Kim Sae-ron, the 24-year-old South Korean actress known for her role in Netflix’s Bloodhounds, has been found dead in Seoul. Authorities discovered her body on February 16 in the Seongsu-dong district after a friend called emergency services. Police have stated that no evidence of foul play has been found, but an investigation into her death is ongoing.
Kim gained international recognition for her breakout role in A Brand New Life (2009) and later starred in The Man From Nowhere and several popular Korean dramas. She became the youngest actor invited to Cannes for an award and built a strong fan base through her performances.
However, in 2022, her career faced a major setback after she was fined for driving under the influence in Seoul’s Gangnam District. As a result, her role in Bloodhounds was significantly reduced. Fans online have expressed sadness over her passing, with many reflecting on the difficulties she faced in recent years.
Tributes have poured in across social media, with fans mourning her untimely death and questioning whether public scrutiny played a role in her struggles. The entertainment industry has yet to release an official statement, but the news has deeply affected those who followed her career.
