ALCOHOLISM A FACTOR? –
Feb. 17, 2025 – Actress Kim Sae-ron’s cause of death has been revealed.“We believe she made an extreme choice and plan to handle it as a suicide,” a police official told reporters. Sae-ron was found dead at her home on February 16, by a friend who had visited her house. She was 24 years old.
Sae-ron began acting in 2009, starring in A Brand New Life, The Man From Nowhere, The Neighbors, A Girl at My Door, Snowy Road and The Villagers. She last appeared in Netflix’s 2023 series Bloodhounds.
Sae-ron’s acting career suffered following a drunk driving incident in May 2022. The Netflix star was fined about $14,000 after her blood alcohol levels exceeded 0.2 percent, per Yonhap News Agency. (An alcohol level over 0.03 percent while driving is considered a D.U.I offense in South Korea.)
“First, I apologize for informing you of the accident and the damages late. I caused an accident in Gangnam around 8 a.m. yesterday, May 18, where I damaged public property. At the time, I was drunk and made a big mistake,” she said in a translated Instagram statement. “Due to my poor judgment and actions, I caused damage to many people, including the merchants in the surrounding stores, citizens, and those who were helping with the repairs. I should have acted more carefully and responsibly, but I was unable to do so. I sincerely apologize.”
