A 24-year-old South Korean actress who appeared in the Netflix series Bloodhounds was found dead in her home Sunday, authorities said. Kim Sae-ron, who began acting at age 9, was discovered in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, by a friend around 4:50 p.m. local time, Yonhap News Agency reported. No cause of death has been released, but authorities do not suspect foul play. Sae-ron had racked up credits in 2010 action film The Man from Nowhere and the 2012 thriller The Neighbour, but stepped back from acting after she was involved in a drunk driving crash in May 2022. Her most recent appearance on screen was the Korean series Bloodhounds, which was released in 2023. However, the show reduced her role following the drunk-driving scandal.
