Article
Kim Sae-ron (Korean: 김새론; July 31, 2000 – February 16, 2025) was a South Korean actress. Kim began her career in 2001 as a child model and transitioned to acting in 2009 with the film A Brand New Life (2009). She gained recognition through The Man from Nowhere (2010), earning herself a Baeksang Arts Awards for Best New Actress nomination. She later starred in the television series Listen to My Heart (2011), The Queen's Classroom (2013), and Hi! School: Love On (2014), along with the film A Girl at My Door (2014). Her first adult lead role was in the series Secret Healer (2016).
Over the years, Kim built a reputation as one of South Korea's most promising young actresses. However, in 2022, her career plateaued following a drunk driving incident, which led to public backlash and legal consequences. She left the production of Trolley (2023) and was partly edited out of the drama Bloodhounds (2023), with the storyline revised.
