South Korean actress Kim Sae-ron's cause of death was announced by authorities after the former child star was found dead at 24, reports say.

The 24-year-old actress’ death has triggered calls for change to the way South Korean celebrities are treated in the public arena and on social media.

The 24-year-old star, once a prolific child actor, appeared at the Cannes Film Festival and on Netflix, until a drunk-driving incident in 2022 derailed her career.
