Kim Sae-rom confessed that she was abused by a male broadcaster, Mr. A, when she was 21 years old.
On the YouTube channel 'A-Class Jang Young-ran', which was released on the 27th, a video titled "Kim Sae-rom's apartment in Cheongdam-dong, who lives alone, is revealed for the first time (behind the scenes in the entertainment industry, celebrity personality)" was uploaded. Kim Sae-rom said, “This is my first time talking about this on TV,” and shared an anecdote about being abused by power when she was 21 years old.
He said, "I did a program with my senior. It was a program that had to maintain a friendly atmosphere in the venue." Kim Sae-rom said, "The senior next to me kept turning to the audience and saying, 'Don't you think he's so stupid? Even if I say something stupid, he just laughs.' Then I said, 'Why are you doing this, senior?' and laughed. But the senior said, 'Look at this, laugh.' Hey, is this funny? Everyone, is this funny?' “He mocked me like this,” he said.
Kim Sae-rom explained, "I held back at first. After all, he was a senior. He kept smiling and then he said, 'Did you see him smiling again? Like an idiot.'" He said, "At that time, it had been two years since I debuted. If this was a broadcast, I thought, 'I can stop doing this.' The broadcast was for 10 episodes, and I had a contract, so I thought I had to do it all." He confessed, "Tears were falling while filming. I shed tears occasionally, but I pulled myself together and finished the broadcast."
The anecdote that followed shocked those who heard it. Kim Sae-rom said, "After the broadcast, in the lobby where 100 audience members were pouring in, the senior said, 'Come here, where did you learn broadcasting? Do you know 'Odoshi' (funny point in broadcasting slang)?' “This is the first time I’ve heard the term ‘Odoshi.’ I said, ‘I don’t know, just explain it to me and I will correct it.’ He said, ‘Where are you talking about this?’” he revealed.
Kim Sae-rom said that through the mediation of her manager, she went up to the rooftop with Gapjil senior. He said, "I was so shocked that I was shaking. The senior on the rooftop got angry and said, 'I don't know where you learned that broadcasting from.' So I said, 'Senior, please tell me in more detail and I will correct it.' He said, 'You're talking back to the end,' and even tried to stab him with his hand. “I lost my mind there and screamed like a crazy person on that rooftop.”
Kim Sae-rom explained, "After that incident, when I went to the broadcast set, people asked, 'What happened to you with that older brother?' It turned out that the senior was cursing at me too much." He explained, "The bottom line is, that senior. “There were 9 episodes left of the broadcast I did with this guy, but I finished 1 episode and did the rest by myself,” he said about the ending.
