Only 24 years old! The famous actress is found dead inside her apartment

South Korean actress Kim Sae-ron has been found dead in Seoul, reports the BBC.

The 24-year-old was found at her home in the Seongsu-dong neighborhood by a friend. Officers said no marks were found on her body and they are investigating the cause of death.

Kim began her career as an actress as a child and was seen as one of South Korea's most promising young actresses.

Born in Seoul in 2000, she rose to fame with her role in the 2009 film A Brand New Life – which saw her screen at the Cannes Film Festival. She went on to star in South Korea's highest-grossing film of 2010, The Man from Nowhere, and the 2012 thriller The Neighbour, for which she received award recognition.

Other notable roles include the 2014 film A Girl at My Door and television roles such as Mirror of the Witch in 2016.

The actress largely withdrew from the public eye in 2022 due to a drink-driving accident, for which she was fined 20 million baht (£11,000) in April 2023.

Kim's most recent role was in the 2023 Netflix Korean drama Bloodhounds.

Variety reported that much of her role was modified due to the car accident.
