Netflix star Kim Sae-ron has tragically passed away at the age of 24, leaving fans and friends in shock. The Bloodhounds star was found by a friend who immediately contacted the authorities on Sunday. While her untimely death is currently under investigation, police have indicated that they do not suspect foul play, reports the Mirror. The young actress had previously taken centre stage in the 12-episode web series The Great Shaman Ga Doo-shim back in 2021, and was later cast in the SBS drama Trolley. However, her journey with the project was cut short after she was involved in a DUI incident, leading to drunk driving charges. Her agency issued a statement at the time, expressing her remorse: “Kim Sae-ron is deeply reflecting on her apparent mistake. The damage caused by the crash is being compensated as much as possible. I will do my best to take responsibility until the end.”

Kim Sae-Ron apologised for her DUI
Kim Sae-ron turned to her Instagram to extend a personal apology with a handwritten note, saying: “First, I am sorry to inform you of the position after arranging the accident and damage situation. Yesterday May 18, 2022 around 8am in Gangnam, I had an accident that damaged public property. I made a big mistake while drinking.” She continued, “I caused damage to so many people, including merchants, citizens, and those who restored it. I should have acted more carefully and responsibly, but I couldn’t. I sincerely apologise. She continued: “We are working out the damage caused by the accident together with the company. I will do my best to communicate and actively resolve the matter until the end. I am very sorry to my fellow actors and staff as well as the production team for disrupting the production of the work that was being filmed and prepared.” “Once again, we deeply apologise and apologise for causing concern. There is no excuse for this unfortunate incident. I am disappointed and very ashamed of the mistakes I have made.” The Seoul Central District Court imposed a fine of ₩20 million (approximately £11,000) on her in 2023. However, she later asked for leniency due to financial difficulties. The seasoned actress has sparkled on screen since the age of nine, first earning acclaim as a child star in the runaway hits A Brand New Life (2009) and The Man From Nowhere (2010). Her success soared with headline roles, such as her standout performances in A Girl At My Door (2014) and the heart-wrenching TV drama Listen To My Heart (2011). Kim secured her inaugural adult starring role in Secret Healer (2016), coinciding with her signing with industry giant YG Entertainment. She gripped audiences with her role in the suspense-filled The Villagers (2018) and captivated fans in the campus-based web series Love Playlist. She landed her first adult lead role in the 2016 TV drama Secret Healer, the same year she signed with YG Entertainment. After starring in the 2018 thriller The Villagers and the campus web drama Love Playlist, she left YG Entertainment and joined Gold Medalist alongside actors Kim Soo-hyun and Seo Yea-ji in 2020.
