Given the official authorities found a two-page note, many netizens speculated he might have taken his own life.
Amidst the grief in the K-entertainment fandom, a recent reunion post of Song Jae Rim with his co-star Kim So Eun has surfaced online, making many believe she is his wife.
However, as per reports, they were just friends and shared romantic chemistry on-screen only.
Fans always shipped Song Jae Rim with his co-star Kim So Eun as a couple!
Back in 2014, Song Jae Rim and Kim So Eun appeared in the South Korean reality variety show We Got Married.
The on-screen chemistry between them was phenomenal, so they quickly became the center of attention and fan favorites during the show’s airing.
Later, Song Jae Rim and Kim So Eun even won the title of Best Couple at the MBC Entertainment Awards 2014.
Even after their on-screen chemistry, which was over the roof, their friendship continued behind the curtain. Many believed Song Jae Rim might have married Kim So Eun as fans often spotted her supporting the actor’s career every now and then.
Just a few months prior, Kim So Eun attended Song Jae Rim’s musical play and later shared a picture with him on her Instagram account, where she boasts over 847k followers.
So, it makes sense why those fans who loved Song Jae Rim and Kim So Eun in the 2014 show and kept shipping together thought they were husband and wife.
However, they never married and only shared a great deal of friendship and supported each other.
Besides her, there are no reports of Song Jae Rim dating anyone as he kept his personal lives strictly private.
Kim So Eun has yet to make a statement following her co-star’s untimely demise. Meanwhile, Song Jae Rim’s family announced they are holding a small funeral on November 14 with family members only.
