 'Drunk driving and life-threatening crime'Kim Sae-ron returns to a low-budget movie'Acting with a Bright Face'



Actor Kim Sae-ron, who caused a stir over a drunk driving accident, will return.

According to a media outlet on the 21st, Kim Sae-ron filmed a low-budget music film directed by Shin Jae-ho at Tapgol Park in Jongno-gu, Seoul. He shot with a bright face with long straight hair hanging down and wearing a white dress.

An official of the work also acknowledged Kim Sae-ron's appearance.



Kim Sae-ron made his official debut in the 2009 film 『Traveler』 and appeared in 『Mr.』 and became the youngest child to win the Best New Actress Award at home and abroad for his unrivalled acting skills.

But in May 2022, all careers collapsed. Kim Sae-ron ran away without taking any action after hitting guardrails, street trees, and transformers while driving under the influence near Hakdong Intersection in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.



Kim Sae-ron later admitted all the charges. However, controversy over lies arose because he appealed for leniency, claiming his living hardship. Contrary to his words that he is suffering from hardships in life, he hired as many as six lawyers, including a former lawyer at one of the nation's top 10 law firms, and was embroiled in a controversy over manipulation after revealing his recent status as if he was working part-time at a famous coffee chain.

In the end, the court imposed a fine of 20 million won on Kim Sae-ron by applying the so-called 「Devil of Discrimination」. In response, Kim Sae-ron expressed his unfairness that he did not complain of difficulties in life and that he was working part-time.



Since then, Kim Sae-ron has virtually disappeared from the entertainment industry. The actor was replaced by Jung Soo-bin in 'Trolley', which he chose as his next film, and 'Hunt Dogs' also put forward Jung Dae-eun instead of Kim Sae-ron.

Nevertheless, Kim Sae-ron tried to return to acting through the play `Dongchimi' in May. However, in the face of negative public opinion, he finally decided to leave. He is seeking to return to a low-budget movie. Attention is focusing on whether it will be able to turn the public's mind this time.
