South Korean star Kim Sae-ron, known for her role in the Netflix show Bloodhounds, has tragically been found dead at her home at the age of 24. The actress was discovered by a friend who alerted the police on Sunday. While the authorities are investigating her untimely death, they do not suspect any foul play.
Kim Sae-ron began her acting career at just nine years old and quickly rose to fame with roles in the 2009 film A Brand New Life and 2010’s The Man From Nowhere. She continued to secure leading roles in the 2014 film A Girl At My Door and 2011 TV drama series Listen To My Heart. In 2016, she landed her first adult lead role in the TV drama Secret Healer and signed with YG Entertainment.
After starring in the 2018 thriller The Villagers and web drama Love Playlist, she left YG Entertainment to join Gold Medalist alongside actors Kim Soo-hyun and Seo Yea-ji in 2020. In 2021, Kim Sae-ron played the lead female role in a 12-episode web series called The Great Shaman Ga Doo-shim before being cast in the SBS drama Trolley.
Unfortunately, she had to leave the project just months later following a DUI incident and subsequent drunk driving charges, reports the Mirror. At the time her agency issued a statement following her driving mishap, saying, “Kim Sae-ron is deeply reflecting on her apparent mistake. The damage caused by the crash is being compensated as much as possible. I will do my best to take responsibility until the end.”
The star later took to Instagram with a handwritten apology, sharing, “First, I am sorry to inform you of the position after arranging the accident and damage situation. Yesterday May 18, 2022 around 8 am in Gangnam, I had an accident that damaged public property. I made a big mistake while drinking.”
“I caused damage to so many people, including merchants, citizens, and those who restored it. I should have acted more carefully and responsibly, but I couldn’t. I sincerely apologize.”
“We are working out the damage caused by the accident together with the company. I will do my best to communicate and actively resolve the matter until the end. I am very sorry to my fellow actors and staff as well as the production team for disrupting the production of the work that was being filmed and prepared.”
“Once again, we deeply apologize and apologize for causing concern. There is no excuse for this unfortunate incident. I am disappointed and very ashamed of the mistakes I have made.”
Despite her sincere contrition, she was ordered to pay a hefty ₩20 million fine (around £11,000) by Seoul Central District Court in 2023. However, she later asked for leniency due to financial difficulties.
