Kim Sae-ron debuted as a model in the magazine 'Anfang' in 2001 and began her acting career with the film 'Traveler' in 2009, gaining public recognition through the movie 'The Man from Nowhere' in 2010. She continued to appear in various works such as 'The Neighbors', 'Manhole', 'Dohee-ya', 'Snowy Road', and 'Neighborhood People'.
While actively pursuing acting and entertainment, Kim Sae-ron came under scrutiny due to a drunk driving incident in 2022. She aimed for a comeback as an actress after two years through the play 'Dongchimi', but faced difficulties due to strong negative public opinion.
