The first trial of Kim Sae Ron, who was charged with breaking the Road Traffic Act and was indicted, was heard by the Seoul Central District Court on March 8th (drunk driving). According to Kim Sae Ron’s attorney, “The defendant is presently supporting her family as the eldest daughter, and her family is also having financial troubles after paying a significant sum in damages compensation.”
Kim Sae Ron was ordered to pay a fine of 20 million won by the prosecution because she “tried to flee without taking any steps after driving under the influence with a blood alcohol level of 0.2%.” The last statement from Kim Sae Ron was, “This will never happen again. I really apologize, and I will think about myself.
When questioned about her current situation following the trial, Kim Sae Ron responded, “I’m working part-time.”
Kim Sae Ron spoke about her financial struggles during the first trial, although an attorney from one of the “Top 10 legal firms in Korea” was standing behind her.
On March 9th, the New Daily reported that Kim Sae Ron had hired two law companies to represent her, one of which is a sizable firm that is in the Top 10 law firms in Korea.
Kim Sae Ron’s case was taken up by predecessor attorney A, who serves as both the firm’s representative and a former chief prosecutor.
Lawyers who previously held important positions in the prosecution or courts are known for charging fees that are far greater than those of regular attorneys.
This is a very different circumstance from the one where Kim Sae Ron begged for forgiveness, claiming that she is having trouble making ends meet after paying a sizable amount in damages compensation.

The sale price of this apartment was 2.3 billion won at the time. She also sat in a high-end vehicle worth 50 million won.

Internet users find it impossible to accept that Kim Sae Ron is having financial problems as a result of the tragedy.
What do you mean by hardships of life? and “Most regular people find it difficult to hire a lawyer,” were questions raised by internet users. How much does it cost to hire a lawyer like that?, “Celebrities don’t seem to understand what ‘hardships of life’ are…

Knetizens Reactions:
1. Tried to appeal to the courts with her financial hardship while hiring expensive lawyers… Should’ve spent this lawyer fee on hiring a taxi to take you home that drunken night.
2. Doesn’t sound like she’s suffering too much when she drives a luxury car, lives in a luxury apartment, and is still throwing drunken parties.
3. You can already tell she hasn’t reflected even an ounce over her actions with the fake concept she made for her court day appearance with the shabby clothes and the loosely tired hair.
4. Where did she learn this evil tactic of lying to appeal to people’s emotions? First she tried to drum up sympathy for a comeback by saying she was working part-time and now all this nonsense about financial hardships. Does she know the meaning of that word? Just stay home, man.
5. She was on TV showing off her 2 billion won apartment and now she’s whining about financial hardships?? While driving a Land Rover Defender? Where’d all that easy money you made off of Won Bin’s name all this time?? Now it’s time for you to go back and get a real job and make your money honestly.
