South Korean actress Kim Sae-ron, 24, was found lifeless in her Seoul apartment on February 16. Authorities confirmed her passing as a suicide, stating, “We believe she made an extreme choice and plan to handle it as a suicide.” Police found no signs of foul play or a break-in.

Kim’s death has deeply affected the South Korean entertainment industry. Many celebrities, including actor Won Bin, who co-starred with her in “The Man from Nowhere,” paid their respects. Singer IU, actor Gong Myung, and members of the band FT Island sent wreaths in her memory. Her funeral is set for February 19 and will be held privately at her family’s request.

Born in 2000, Kim gained fame as a child actress with roles in “A Brand New Life” and “The Man from Nowhere.” She later starred in “The Queen’s Classroom” and Netflix’s “Bloodhounds.” Despite her successful career, she faced controversy in 2022 due to a drunk driving incident that led to public backlash.
