Sun Feb 16 18:12:12 UTC 2025: ## Acclaimed South Korean Actress Kim Sae-ron Found Dead at 24

**SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA** – South Korean actress Kim Sae-ron, known for her prolific career starting at the age of nine and her roles in acclaimed films such as “A Brand New Life” and “The Man From Nowhere,” was found dead at her home in Seoul on Sunday. She was 24.

A friend discovered her body after Kim missed a scheduled meeting, according to reports. Authorities have launched an investigation but have stated there are no apparent signs of foul play.

Kim’s career spanned more than a decade, earning her international recognition at the Cannes Film Festival for her early work. She transitioned successfully from child roles to more mature characters in films like “The Neighbor” and “A Girl at My Door,” and television series including “The Queen’s Classroom” and “Hi! School-Love On.” Her recent credits included the 2018 film “The Villagers.”

In 2022, Kim was involved in a drunk driving incident, resulting in property damage and a substantial fine. The incident led to a hiatus from acting, and while she was slated to return to several projects, including the Netflix series “Bloodhounds,” her participation was significantly reduced or ultimately withdrawn.

Kim’s death is a significant loss to the South Korean entertainment industry, leaving behind a legacy of compelling performances and a career cut tragically short. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death is ongoing.
