We ask for the public’s understanding and request that speculation about the cause of death be avoided.”
Kim Sae-ron began her acting career as a child, debuting in the 2009 film A Brand New Life. She gained widespread recognition for her role in The Man from Nowhere (2010), starring alongside Won Bin.
