Cause of death of South Korean actor Kim Sae-ron revealed
According to Seongdong Police in Seoul and Yonhap News Agency, Kim's death has been ruled a suicide.
Known for her roles in The Man from Nowhere and The Neighbour, the actress was found dead on Sunday at her home in Seoul by a friend, who called police.
One of South Korea's highly praised and popular actors, Kim's career paused after she was fined 20 million won (Dh50,849) for driving under the influence in 2022. At the time she had issued an apology on her Instagram account, saying "there is no excuse for this distasteful incident." Following the incident, Kim left her role in the SBS drama Trolley shortly after taking it, and she opted not to renew her contract with her agency Goldmedalist later that year.
She was most recently seen as Kim Hyeon-joo in Netflix's Bloodhounds. Kim's work earned in A Girl at My Door won her Best New Actress at the Blue Dragon Film Awards, years after winning the same accolade at the Korean Film Awards for her performance in The Man from Nowhere.

Dubai Court Fines Motorist, Orders Dh50,000 Blood Money in Fatal Scooter Accident
A Dubai court has fined a Gulf national Dh10,000 and ordered him to pay Dh50,000 in blood money to the family of an Asian man who died in a traffic accident earlier this year. The fatal incident took place in March on Al Wasl Road, where the victim, riding an electric scooter, was struck near a pedestrian crossing. Responding officers found him critically injured, and he was declared dead at the scene. The driver told investigators the man suddenly crossed outside the pedestrian lane, leaving no chance to avoid the collision. However, police determined both parties shared responsibility. Traffic reports revealed the driver had run a red light, failed to slow down at a crossing, and neglected proper caution, which directly caused the fatal crash. Investigators also noted that the victim contributed to the accident by riding — instead of walking — his scooter across the pedestrian line and failing to check for oncoming vehicles. In its ruling, the court stressed that negligence, whether through action or omission, constitutes criminal liability, underscoring the shared responsibility of both the motorist and the victim.

BINI files cybercrime complaint over Filipino street food spliced video
Members of P-pop girl group BINI have filed a criminal complaint before the prosecutor's office in Santa Rosa, Laguna against the uploader of a spliced video that they said fueled online hate against them. The complaint, filed under the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, was made public through an Instagram post by the group's lawyer, Joji Villanueva Alonso, and reported by ABS-CBN News. The post showed members Jhoanna, Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, and Sheena taking their oath before a court officer. Alonso did not disclose the respondent's identity but said the person is facing charges of unjust vexation under Article 287 of the Revised Penal Code, in relation to Sections 4B and 6 of Republic Act 10175. The offense carries a penalty of six to 12 years in prison. The group is also seeking ₱1 million in damages for each member, or a total of ₱8 million. According to Alonso, the case stemmed from a 25-minute video of BINI members trying Filipino street food. A shortened two-minute version was uploaded online, showing only negative reactions, which she said distorted the narrative and triggered online attacks against the group. She added that the spliced video caused 'irreparable emotional and mental distress' to the members, stressing that free speech online must come with accountability. 'BINI is taking a strong stance against this digital form of abuse which is prevalent. Literally anyone may fall victim. In filing this case, BINI stands as a voice in fighting for all those who remain unheard,' Alonso said.
