Actor Song Young-kyu (55) has suddenly passed away.
The funeral for the late Song Young-kyu has been set up at the special room 1 of the Davos Hospital Funeral Home (English Medical Foundation). His two daughters and wife are listed as the mourners. The funeral will take place at 8 AM on the 6th.
Song Young-kyu was reportedly found collapsed in his vehicle around 8 AM on the day of his passing in a townhouse in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. A friend confirmed this and reported it, leading to a police investigation.
On the night of the 19th of last month, Song Young-kyu was charged with driving under the influence after drinking with friends in Giheung-gu, Yongin, and driving approximately 5 km to Cheoin-gu while intoxicated. His blood alcohol concentration was reported to be at a level that would result in license suspension (over 0.08%).
As a result, he stepped down from the play 'Shakespeare in Love' in which he was performing. The filming for the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'I Shopping' and the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Try: We Become Miracles' has been completed, and it has been announced that his appearances will be edited as much as possible.
A close associate of Song Young-kyu cautiously stated to Ilgan Sports, “(After the DUI report) he was distressed by malicious articles and comments, and the surrounding conditions and situation were very unfavorable.”
Song Young-kyu left a strong impression in films such as 'Extreme Job', 'Suriname', and 'Casino'.
