Korean star Kim Sae-ron was found dead in her home on Sunday. She was 24.
According to the Korean Herald, the “Bloodhounds” actress’s body was discovered in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, by a friend who had plans to meet with her.
Local police are investigating the cause of Sae-ron’s death and have not seen any signs of a break-in.
“We have not found any signs of foul play as of yet, but we are investigating the circumstances of the death,” a police official reportedly said.
Sae-ron started her acting career as a child in 2009.
She rose to fame with her roles in the 2010 film “The Man from Nowhere” and the 2012 movie “The Neighbor.”
Most recently, Sae-ron starred in the 2023 Netflix hit “Bloodhounds,” which tells the story of two young boxers who band together with a moneylender to take down a loan shark who preys on the poor.
Sae-ron’s career took a hit after she crashed into trees, guard rails and a transformer while driving under the influence in Gangnam District, Seoul, in May 2022.
After the accident, the “A Girl at My Door” star issued a hand-written apology online, writing that she “made a big mistake while drinking.”
“I caused damage to so many people, including merchants, citizens, and those who restored it. I should have acted more carefully and responsibly, but I couldn’t. I sincerely apologize,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.
“Once again, we deeply apologize and apologize for causing concern. There is no excuse for this unfortunate incident. I am disappointed and very ashamed of the mistakes I have made.”
The following year, Sae-ron was fined 20 million won ($13,874.82) for the incident.
