[The Fact | Reporter Jang Yoon-seok] The funeral for actress Kim Sae-ron was held privately at the funeral hall of Seoul Asan Medical Center on the morning of the 19th, with her acquaintances carrying the casket. The burial site will be at the Paju Unification Cemetery.
Kim Sae-ron was found dead in her home in Seongsu-dong, Seongdong-gu, at around 4:54 PM on the 16th. The first person to discover her deceased was an acquaintance, referred to as A, who had planned to meet her on the day. The police stated, “There were no signs of forced entry or any indications of a crime,” and noted that no will was found at the scene.
Born in July 2000, Kim Sae-ron started her career as a magazine cover model during infancy and gained attention with the 2009 film “A Brand New Life,” which was the youngest entry to the Cannes International Film Festival, as well as the 2010 hit film “The Man from Nowhere” alongside Won Bin.
However, in May 2022, she was caught by the police with allegations of drunk driving and leaving the scene of an accident, which effectively halted her activities. Kim Sae-ron expressed her remorse through a handwritten apology and parted ways with her then-agency, Gold Medalist, after her contract expired.
Later, news came out that Kim Sae-ron was to appear in the movie “The Guitar Man” (directed by Shin Jae-ho) as of November last year, which will be her final film.
