Netizens are torn on the issue.
Actress Kim Sae Ron has recently been spotted on a film set, marking her return to acting nearly two and a half years after being involved in a highly publicized drunk driving incident.
The actress was seen filming in Seoul’s Jongno district at Tapgol Park, wearing a long white dress and maintaining a positive demeanor throughout the shoot. The project she is participating in is a low-budget music film directed by Shin Jae Ho, known for his work on films such as Love, So Divine, and The Punisher.
The sighting Kim Sae Ron’s first appearance in a professional setting since the May 2022 accident, where she crashed into a guardrail, street trees, and a transformer while driving under the influence. The incident led to a temporary power outage in the area, inconveniencing nearby businesses and residents. When police arrived, she refused a breathalyzer test and instead opted for a blood test, which revealed a blood alcohol level high enough to warrant the revocation of her driver’s license. She was later fined ₩20.0 million KRW (about $14,600 USD) for the offense.
Despite this, Kim’s return to the industry has sparked mixed reactions. While some in the entertainment industry are cautiously moving forward with her comeback, others remain critical. A representative from the film she’s working on confirmed her involvement but declined to share more details about her role, signaling that the production is being handled with discretion.
As news of her return spread, netizens have taken to social media to voice their opinions on the situation, with many expressing disbelief at how quickly disgraced celebrities are able to resume their careers.
- “I’m not a fan, so I won’t watch her work or support it anyway. Honestly, whether she returns or not, I couldn’t care less. There are worse people out there who shamelessly come back, so whatever.”
- “At least stop pretending like you’re struggling with part-time jobs. Of course, you can’t forget how easy it was to make money.”
- “I’m not going to support her, but here I am rambling on about it LOL.”
- “Actress Kim Ji Soo didn’t take a single second off for self-reflection either.”
- “Haven’t there been worse people who came back without a problem?”
- “This is fascinating, really.”
- “Male actors cause huge scandals and still come back, so why can’t she, LOL.”
