K-actress Kim Sae Ron Passes Away at 24 Years Old After Being Discovered Deceased in Her Home

It’s always with a heavy heart I need to write a post about a celeb passing away and this one is both shocking and also probably not wholly impossible that it happened. Young K-actress Kim Sae Ron has passed away this weekend, she was only 24-years old and 25 in Korean age. If it feels like she’s been around forever she has, she was the child actress in hit movie The Man From Nowhere (Ahjusshi), the 2010 movie that was one of the last Won Bin made from his still currently ongoing long hiatus from acting. Her drama credits include Hi School, Love On, Secret Healer (Mirror of the Witch), and The Great Shaman Ga Doo Shim among over a two dozen works in both TV and film. Her last two years have been away from K-ent due to a high profile drunk driving scandal where she was drunk still in the early morning and crashed her SUV into an electricity box taking out a whole block’s power. It was clear she would likely never be able to resume her entertainment career but for a child actress it’s unclear if she could pave a way forward in a life outside being an actress. She was discovered deceased in her home on Sunday February 16th after a friend she was supposed to meet today checked in on her after she was a no show. May she rest in peace now.

  • Even if she screwed up here and there…still never would I hope the worst for her…. This is so sad to hear. She was a very good actress from my memory. Where was her guidance and help…I wonder.

  • Passed away on kim soohyun's birthday? Are we going to ignore the elephant in the room here?

    She was trying to tell us something since last year and we all played deaf and dumb. Ksh is shady period

    • What exactly are you implying here? Have some balls and say it.

      Just when I thought the Internet couldn't possibly get worse

      • @rina no one wants to hear the ugly truth but internet has always been a cruel place and it’s a fact she died on his bday. This guy is shady indeed and just using his fame and Status to cover up any bad things about him. Wonder how much money he bribed ksr not to say anything more last year

        Her death on his bday is definitely saying something

    • By the way with your theory song jae rim death also linked to ksh because they have good friend and also your birthday theory do you have any proof or just making imaginary assumption ? Do you have information or chats regarding ksh shady thing then please give dispatch or any new portals so that people get to know truth!is there a rule book were is written any one birthday and some one death should co related just because of rumor and also by kim sae Ron friend what they have read this article https://www.sportschosun.com/celebrity/2025/02/kim-saeron-died-friend-found-him-and-50173

      • @goku, of course Ksh will use money to hide everything that he doesn’t want the public to know. He probably gave ksr a lot of money last year that’s why she remained silent after wards and now she died on his bday also a year after all the media storm of her pic with him.

        He has tons of money to pay dispatch not to release dirty stuff about him otherwise why wouldn’t there be a single pic of him with any girl online for the last 18 years except the one with ksr

      • Doe by the by your money and fame theory should applied all rich actor example lee byung hun,lee Jung jae,kim seon ho who were expose dispatch and regarding ksh I think you should check your fact clear first dispatch exposed ksh 2013 & 2015 regarding smoking and half sister and at time he was highest tax payer and also your doubt of 18 yrs no pic gf his career breakthrough is 2011 when korean industry was that big and also dispatch article of 2019 that they given up on ksh dating life not able to find anything and there many actor has clean sheet what you want assume by that

    • @koalabiased

      That came to my mind right away. It’s sad to see this news and it happened on his bday. I feel like it’s like her revenge and will want him to remember something forever. Whenever he celebrates his bday, some people will think of her death

      Ksh is probably problematic but he just hid it with his money and fame. The last girl linked to Ksh who got a long hate train was late sulli and she passed and now ksr. This guy brings bad luck

      • Millie - Wow what a word revenge and writing theory without any suicide note or evidence to proof the point. She was cancelled for 4 yrs and ban from channel.But Actually she was innocent & no controversy like sulli who whole Wikipedia has filled with details , no bully ,no cancel culture &put the blame on ksh but hater want to put the point without any strong evidence means ksh above korean law , past many actor career has been finished by single statement or court battle let suppose your correct but before her death why she not exposed something hand written note or some time of chats has proof by the way one you forgetting defemeation law in korea is much stronger than rape law if can't proof then pay price like past many have gone through

    • Elephant in the room? You are absolutely fucked up in the head if you think she planned her suicide on his birthday.

      It’s absolutely disgusting but also ironic that on a post about a celebrity’s death, you are trying to put the blame on another celeb with absolutely zero evidence and all speculation. You should be disgusted with yourself but frankly, people like you have zero conscience or logical thinking for that.

    • It’s rather fascinating how low some people get in the name of gossip and unfounded theories. Message? Revenge? If KSR had something to say, she’d have sent a message to the reporter before she did the deed seeing as to how she pre planned her own suicide on the birthday of KSH apparently. Or she couldve “accidentally” posted something on Instagram seeing as to how today is also the premier of the variety show KSH is starring in. Just to screw him over further. It’s not like he can sue her or pay her off when she’s dead, can he?

      Lay off with the bull and instead of piling bullshit, just wish her family the best. Or you will need to find someone else to blame if tomorrow KSH is the next in line.

    • I can't help but laugh/cry over these posts about the connection with Kim soo-hyun this is exactly the kind of b******* that leads to people killing themselves. You know NOTHING. You just needlessly accuse people as if your accusations are facts. Then you come here and shake your heads and express sorrow that somebody else was killed off because of pressure from people who expect perfection from everybody but themselves, who see conspiracies everywhere without anything to back it up, and who refuse to show any kind of humanity before throwing up another character assassination. STOP.

  • Suicide news are always sickening (if it was suicide and not a previously undiscovered medical condition). I had hoped taking a break would do her well and I was looking forward to hearing positive news from her in the future, I never thought this was where she was headed. May she now find the peace and happiness she apparently couldn't in life.

  • This just breaks my heart! O God! I wish the public, media and online commenters can be kinder to celebrities. No one is perfect. We should be more empathetic and not reserve our kindness for only when the celebrity is dead.

    RIP dear girl. You had your whole life ahead of you…
    This is just so sad.

  • Rip, it feels so hopeless right now. The audience and the industry are hard on people, people aren't perfect. People make mistakes, system for helping them is needed.

    Now isn't the time to share unconfirmed and heinous rumours. Don't join the hate train, we don't know celebrities. You aren't helping Saeron or anyone else by attacking someone else.

  • @rina ignore Ksh solo fans here. They’re toxic and always spread hate and they don’t want to know the truth how bad their oppa is

  • RIP, Kim Sae Ron.

    She needed help and counselling and it was really obvious for the past two years. She made mistakes, and her death doesn’t erase any of it. However, it’s really sad that she couldn’t get the support she needed and it came to this. I wish strength tho those who loved her in this difficult time.

  • I’m not sure if it’s shocking news, but it’s incredibly sad. I never expected she’d be able to mount a come back, but I hoped she would get her life together eventually.

  • RIP. I hope she is in a happier place now.

    (And I’m going to say this once but will not engage with lowlifes. It’s very clear some here are using KSR’s death as a way to hate on another celebrity. And it’s entirely clear whose fan those are. Literally the person who started it was swooning over her unnie in just the post previous to this. And the other one is die hard fan of his previous FL. There is obviously beef amongst fandoms but please, have a modicum of shame ffs. I have zero interest in KSH and give no shits about his personal life but I do have a lot to say to bullies online who has the balls to use someone’s death to drive home their shipping war agendas. You guys are the epitome of nasty pieces of work and huge part of the reason why suicides are so rampant in South Korea. Know that every time you write a hate comment anonymously, you may be driving someone to their death. Today it’s KSR, tomorrow it could be someone you actually like.)

    @Koala - please consider at least for such a delicate and non-gossip related article to please delete or restrict comments. As much as I love this site, this is another level nasty.
