Sarah's Secret: Identity Fraud and a Fabricated Luxury Brand

The Netflix series "The Art of Sarah" recently concluded, revealing the complex web of deception surrounding executive Sarah Kim. The investigation, led by Detective Park Mu-gyeong, initially focused on a homicide but evolved into an examination of constructed identities and hidden ambitions.

The woman accused of murdering Sarah Kim, who operated under various names including Mok Ga-hui, Kim Eun-jae, and Sarah Kim, was ultimately sentenced to ten years. Court records identified her as Kim Mi-jeong, the craft specialist behind the Boudoir handbag line. She had attempted to assume the real Sarah Kim's identity.

Boudoir was not an established brand but a fabricated enterprise. The central figure, after a kidney transplant, collaborated with Mi-jeong to create high-grade counterfeit bags, marketed as rare imports to affluent buyers.

Years prior, under the alias Ga-hui, she faced significant debt after a theft at a department store. Following a staged suicide attempt, she conceived the Boudoir concept, using a farewell message for promotion. Later, as Eun-jae, she married a wealthy creditor for financial support and access to elite networks.

While the case has reached legal closure, ambiguities persist. The convicted individual's true origin remains unverified, leaving lingering questions about her past and the extent of her elaborate fabrication. The Boudoir brand's control was transferred to Jeong Yeo-jin.
