Police Investigation Underway

A representative from Seongdong Police Station confirmed to Dispatch,
"A report was filed at 4:50 PM on the 16th. Officers and emergency responders were dispatched to the scene."

According to authorities, the initial reporter was a close friend of the deceased. Police found no signs of forced entry, and no clear evidence suggesting foul play has been identified yet.

The police plan to investigate the case further based on witness testimonies. However, they have refrained from disclosing details about the presence of a will or the exact cause of death, requesting understanding from the public.

Kim Sae-ron's Career & Recent Struggles

Kim Sae-ron first rose to fame after starring alongside Won Bin in the hit film 'The Man from Nowhere', which catapulted her to stardom as a child actress.

However, in May 2022, she was involved in a drunk driving incident, crashing into road structures near Gangnam and attempting to flee the scene. Following the accident, she withdrew from public life for two years of self-reflection.

Her last on-screen appearance was in the Netflix series 'Bloodhounds', which was filmed before the incident. She had planned a comeback through the stage play 'Dongchimi' last May but ultimately withdrew due to health concerns.

This is a developing story. More updates will follow as investigations continue.
