Tragic Loss of South Korean Actress Kim Sae-ron at 24
South Korean actress Kim Sae-ron, known for her roles in films such as The Man from Nowhere and the Netflix series Bloodhounds, was found dead at her home in Seoul on Sunday, 16 February 2025. She was 24 years old. According to police officials, a friend who had planned to meet her discovered her body and alerted authorities. Initial investigations revealed no signs of foul play, but the cause of death remains under investigation.
Kim, who began her acting career at the age of 9, rose to prominence with her breakout role in the 2009 film A Brand New Life. She later gained widespread recognition for her performances in The Man from Nowhere (2010) and A Girl at My Door (2014), the latter of which screened at the Cannes Film Festival. Her most recent work was the 2023 Netflix action series Bloodhounds.
However, her career faced a significant setback in 2022 after she was involved in a drink-driving incident. The crash, which damaged a roadside electrical transformer box, led to public backlash and her withdrawal from the drama series Trolley. Kim publicly apologised for the incident, expressing deep regret and vowing to reflect on her actions. Despite attempts to return to acting, she reportedly stepped away again due to health issues.
Kim’s death has shocked fans and the entertainment industry, as she was regarded as one of South Korea’s most promising young actresses. Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding her passing.
