After the drunk driving controversy, actor Kim Sae-ron, who had been self-reflecting, was caught on the set of the movie, and the controversy reignited.

Recently, Kim Sae-ron's filming at Tapgol Park in Jongno-gu, Seoul has spread rapidly through SNS and online communities. In the picture, Kim Sae-ron matched a white dress with a jean vest and smiled brightly with long hair hanging down, creating a free atmosphere. The sighting of Kim Saeron's return scene is drawing attention for the first time in about three years since the last 2021 'They'.

However, Kim Sae-ron stopped his activities in 2022 under social criticism for a drunk driving accident. At that time, he crashed into a roadside while driving at Hakdong Intersection in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, damaging guardrails, street trees, and commercial transformers. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but property damage such as the suspension of business of the shopping mall occurred.



Kim Sae-ron refused to take a breathalyzer test and demanded blood collection, and the test showed a blood alcohol level of 0.2%, far exceeding the criteria for revocation of the license. After that, he was fined 20 million won and had a period of self-reflection. The incident also led to a large amount of editing of Kim Sae-ron in the Netflix series 'Hunt Dogs'.

Meanwhile, earlier this year, Kim Sae-ron attempted to return through the play 'Dongchimi', but eventually voluntarily dropped out in the face of criticism. Attention is focusing on whether Kim Sae-ron, who reappeared on the film scene after half a year, will be able to continue his return amid public evaluation.
