We've lost another one to bullying. This is South Korean actress Kim Sae Ron, who reportedly committed su***de because she couldn't take the pressure of the South Korean public and all the backlash she got from a DUI she got in 2022. The NY times article reads
'South Korean actress Kim Sae-ron, a former child star whose promising career suffered a setback in recent years after a drunk-driving incident, was found dead in her home on Sunday afternoon, police said.
Ms. Kim, who was 24, was discovered by a friend who had visited her house, according to the Seongdong Police Station in Seoul. The police on Monday said Ms. Kim’s death was a su***de.
One of South Korea’s most lauded young actors, Ms. Kim had not appeared in any shows since she faced public criticism after being convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol in 2022.
Her death marks the latest tragedy to strike South Korea’s booming but high-pressure entertainment industry, which has faced criticism for the toll it places on the mental health of its burgeoning stars. A celebrity’s popularity is often contingent on a spotless reputation, experts say.'
When will South Koreans realize celebrities are human too? RIP Sae-ron ah.
