Kim Sae-ron was born in 2000 and debuted in the entertainment industry in 2001 as a model for the magazine Anfang. In 2009, he was selected as the main character of the film 'Traveller' produced by Lee Chang-dong after overcoming a high competition ratio of 1000:1. Kim Sae-ron, who was 9 years old at the time, was honored to enter the Cannes International Film Festival as the youngest with this work.




In the movie `The Man Who Came' released the following year, he played the role of Jeong So-mi and worked with actor Won-bin. Having established himself as the best child star with a cumulative audience of 6.17 million, he has continued his steady acting activities and has been loved by the public. In the movie 「Neighbor」 released in 2012, the girl who was victimized by a serial killer and the girl who was the final target of the criminal were three-dimensionally portrayed, perfectly playing two roles. Director Chung Ju-ri's film 『Doheeya" (2014) was the second film to walk on the red carpet at the Cannes International Film Festival.

He also appeared in movies 'I'm a Dad', 'Bobby', 'Manhole', 'Manshin', 'Do you hear my heart?', 'Hi School: Love on', 'The Queen's Classroom', 'Gorgeous Temptation', 'Witch Bogam', and 'Witchless Parkjasim' to show off his stable acting skills at an early age.

However, it caused a stir in May 2022 when it was caught by police on charges of drunk driving and inaction. Kim Sae-ron was drunk driving near Hakdong Intersection in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and hit guardrails and street trees more than three times. At the time of the accident, Kim Saeron's blood alcohol concentration was about 0.2%, which was confirmed to have been intoxicated, far exceeding 0.08% based on the license cancellation standard. In addition, a nearby transformer broke down due to an accident at the time, causing business disruptions in the area due to power outages. Kim Sae-ron was sent to the prosecution over the accident and was fined 20 million won in April 2023. In the aftermath of the privacy controversy, he dropped out of the SBS drama 'Trolley', and was partially edited in the original Netflix series 'Hunt Dogs'.




In April last year, Kim Sae-ron attempted to return to the entertainment industry with the play 「Dongchimi」, but he eventually dropped out of the work as negative public opinion continued. In November of the same year, he finished filming the movie 'Guitar Man', but it added to his sadness as it remained the deceased's posthumous work.
