On the 17th, Lizzie posted a picture of a chrysanthemum flower on her account without any comment. Although he did not directly mention Kim Sae-ron's name, it is interpreted as a tribute to Kim Sae-ron because he posted it right after the news broke.
Lizzie and Kim Saeron had temporarily suspended their activities due to a drunk driving accident. After the accident, the two continued to be labeled 'Drunk Driving', and it was not easy to return to the entertainment industry due to negative public opinion. In particular, although the two were born in different years, their birthdays are the same as July 31, and the date of the drunk accident is the same as May 18.

A year later, Kim Sae-ron's exclusive contract with the gold medalist was terminated after he was caught by police on May 18, 2022 on charges of drunk driving and inaction.
In response, Lizzie quietly mourned her colleague and friend who passed away first, and Kim Sae-ron, who suffered the same wounds and difficulties.
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."
The mortuary 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.
