Kim Sae Ron’s most recent work was the 2023 Netflix original series ‘Bloodhounds’, which was filmed before her DUI. She was planning to return to the acting scene with the theatrical play 'Dongchimi' in May 2024, but she eventually dropped out, citing health concerns. 

In addition, a source close to the actress mentioned that Kim Sae Ron had concluded the filming for a music film 'Guitar Man' in November 2024, and was in talks about furthering her career.

Born in 2000, Kim Sae Ron debuted through the film ‘A Brand New Life’ in 2009, and is most well known for the films ‘The Man from Nowhere’ and ‘The Neighbor’. She passed away at the age of 24.
