South Korean performer Kim Sae-ron has been discovered deceased at her residence in Seoul, as reported by the Yonhap news agency.
A companion found the Netflix star after visiting her home.
Authorities were notified, revealing no indications of foul play, according to Yonhap.
At the age of 24, Kim was regarded as one of South Korea’s most talented actresses, with roles in several successful films, most recently in the acclaimed 2023 Netflix series Bloodhounds.

She incurred a fine of 20 million won (£11,000) due to the incident and largely stepped back from her acting career.
She made an effort to reintegrate into acting last year but subsequently withdrew once more due to health concerns, as reported by Yonhap.
Kim first gained recognition in 2009 with her role in A Brand New Life, which allowed her to attend the Cannes Film Festival.
Following that, she starred in several hit productions, including A Girl At My Door and Mirror Of The Witch in 2016.
Law enforcement is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding her death but has not disclosed additional information.
