Singer Mikyo mourned the late Kim Sae-ron, who sadly passed away.

On the 16th, Mikyo posted on her Instagram story, “Only when a person dies do the haters stop,” adding, “They probably don’t even realize they are leaving hateful comments.”

She continued, “The media and broadcasting are the same. They sensationalize articles to attract attention and create issues, and when a person dies, they act as if they had nothing to do with it, pretending to be virtuous.”

Mikyo also stated, “It’s not a big deal to kill a person. It’s only the deceased who are unfortunate,” and expressed her condolences by saying, “May the soul of the deceased rest in peace.”

The Seoul Seongdong Police Station reported that they received a call at 4:54 PM on the 16th regarding Kim Sae-ron being found dead at her home. The caller was confirmed to be an acquaintance who had an appointment to meet Kim Sae-ron. The police transported Kim Sae-ron to the hospital, but she was pronounced dead, and it was reported that she was already in cardiac arrest when found.

Kim Sae-ron debuted as a model in the magazine 'Anfang' in 2001 and began her acting career with the film 'Traveler' in 2009, gaining public recognition through the movie 'The Man from Nowhere' in 2010. She continued to appear in various works such as 'The Neighbors', 'Manhole', 'Dohee-ya', 'Snowy Road', and 'Neighborhood People'.

While actively continuing her acting and entertainment career, Kim Sae-ron came under scrutiny due to a drunk driving incident in 2022. Afterward, she aimed for a comeback as an actress through the play 'Dongchimi' after two years, but faced difficulties due to strong negative public opinion. Her last work was the film 'Guitar Man', which she completed filming last year. It is also reported that Kim Sae-ron recently changed her name, hoping for a fresh start, which adds to the tragedy.
