**SEOUL, South Korea (February 17, 2025)** – Kim Sae-ron, a celebrated South Korean actress known for her role in the film *The Man from Nowhere*, was found dead at her Seoul home on Sunday, police confirmed. She was 24 years old.
While police have not released an official cause of death, a police official stated that authorities believe Kim took her own life. A friend discovered her body Sunday evening and reported it to police. No note was found at the scene, according to Yonhap news agency. There are no signs of foul play.
Kim’s career, which began with critical acclaim and several awards, including Best New Actress at the Korean Film Awards, was significantly impacted by a drunk-driving incident in 2022. Following the incident and subsequent public backlash, she struggled to secure new roles. While she appeared in the 2023 Netflix series *Bloodhounds*, much of her performance was reportedly edited out. Her death is a tragic end to a promising career cut short.
