The body of 24-year-old popular actress Kim Sae-ron was discovered in her residence in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, on Sunday (February 16, 2025). A close friend of hers, who had planned to meet her, entered the residence and saw the body and quickly notified the police. So far, the police have not said that any criminal activity has been found in the death, but an investigation is ongoing to determine the exact cause of death.
The beginnings of talent and the rise of a career
Kim Sae-ron started acting at the age of 9 and gained international recognition at a very young age, starring in numerous films including “A Brand New Life” and “The Man from Nowhere.” Her outstanding acting skills and excellent performances have made her one of the most talented South Korean actresses. She was in the media spotlight from a young age, and her bright start to her acting career showed that she had the potential to take her to even bigger stages in the future.
Shadow of the accident and withdrawal from the public
Kim Sae-ron's career took a serious hit after a DUI (driving under the influence) accident in May 2022. In the incident, her car collided with an electrical transformer box, causing extensive damage and causing her to be embroiled in a public scandal, including a financial fine. The incident left her somewhat isolated from the media spotlight and had a profound impact on her personal life. She has since then begun to hide from the public eye.
Stuck career re-attempts and health-related obstacles
Although Kim Sae-ron attempted to return to acting after the DUI accident, her most recent work was in the Netflix series “Bloodhounds” in 2023, she was forced to withdraw from acting again due to health issues. This career ups and downs cast an uncertain shadow over her life.
