be interrupted for three hours.

In the first trial on Wednesday, March 8, 2023, the Public Prosecutor's Office (JPU) demanded a fine of 20 million won or around IDR 234 million.

Because of this case, the woman who made her debut in the entertainment world at the age of 9 left her agency, Gold Medalist. The Hi! School: Love On drama player apologized and regretted her actions. 

"I have stopped consuming alcohol and selling vehicles," said Kim Sae-ron quoted from Naver.

Interestingly, 22-year-old Kim Sae decided to change course by working part-time at a cafe. "I spend my time working part-time," she said.

Not long ago, Kim Sae Ron proved her statement by uploading an Instagram story showing her activities while working at the cafe.

She wore an apron from Mega Coffee with the atmosphere of work, even though she didn't actually say she was at Mega Coffee.

The Backbone of the Family

The actress who starred in the Korean drama (Drakor) Fashion King was previously the backbone of the family. But now she is having difficulty finding income.

"I am the backbone of my family, but it is very difficult for me to find income. Please forgive me," she said.

However, Mega Coffee's side responded to Kim Sae Ron's post with a surprising statement. They claimed to have never had an employee named Kim Sae Ron.

"We can confirm that Kim Sae Ron has never worked as an official part-time employee at any store. The store owner at this location has a part-time employee who is friends with Kim Sae Ron. However, the owner said that Kim Sae Ron herself has never worked as an employee there," said Mega Coffee quoted from Korea Boo.

Questionable Part-Time Work

"The former part-time worker who is friends with Kim Sae Ron has quit that location in September 2022. We don't know how she managed to take this photo so we are trying to find out specifically," he continued.

Kim Sae Ron's three posts also show her in the cafe kitchen, but Mega Coffee claims that the kitchen was not taken from their store.

"The photo of the dark kitchen was also not taken from our store. Our store has a separate baking area," said Mega Coffee.

In addition, netizens commented that Kim Sae Ron was just pretending, as she could still afford to hire a lawyer and six bodyguards.

"What kind of concept is this. She uses six bodyguards but claims to have economic difficulties," wrote netizens.

"Her lawyer is doing well," commented a netizen.

"She's really pretending. Sell your house and car before saying you're having difficulties," wrote another netizen.

Kim Sae Ron herself has starred in many dramas and films, with one of her prestigious awards being Best New Actress at the 2014 Blue Dragon Film Awards for her role in the film A Girl at My Door.
