Popular South Korean actress Kim Sae-ron died by suicide, police confirmed on Monday. She was 24. The Netflix star, best known for her role in the 2023 hit series Bloodhounds, was found dead at her home in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, on Sunday around 4:50 p.m. local time. A friend who had planned to meet her made the tragic discovery.

KIm, who began her career at the age of 9, gained popularity for her performances in the 2010 action film “The Man from Nowhere” and the 2012 thriller “The Neighbor.” She was one of South Korea’s most promising actresses, but her career suffered a setback following a drunk driving incident in 2022.

“We believe she made an extreme choice and plan to handle it as a suicide,” officials told reporters, via local Yonhap news agency. Authorities said that the actress did not leave a suicide note.

On Sunday, police said that they did not find any “evidence of foul play” and confirmed that the investigation into her death remains ongoing.

Kim landed her first adult role in the 2016 TV drama “Secret Healer” and also starred in the 2018 thriller “The Villagers.” Her last appearance was in the Korean drama series “Bloodhounds,” which premiered on Netflix in 2023.

However, in May 2022, she was involved in a drunk driving incident and was fined $13,000 by the court nearly a year later in April.

Following the controversy surrounding her conviction, her role in “Bloodhounds” was significantly reduced.

At the time, Kim said in a post that she was “deeply sorry” and apologized to the production team. She wrote: “I had an accident yesterday on May 18, around 8 am in Gangnam, I made a big mistake by being drunk at that time.

“I am also very sorry to the production crew, including fellow actors and staff, for interrupting the production of the work that is being shot and the work that was being prepared.

“Once again, I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience. There is no excuse for this unfortunate incident and I am disappointed and so ashamed of my mistake. I will reflect and reflect again and again so that this never happens again. I’m sorry.”

Tributes Pour In

She tried to make a comeback in acting last year but later withdrew due to health concerns, according to Yonhap. Kim’s body was found at around 4:50 p.m. local time, as reported by the Korea Herald.

“We have not found any signs of foul play as of yet, but we are investigating the circumstances of the death,” police told the outlet.

Throughout her career, she won multiple awards and was honored as “Best New Actress” at various Korean arts awards ceremonies, according to her IMDb profile.

“I am still in denial, wishing it was all just a bad dream. Rest in Peace, Kim Sae-ron,” another fan wrote.

A third fan wrote on X: “Rest in peace to one of my favorite artists of all time.”
