Late Korean actress Kim Sae Ron’s sudden death shocked everyone and became a huge debate online. She transformed her career as a child actor into a lead player as she approached adulthood. Though much of her personal journey and life have not been public, it is known that her sisters are also actors, according to reports. Despite her family members being in the same field, she was the sole earner of her family.
Kim Sae Ron’s Family Background
Kim Sea Ron had two younger sisters- Kim Ah Ron and Kim Ye Ron, who also debuted as child actors just like her, according to Koreaboo. The sisters mostly made appearances in K-dramas and musicals. Her middle sister, Kim Ha Ron, starred in several films like Perfect Number and Barbie, and also starred alongside her. She then launched her own musical career in 2013, stepping into roles such as Young Dorothy Gale in The Wizard Of Oz and Gretl von Trapp in The Sound Of Music.

Her younger sister is currently 20 years old and started acting at the age of 7. She debuted with the role in the 2011 horror film The Cat. In this, she played a ghostly young girl alongside Park Min Young. Kim Ye Ron then stepped into musical theatre in 2012 and played the roles of young Turandot in Turandot, young Pocahontas in Pocahontas and young Mulan in Mulan.
However, in 2020, both sisters took a hiatus from work due to unknown reasons. This left the late actress as the sole breadwinner of their family. In the same year, she changed her alliance from YG Entertainment to Kim Soo Hyun’s GOLDMEDALIST.
Many claim this as a poor move as it shrank her from big roles to minor special appearances and Kakaotv web dramas. Two years later, her tragic DUI incident happened, and she stopped receiving work, leading to her family struggling financially.
