Lizzy (Park Soo-young), a former member of After School, paid tribute to the late Kim Sae-ron.
On the 17th, Lizzy posted a photo of a chrysanthemum on Instagram. Although there were no specific words, it seems she posted it as a sign of mourning due to her friendship with the deceased.
Lizzy and Kim Sae-ron were both born on July 31, 1992, and July 31, 2000, respectively, and they have celebrated their birthdays together. Like Kim Sae-ron, Lizzy also caused controversy due to a drunk driving incident.
On May 18, 2021, Lizzy was fined 15 million won for allegedly driving under the influence and crashing into a taxi in the vicinity of the intersection near the southern end of the Yeongdong Bridge in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu.
Kim Sae-ron, who was actively working, faced a crisis due to a drunk driving incident on May 18, 2022. Afterward, she aimed for a return to acting after two years through the play ‘Dongchimi,’ but faced difficulties due to negative public opinion. The film ‘Guitar Man,’ which she finished filming last year, became her last work.
The Seongdong Police Station in Seoul reported that they received a call at 4:54 PM on the 16th regarding Kim Sae-ron being found dead at her home, and they confirmed her death upon arrival. She was 25 years old.
The deceased's funeral hall has been set up at Asan Medical Center in Seoul, and the funeral will be held on the 19th.
