South Korean Kim Sae-ron, 24, found dead!
Seoul, Feb 17 (EFE).-
South Korean actress Kim Sae-ron, 24, known for her role in the Netflix films “Bloodhounds” and “The neighbors” was found dead in her home, police said Monday.
The young woman was discovered in her home in Seongsu-dong, east of Seoul, at approximately 4:55am on Sunday (7:55 a.m. GMT) by a friend who had plans to meet her and who then informed the authorities, who went to the house.
“We have not found any evidence of a crime so far, but we are investigating the circumstances of the death,” a police officer told the local South Korean agency Yonhap.
The announcement of her death comes after Kim was caught driving under the influence of alcohol in 2022 after crashing her car into a railing and a transformer and was sentenced to a fine of KRW20 million ($13,850.)
In April, she tried to return to acting by participating in a play, but after the controversy, she dropped out due to health problems.
Kim’s death once again highlights the social pressure that exists in South Korea on artists, required to behave in an exemplary manner, and which in many cases has ended with actors or singers taking their own lives due to the demands they perceive. EFE co-emg/lds
