Reacting to her return with the new look, a fan wrote in the comments, “OMG Kim Sae Ron it's back.” “Finally you're back, really miss you… Everyone makes a mistake, fighting eonni (sister),” added another. One more commented, “Everyone deserves a second chance soooo as long as she learned from her previous mistake and does not repeat it again then it's all good.”

Kim Sae Ron's drunk driving case
The 23-year-old actress caused a stir when police apprehended her following multiple complaints of breaching the Road Safety Act in the Cheongdam district of Seoul's Gangnam area. Allegedly, she collided with a transformer box and a guardrail while driving under the influence.

According to the reports, her former agency GOLDMEDALIST issued a statement and extended an apology to the public. It read, “Kim Sae Ron is deeply reflecting on her mistakes. In addition, Kim Sae Ron sincerely apologizes to the many people who have suffered damage and inconvenience and to all those who are working hard to restore the damaged public facilities, and promised to do her best to repair the damage.”


The actor also wrote a heartfelt letter by hand on social media and shared, “I had an accident yesterday on May 18th around 8 am in Gangnam destroying public waste. I made a big mistake by being drunk at that time. My wrong judgement and actions have caused damage to so many people, merchants, citizens, and restorers. I should have been more careful and responsible, but I failed. I sincerely apologize. The damage caused by the accident is currently being sorted out with the company and will do our best to communicate and proactively resolve it until the end.” She also paid for the damages.

After the incident, she decided to step down from her role in the SBS K-drama Trolley. Subsequently, Kim Sae Ron faced a suspension from all her activities and, due to financial struggles, took on part-time work at a cafe. Eventually, by the conclusion of 2022, she parted paths with her previous agency as they chose not to extend her contract.

Kim Sae Ron began her career as a child actor, featuring in productions such as "The Man From Nowhere," "The Neighbor," "A Girl at My Door," and "The Great Shaman Ga Doo Shim." Currently, there are no announced plans for her return to work.
