A close aide of Kim Sae-ron told Sports Chosun on the 16th that "Kim Sae-ron was dreaming of returning as an actor while working part-time at a cafe and filming the movie "Guitar Man" until recently."Even when we met at the end of last year, we strengthened our will to return as an actor." he said.
In addition, Kim Sae-ron was released along with the fact that he changed his name to Kim I-im, and an acquaintance thought of starting a cafe and had a strong will to come back," he said, expressing regret.
According to the Seongdong Police Station in Seoul, Kim Sae-ron was found dead at his home in Seongdong-gu at 4:45 p.m. that day.
The first discoverer was a friend who had promised to meet in advance and 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 identified, including signs of external intrusion"The circumstances of the death are under investigation."
Meanwhile, Kim Sae-ron was a representative child star-turned-actor who debuted at the age of 9 and has been active in movies and dramas for 16 years.
After debuting as a model for the magazine 'Enfang' in 2001, he began his career as an actor in the 2009 film 'Traveller'.
When 'Traveler' was invited to the Cannes International Film Festival, he was recorded as the youngest actor in Korea to walk on the Cannes red carpet.
Since then, Kim Sae-ron, who starred in the movie `The Uncle' starring Won Bin in 2010, has risen to stardom by playing Somi, who is waiting for Won Bin's rescue.
Since then, he has appeared in movies 'Neighborhood', 'Manhole', 'Doheeya', 'Manshin', 'Doheeya','Doheeya','Manshin', and dramas 'Do you hear my heart', 'Fashion King', 'What is Mom's Classroom', 'Gorgeous Temptation', 'Witch Bogam', 'Leverage: Fraud Manipulation Team', 'Love Playlist Season 4', 'Windang Jasim'.
However, Kim Sae-ron had constant problems related to alcohol.
In 2014, Kim Sae-ron's photos with friends showed alcohol and cigarettes, sparking controversy. At that time, Kim Sae-ron was a middle school student, so the controversy over drinking and smoking underage arose.
In response, Kim Sae-ron said, `I was going to have a wine party with my family because it was before the holidays. Of course, there are adults, so I'm sorry that I took a picture sitting on the sofa without even realizing that wine is alcohol", "I'm sorry that there was something called a cigarette because I was so excited about being able to rest on a busy schedule.", he explained.
However, the problem with alcohol was that in 2022, he crashed into street trees and transformers while driving drunk, causing severe damage around the accident site, including damage to the transformer and damage to the power outage at the shopping mall.
Kim Sae-ron, who was later handed over to trial on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act (Drunk Driving), was fined 20 million won. In April last year, he tried to resume his acting activities on the stage of the play, but suddenly got off and his return was canceled due to health reasons.
In addition, Kim Sae-ron dropped out of the SBS drama 'Trolley', which was scheduled to appear, and was edited in the Netflix drama 'Hunt Dogs'.
Last year, I finished filming the movie 'Guitar Man' and was waiting for its release.
