Hollywood is in shock this week after the shocking news that Kim Sae-ron has died.
The 24-year-old Netflix star was found dead in her home in Seongsu-dong, a neighborhood in eastern Seoul, South Korea.
The South Korean actress disappeared from the public eye following a drunk driving conviction nearly two years ago.
Her body was discovered by a friend, according to police.
Kim Sae-ron is best known for her role in the 2010 movie “The Man from Nowhere,” in which she played a kidnapped child rescued by a former special forces agent.
She would go on to win the Best New Actress award at the Korean Film Awards for her performance.
Unfortunately, her career would be derailed following a drunk-driving accident in 2022. She was fined 20 million won ($13,800).
She would find it hard to find work due to the negative public sentiment following the incident.
Her last appearance in a role was in the 2023 Netflix series “Bloodhounds,” according to IMDB.
Unfortunately, much of her role would be edited out due to the drunk-driving incident.

No official cause of death was given at the time, but then it would later be revealed that authorities believe “she made an extreme choice and plan to handle it as a suicide,” according to Yonhap.
