Close acquaintances of actress Kim Sae Ron are devastated by the heartbreaking news of her passing.

On February 16, an acquaintance of Kim Sae Ron shared, “I met Kim Sae Ron at the end of last year,” adding, “She changed her name to Kim Ah Im and was preparing for a new start. She had already finished filming the movie 'Guitar Man' in early November last year and had been kept discussing how to continue her activities afterward."

The acquaintance continued, "Since she was making her return through a movie, we had talked about 'giving it our all from now on,' so hearing this news is truly heartbreaking.”

They further revealed, “Kim Sae Ron was planning to open a café with close friends and was also preparing to return to the entertainment industry, so I can’t believe this tragic news.”

Regarding the name change, the source clarified that she had changed her name a long time ago, as the new name was already registered on her official resident registration.

According to the police, Kim was found dead at her home on this day. Authorities received a related report around 5 PM KST and responded immediately, but Kim was already discovered deceased. The exact circumstances of the incident are currently under investigation.

Our deepest condolences go out to the bereaved.
