Actress Kim Sae-ron made a mistake even if she made a mistake. If a generous wife was really desperate, ‘appealing for the hardships of life’ is an obvious handshake. The choice to take his sentence lightly, even a little bit, is blowing against the young people as “deceit”.
On the 11th, in online communities and other places, Kim Sae-ron’s SNS posts became a hot topic among netizens. It was a problem that she released only 3 photos, of her part-time job at a cafe.
Kim Sae-ron caused a drunk driving accident. In May of last year, Sae-ron Kim, who got behind the wheel after drinking alcohol in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, crashed into structures on the road, such as transformers and guardrails. At that time, his blood alcohol level was 0.227%, which was three times the level of license revocation.
Kim Sae-ron admitted her mistake, saying, “There is no room for excuses.” However, it is known that she sent invitations to a drinking birthday party with her acquaintances during self-restraint, and the sincerity of her reflection was damaged.
In the first hearing of the recent drunk driving charge, he talked about the hardships of life. The point was that “please take into account the economic hardship caused by the payment of the enormous damages.” The interpretation that the public intention of the part-time job photos on this day is also in line with the appeal of life is dominant.
To Kim Sae-ron, who started seeking sympathy votes, the public sent a cold response. In particular, the mention of poverty to justify leniency sparked resentment among young people. Some argue that poverty, which someone desperately wants to end, is just a means of mercy for Kim Sae-ron.
There is also the point of ‘stolen poverty’. ‘Stolen Poverty’, which is also the title of author Park Wan-seo’s novel, points out how a rich young man steals the poverty of the poor and turns it into an episode that will make his life more colorful.
Kim Sae-ron looks just like that. This is why the public opinion that ‘I am experiencing hardships while working part-time like this’ sounds like saying that I will atone for the hardships of life.
However, the hardships of life are not pretty accessories for criminals. While Kim Sae-ron talks about life’s hardships and thinks of a better solution, young people Kim Sae-ron’s age who are experiencing ‘real life’s hardships’ are working without time to post pictures of themselves on social media to earn tuition or living expenses.
It would be a mistake to think that the 20 million won fine requested by the prosecution was all that was imposed on him. If he had known that even the hardships of life were included in the punishment, no photos would have been posted on his social media today.
His plea for hardships in life may work in court. However, if anyone is thinking of returning, it seems that it has become more difficult to turn the public’s mind.
