Kim played a fourth-year student and activist called Yeo Jung-min in the series Snowdrop, starring opposite K-pop singer Jisoo, who played Eun Young-ro.
While it originally was shown on the JTBC network in Korea, it is available on Disney+ as an original series, with the story taking place only months after the June 1987 Democracy Movement in South Korea.
Kim previously starred in shows like Hi Bye, Mama!, Into the Ring and The School Nurse Files, as well as films Lipstick Revolution and Kyungmi’s World.
While the entire series of Snowdrop hasn’t aired, and Kim only appeared in seven episodes, the remaining nine are set to hit screens.
Kim was set to star in Kiss Six Sense on Disney+ and had started filming, but South Korean online platform Naver has reported that filming has been cancelled after her death was announced.
