It has been 15 years since actor Park Yong-ha passed away.

Park Yong-ha left this world on June 30, 2010, at his home in Gangnam, Seoul, at the age of 32.

Debuting in 1994 with MBC's 'Theme Theater', Park gained much love through dramas such as 'Again and Again', 'Loving You', 'Winter Sonata', and 'On Air'. In particular, 'Winter Sonata' recorded immense popularity in Japan, rapidly elevating him to the status of a Hallyu star.

In 2003, Park also ventured into singing with his first album 'Gibeol', achieving great success with the drama 'All In' OST 'Like the First Day'. In Japan, his single 'Don't Go' released in November 2004 ranked within the top 10 of the Oricon chart, and he received the Japan Golden Disk Award for five consecutive years starting in 2005.

It has already been 15 years since Park Yong-ha passed away, but tributes from fellow celebrities and fans continue to pour in.

On the 29th, Kim Jae-joong posted several photos of Park Yong-ha's columbarium on his social media, stating, "Last year, it was raining, which made me miss my brother even more sadly, but today, thanks to the clear weather, it feels better to greet him with a smile. I still can't believe it's already been 15 years since he left."

He also expressed his longing, saying, "The world changes quickly, and precious memories of the past can fade over time, but my brother still holds a warm place in the hearts of many people."
