Actor Park Joo-hyun mourned the late Song Young-kyu. It is another deep sorrow encountered less than a month after bidding farewell to her Hanbok School classmate, the late Kang Seo-ha.
On the 4th, Park Joo-hyun posted on her social media account story, "I sincerely pray for the repose of the deceased."
The condolence message left by Park Joo-hyun was for the late Song Young-kyu, as the two had collaborated in the play "Shakespeare in Love." Park Joo-hyun is currently performing passionately in the role of Viola de Lesseps, while the late Song Young-kyu was part of the play in the role of Pennyman.
The late Song Young-kyu was found dead in a vehicle in an undisclosed location in Cheoin-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, around 8 a.m. on the 4th. He was 55 years old.
The late Song Young-kyu was caught driving drunk about 5 kilometers in an intoxicated state in an undisclosed location in Giheung-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, on the night of June 19. Police were dispatched following a witness report at the time of the incident, and the tests conducted at the scene revealed a blood alcohol concentration at the level that warrants license suspension (over 0.08%).
Amid the controversy, the late Song Young-kyu withdrew from the play "Shakespeare in Love" on the 25th of last month when the incident became public, and the producers of the ENA drama "The Defects" and the SBS drama "Try" decided to edit the content as much as possible without affecting the flow of the works.
Park Joo-hyun expressed heartfelt condolences upon hearing the news of the late Song Young-kyu, with whom she shared the stage. Notably, Park Joo-hyun fell into deep sorrow again at a time less than a month after parting with her Hanbok School classmate and actor, the late Kang Seo-ha.
