According to the police, a friend who had planned to meet with Kim visited her home, found her body, and immediately called the authorities.
A police spokesperson stated that there were no signs of forced entry or foul play, but investigations into the circumstances surrounding her death are ongoing. On Monday, the police reported that they believe Kim's death was a result of suicide. No suicide note was found.
Kim gained significant attention for her role in the film The Man From Nowhere and went on to appear in various dramas and movies. Recently, she starred in the Netflix series Bloodhounds, which is based on a webtoon.
However, in 2022, Kim faced public backlash after being involved in a DUI incident where she crashed into a transformer. She was also forced to leave Bloodhounds abruptly, with some of her scenes being edited out.
