The Seongdong Police Station in Seoul reported that they received a call at 4:54 PM on the 16th, confirming the death of Kim Sae-ron at her home. She was 25 years old.
Kim Sae-ron debuted as a baby model in the magazine "Anfang" in 2001 and began her acting career with the film "Traveler" in 2009. She gained recognition for her role in the film "The Man from Nowhere" alongside actor Won Bin in 2010 and appeared in several works, including "Neighbor," "Manhole," "Dohee-ya," "Snow Road," and "Neighborhood People."
While actively working, Kim Sae-ron faced a crisis in 2022 due to a drunk driving incident. Afterward, she aimed for a comeback as an actress through the play "Dongchimi" after two years, but faced difficulties due to negative public opinion. The film "Guitar Man," which she finished filming last year, became her last work.
