**SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA** – South Korean actress Kim Sae-ron, known for her roles in films like *A Brand New Day* and *The Man From Nowhere*, and her recent appearance in the Netflix series *Bloodhounds*, has been found dead at the age of 24. Police confirmed the discovery of her body at her Seoul home, reporting that a friend found her after she missed a scheduled meeting. While the cause of death is yet to be determined, authorities have stated that foul play is not suspected.
Kim’s career began at the tender age of nine, quickly propelling her to stardom. Her early success included critical acclaim and awards for her performance in *A Brand New Day*, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. She further cemented her status as a rising talent with her role in the blockbuster *The Man From Nowhere*. Despite continued success with roles in films like *A Girl at My Door*, her career suffered a setback following a highly publicized DUI arrest in 2022, resulting in financial difficulties and a hiatus from acting. While she appeared in *Bloodhounds*, her scenes were largely cut, and she subsequently lost other acting opportunities. At the time of her death, Kim was preparing for the release of the film *Guitarman* and planning to open a cafe. Friends expressed shock and disbelief at her passing, describing her determination to revive her acting career.
