Regardless, Kim Sae Ron’s Instagram is now being flooded with hate comments from Queen of Tears viewers…

• “What is your problem… Like, seriously? Why go ruin the hard work of other people?”
• “I LIVE to watch ‘Queen of Tears’ these days. It is my only form of stress relief from my studies. How dare you ruin it for me, though? Why couldn’t you wait until the show was over? You had to drop it in the middle of my absolute favorite show airing? Now I can’t get myself to focus anymore… You’re crazy.”
• “We don’t really care about who you date, but we don’t want you back in the entertainment industry. Based on all that you’ve done, we see very clearly what kind of a person you are.”

…who believe Kim Sae Ron is “sabotaging” the K-Drama and the male lead.

The actress’s most recent photo is seeing a spike in comments calling her an “attention seeker,” while most of the other photos on her feed are also receiving malicious spam.

Kim Sae Ron has neither responded to the backlash nor shared an official statement about her accidental upload.
