At the time of the crash, Ms. Kim was filming a Netflix series called “Bloodhounds” that was released in 2023. Several of her scenes were edited out of the final cut, according to the entertainment-industry publication Variety, and she did not attend promotional events with the other members of the cast. Ms. Kim also stepped down from her role in another television drama by a local broadcaster.
After that, she mostly stayed out of the public eye. Local media has reported that the actress was attempting to return to the entertainment industry in small-budget projects and a stage play. Her last acting credit remains Netflix’s “Bloodhounds,” according to the industry website IMDb.
Fans of Ms. Kim took to social media to express their grief and pay tribute. Her former entertainment company, Gold Medalist, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
