kerk_hiraeth | Kim Sae-ron (2000-2025) (Reply)

Discovered that a Korean actress, Kim Sae-ron was found dead at her home this morning.

This fanvid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9DhOV2Rexg for her, and her character on the Korean adaptation of Leverage opened up a whole new world of Korean cinema and dramas for me.

I Can't help but believe she was hounded to death because of a drink-driving incident something like three years ago. Korean media and fans can be incredibly toxic. More than a few actors & artists have taken their lives because of it. Too early to know what happened, but hard to believe that bullying culture did not play a huge role.*

Hard to fathom that another talent with such potential is gone.

Only thing I can think now is I really need to get that Soljiwan story written and not forget to dedicate to her & Yun Sol and Seo Ji-wan; also the actors who played them Lee Jo-jung & Yun Sol-ah.

Goddess grant she find the peace now that she could never find in this world.

Trying hard not to cry now.

ps. *Cannot say if it was truly the reason, but I have been on the edge of that abyss too many times for it not to be at the forefront of my thoughts.
