According to the Seongdong Police Station in Seoul on the 16th, Kim Sae-ron was found dead at his home in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, around 4:50 p.m. that day. When Kim Sae-ron, who had promised to meet with his friend, could not be reached, his friend reportedly visited him, checked, and reported him. Police and 119 rescue teams who received the report were dispatched to the scene, but they had already died.
Police said no criminal charges were found, including signs of outside invasion. However, the exact circumstances of the death are being investigated, and the case is planned to be investigated based on the first reporter's statement.
Kim Sae-ron, who made his face known in the 2009 movie `The Man from Nowhere,' has established his position as an actor by playing roles in 'Doheeya', 'High School-Love On', and 'Witch Bogam'. However, in May 2022, while driving under the influence of alcohol in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, he caused an accident and fled. At that time, the blood alcohol concentration was 0.2%, the level of license cancellation, and the court was fined 20 million won. Since then, I have stopped acting and have been self-reflecting.
Kim Sae-ron's last appearance is in the 2023 Netflix original series 'Hunt Dogs'. It was a work that had been filmed before the drunk driving accident, and there was no official acting activity since then. In May last year, he was scheduled to return to the play 'Dongchimi', but he dropped out for health reasons.
