Popular South Korean actress found dead in her home | World News


South Korean actress Kim Sae-ron has been found dead at her home in Seoul, according to the Yonhap news agency. 

A friend discovered the Netflix actress after going to her house.

They called the police who found no signs of foul play, according to Yonhap.

Kim, 24, was one of South Korea’s most promising actresses and starred in a number of box-office hits, most recently in the 2023 hit Netflix series Bloodhounds.

She was fined 20 million won (£11,000) over the incident and largely withdrew from acting.

She attempted to return to acting last year but later removed herself again over health issues, according to Yonhap.

Kim rose to prominence in 2009 with her role in A Brand New Life, which saw her appear at the Cannes Film Festival.

She then starred in a number of hits including A Girl At My Door and Mirror Of The Witch in 2016.

Police are investigating the cause of death but did not provide further details.
