Actor Kim Sae-ron has passed away at the age of 25, causing regret, raising the issue of 'malicious comments' that made it difficult for the deceased during his lifetime.

According to the Seongdong Police Station in Seoul on the 16th, Kim Saeron was found dead at his home in Seongsu-dong, Seongdong-gu, at 4:54 p.m. that day. A friend who promised to meet reportedly visited Kim Sae-ron's house and found him and reported him to the police. A police official said "So far, no criminal charges have been confirmed, including signs of external invasion, but the details of the death are under investigation."

Fans are mourning the sudden death of actor Kim Sae-ron, who drew attention as a `genius child.'

In particular, some raised issues with malicious comments and overheated media reports that were pouring into the deceased during their lifetime.

Earlier, Kim Sae-ron suspended his acting activities for three years in 2022 when he was fined 20 million won for hitting a guardrail and a transformer while driving under the influence of alcohol. However, even during the self-reflection period, Kim Sae-ron was caught up in various gossip. He became increasingly distant from the public due to various controversies such as drinking parties, controversy over hygiene and manipulation of part-time jobs, allegations of false living pains, and 'self-love rumors' with actor Kim Soo-hyun.

He steadily started his return to the entertainment industry, but it failed, and only the deceased's every move was written and consumed as 'Gossip'. An entertainment YouTuber also produced and reported content that delves into Kim Sae-ron's private life.

Since then, Kim Sae-ron has suffered from continuous malicious comments and untrue rumors, and in the end, he posted on his SNS last year that he was having a hard time "XX. Can't you stop doing it? These days, he shared 'GIF' that he wants to say what he wants to say, and expressed his feelings of being troubled by public criticism.

As a result, voices of self-reflection are growing over 'malicious comments' that made the deceased difficult during his lifetime. Criticism is also pouring into YouTubers who produced Kim Sae-ron's 'Gossip' as content. As a result, YouTubers seem to have been conscious of criticism, but controversy continues as there are a number of comments criticizing YouTubers in the comments section of other videos.

Singer Mi-kyo "The haters' hands stop only once a person dies. I was worried. But you don't even know that they're posting malicious comments, do you?"The same goes for media and broadcasting. "I'm pretending to be good in the world as if I didn't know when I did that if I eventually die after finding issues and publishing articles to attract people." Then "It's not a matter of killing a true person. It is a pity that only the dead are sorry for them. "We pray for the repose of the deceased in Samga."

Meanwhile, the mortuary of the late Kim Sae-ron was set up at Asan Medical Center in Seoul. We will receive condolences from the 17th and the seal is scheduled for the morning of the 19th.
