My heart goes out to their families. R.I.P Kim Sae-ron” along with a photo from the set of “The Man from Nowhere”, showing a warm moment between him and Kim Sae-ron.
Seeing her youthful image deepened the sadness for many. Netizens left comments such as “Thank you for your condolences” and “She was the best actress.”
Additionally, Director Lee Jeong-beom, who worked with Kim Sae-ron on “The Man from Nowhere”, praised her, “I rarely get the chance to talk about Sae-ron, but I remember her as a sensitive and emotionally mature child, beyond what is typical for a child of her age. Despite being just 11 years old, she felt like a 21-year-old actress. Her emotional depth greatly contributed to the film, and I feel indebted to her performance.”

Kim Sae-ron, found dead at her home in Seongdong-gu, Seoul at the age of 25, was remembered fondly by those who worked with her. Her passing has deeply affected the entertainment industry. Kim Sae-ron’s funeral is being held at Seoul Asan Medical Center.
