Popular South Korean actress, Kim Sae-ron, died by suicide, police said Monday. She was 24.

The Netflix star, renowned for her performance in the 2023 hit series “Bloodhounds,” was discovered deceased on Sunday at approximately 4:50 p.m. local time at her residence in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, by a friend who had arranged to see her.

“We believe she made an extreme choice and plan to handle it as a suicide,” officials told reporters, via local Yonhap news agency.

Authorities added that the actress did not leave a suicide note.

On Sunday, police said they found no “signs of foul play,” and added that the investigation into her death was ongoing.

Having made her acting debut at the age of 9, the star gained recognition through appearances in the 2010 action film “The Man from Nowhere” and the 2012 thriller, “The Neighbor.”

Nonetheless, following a drunken car accident involving crashing into a roadside electrical transformer box in May 2022, as per the South China Morning Post, she was compelled to sideline her acting career.

As a result, she was forced into hiding and was fined $20 million won, or $13,850.

The crash had caused enough public humiliation to drive her out of the limelight, including by stepping down from her role in the drama series “Trolley,” the outlet added.

Sae-ron attempted a return to the spotlight last year, however she was soon plagued with health issues that forced her to retreat once again.

Her final release was the action series “Bloodhounds.”

She won numerous awards throughout her career and was honored as “Best New Actress” at several Korean arts awards ceremonies, according to her IMDB page.
