Actress Kang Seo-ha (real name Kang Ye-won) has passed away after battling cancer. She was 31 years old.
Kang Seo-ha sadly passed away on the 14th after a long fight against her illness.
The deceased's funeral hall has been set up in Room 8 of the Catholic University of Korea Seoul St. Mary's Hospital in Banpo-dong, Seoul. The funeral will take place at 7:40 AM on the 16th. The burial site is in her hometown of Haman, Gyeongnam.
Following the news of her passing, a wave of tributes from fellow actors and fans has flooded social media and online communities.
A friend reminisced, “She was someone who, even while enduring pain with painkillers, never forgot to say ‘thank you.’ She was a warm sister who worried more about others than herself.” They continued, “Even when she couldn’t eat for months, she always worried about my meals first. She left us too soon.”
Kang Seo-ha made her entertainment debut in 2012 through the music video for 'Far Away' by Brave Guys. She then began her acting career in earnest with JTBC's 'Seonam Girls High School Detective Team' and appeared in numerous works such as KBS's 'Assembly', MBC's 'The Flower in Prison', KBS's 'Again, First Love', 'Wave, Wave', SBS's 'Thoracic Surgery', and 'Nobody Knows', earning recognition for her solid acting skills.
Until recently, she had not given up on her desire to work and left behind her final work through the completed film 'Mangnae-in'.
A representative stated, “During filming, actress Kang Seo-ha was more diligent and warm than anyone else. She will remain in many people's memories for a long time through her roles in her works,” expressing condolences.
