In a post at the time, Sae-ron had apologised for her drink-driving incident, writing: “I had an accident yesterday on May 18, around 8 am in Gangnam, I made a big mistake by being drunk at that time.
A drunk driving incident in May 2022 had led to a pause in her career, with a court fining the star 20 million won (£11,000) in April 2023.

South Korean actor Kim Sae-ron has been found dead, aged 24, according to police reports.
