Actor Ryu Seung-soo expressed his sorrow over the death of the late Song Young-kyu.

On the 5th, Ryu Seung-soo posted on his Instagram, "The first time I met him was in the SBS drama 'The Chaser.' How could he act so well? We used to compete in our acting whenever we met, and we had great chemistry."

He continued, "I'm really glad I could see his last performance," adding, "I can't forget the expression on his face a week ago when he quietly hugged me after the performance, looking bittersweet."

He expressed his heavy heart, saying, "You've worked hard all this time, hyung! Now rest comfortably! It's only been a short time since Sun-kyun left."

The late Song Young-kyu was found dead on the 4th in Cheoin-gu, Yongin, at the age of 55. No signs of foul play have been discovered so far, and the police are currently investigating the exact circumstances of his death.

It was reported last month that the deceased had driven under the influence of alcohol for about 5 km from Giheung-gu to Cheoin-gu in June.

As a result, he stepped down from the play 'Shakespeare in Love,' and the productions of SBS drama 'Try' and ENA's 'I Shopping' announced they would minimize his appearance.

The deceased's mortuary has been set up in Room 1 at Davos Hospital Funeral Home. The funeral will be held on the morning of the 6th, and the burial site will be at Hambeoksan Memorial Park.
