Kim Sae-ron's Cause of Death Revealed
The cause of death of South Korean actress Kim Sae-ron has been revealed.
According to Seongdong Police in Seoul and Yonhap News Agency, Kim's death has been ruled a suicide. No note was left, the news agency reported.
Known for her roles in "The Man from Nowhere" and "The Neighbor", the actress was found dead on Sunday at her home in Seoul by a friend, who called the police. She was 24.
One of South Korea's highly praised and popular actors, Kim's career paused after she was fined 20 million won ($13,800) 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 Gold Medalist later that year.
She most recently appeared as Kim Hyeon-joo in Netflix's "Bloodhounds".
Born July 31, 2000, in Seoul, Kim began her career as a child actress with roles in such films as "A Brand New Life" (2009) and "I Am a Dad" (2011), before taking on leading roles as a teen in movies like "A Girl at My Door (2014), and "The Villagers" (2018), as well as shows like "Listen to My Heart", "The Queen's Classroom", and "Love Playlist".
Kim's work in "A Girl at My Door" earned 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".

BTS' J-Hope Announces New Solo Single, "Killin' It Girl" Ft. GloRilla: Here's When It Arrives
Yara Sameh J-hope is continuing to build up his next era. The BTS member and solo star announced that he will release his upcoming collaborative solo single, 'Killin' It Girl,' featuring rapper GloRilla on June 13. The song and video slated to drop the same day will serve as the follow-up to Hobi's March hit 'Sweet Dreams' and April's 'Mona Lisa,'. In a release announcing the track, it is described as a hip-hop song 'that captures the thrill of falling in love at first sight. Imbued with refreshing honesty, the lyrics depict an infatuation towards a confident and irresistible other.' With 'minimalistic' production, the solo effort promises to balance the K-pop superstar dancer/rapper's rhythmic rap cadence with an 'addictive' hook and Memphis MC GloRilla's 'unmistakable delivery and bold charisma.' In a recent Billboard cover story the 31-year-old said after his discharge from mandatory South Korean military service — the full group plans to reunite at some point this year when they have all finished their army hitches — he headed straight to the U.S. to work with American producers. ''Sweet Dreams'' featuring Miguel — an artist I've long respected — has a smooth, soulful vibe that feels deeply personal, ' he said. 'On the other hand, 'Mona Lisa' brings a hip-hop-driven performance energy. Both tracks are easy to connect with, yet they offer a glimpse into the broader, more evolved musical world I'm building. This is just the start — I have plenty more musical experiments in store.' In addition to the collab with GloRilla, j-hope will also release a solo version titled 'Killin' It Girl (Solo Version),' at the same time. Hobi is currently on his world Hope on the Stage tour, which is slated to hit the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan on May 31 and wrap up on June 13 and 14 with two nights at the Goyang Sports Complex in Seoul, South Korea. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

Blackpink's Lisa Documentary Is on the Way
Yara Sameh Global superstar Lisa, who rose to fame with Blackpink and is now balancing that group with a successful solo recording career and move into acting, is the subject of a documentary film in production from Sony Music Vision and director Sue Kim. The announcement was delivered Thursday night during an upfront Sony Music Vision held in Hollywood to dive into a slate of music film projects that the company currently has in the works. Kim was on hand to discuss her movie about Lisa, as were fellow directors Baz Luhrmann, who spoke at length about a recently announced Elvis Presley documentary he has in the rough-cut stage, and Frank Marshall, who showed a few minutes of footage from his Barbra Streisand doc-in-progress. Kim said she spent a year working with Lisa on the forthcoming film, for which no release date was given. The filmmaker's previous acclaimed directorial work has been with less famous subjects, like A24's 'The Last of the Sea Women,' which premiered last fall at the Toronto Film Festival. But Kim did not come to the Lisa project as a K-pop novice; she was an executive producer on Apple TV+'s docuseries 'K-Pop Idols.' A trailer for the film screened during the presentation to industry pros included everything from concert footage of Lisa on stage performing her solo music to intimate footage of her with relatives. Kim said that at her very first meeting with Lisa, the singer immediately started texting a friend group from her pre-fame days, telling them she wanted them to be part of the documentary. Said Lisa, in a statement announcing the project: 'This has been such an incredible year and I'm so lucky to have the opportunity to capture these special moments on film and share the experience with my fans. Working with Sue Kim has been such a joy. We've been all around the world together and I know this is just the beginning of many more exciting things to come.' 'Following Lisa on this transformative and thrilling year has been a true honor and a cinematic gift,' said Kim, in the director's own statement. 'There have been so many moments on her journey that I think will surprise people and give a glimpse into her world that no one's ever seen before. I'm excited for viewers to watch the film and witness this extraordinary moment in her life.' The Lisa film is a production of Tremolo Productions in association with Salt Water Productions and LLOUD CO. The producers for the doc include Morgan Neville and Caitrin Rogers for Tremolo, and Sue Kim and Courtney Crockett for Salt Water Productions. Executive producers include Alice Kang, Joojong Joe for LLOUD CO.; Peter Edge, John Fleckenstein and Camille Yorrick for RCA Records; and Tom Mackay, Krista Wegener and Abby Davis for Sony Music Vision. The doc will be presented and distributed by Sony Music Vision in partnership with the RCA Records label. It follows the recent release by LLOUD CO./RCA of Lisa's debut solo album, 'Alter Ego.' After all the members of Blackpink took a year off to pursue solo efforts, the group is coming back together for a short tour scheduled for this year, presumably to be followed by a more prolonged reunion. The singer also made her acting debut in the most recent season of 'The White Lotus,' which was included in the trailer as one of the subjects to be broached in the documentary. Luhrmann's presentation of several minutes of footage from his 'EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert' film — which was described as neither a concert film nor a documentary, but obviously is a hybrid of both — served as the climax of the Sony Music Vision upfront, with the filmmaker talking about the dozens of hours of previously unseen footage he sifted through. The director said he recently showed a rough cut of the film and was encouraged by the reaction of even non-Presley fans to a project that includes considerable audio of Presley talking about his life as well as on-stage and backstage footage from the '50s through '70s. Sony Music Vision has been behind a recent streak of high-profile documentaries helmed by prestige directors, including Questlove's Sly Stone doc, as well as the company's remastered version of a vintage Pink Floyd concert film that this spring became its highest grossing big-screen release. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
