There is no doubt that Kim Sae Ron is an exceptional actress who deserves much respect and appreciation. However, netizens are not too happy with her current actions.
Sources have reported that actress Kim Sae Ron had a conflict with fellow actress Park Hye Soo regarding the order of her name's appearance in the cast list. Previously, on the 3rd of last month, KBS announced the list of cast members of "Dear M" in the order of Park Hye Soo, NCT Jaehyun, Kim Sae Ron, and Bae Hyun Seong.
Apparently, this displeased Kim Sae Ron so much that she decided to leave the drama altogether. Netizens are disappointed at this "privileged" behavior where the order of one's name's appearance is more important than the work they're in.
Kim Sae Ron, better known mononymously as Saeron, is a popular South Korean actress. She began her career when she was nine years old and became a popular child star through the films A Brand New Life (2009) and The Man From Nowhere (2010). As Kim Sae Ron reached her teenage years, she was cast in more leading roles, notably in the film A Girl at My Door (2014).

Her first adult lead role was in the television drama Secret Healer.
In 2015, Kim Sae Ron had a breakthrough lead role in the Drama City television special, Snowy Road. The two-part drama series is about the "comfort women" in Korea under Japanese rule during World War II and was later released as a film in theaters.
Both critics and viewers praised Kim's performance as a 15-year-old comfort woman, and she was awarded Best Actress in a Foreign Film at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival. She then played the main character in the television series To Be Continued and the younger version of Choi Kang Hee's character in Glamorous Temptation.
In November 2016, Kim signed with YG Entertainment. In 2018, Kim starred in the thriller film The Villagers. In 2019, Kim starred in the fourth season of the campus web drama Love Playlist. The same year she starred in the thriller drama Leverage, based on the same name's American drama.
In November 2019, it was reported that Kim's contract with YG Entertainment has expired and that she would be leaving the company. In January 2020, Kim signed with Gold Medalist and actors Kim Soo Hyun and Seo Ye Ji.
