Actor Song Young-kyu has passed away, leaving behind a void for those who remain.
On the morning of the 6th, the funeral service for the late Song Young-kyu was held at the Yongin Davos Hospital, amidst deep sorrow from family and fellow actors. Mourning guests arrived early in the morning to pay their respects to the deceased, who passed away on the 4th, and the service was quietly conducted at 8 a.m. The burial site is known to be the Hambaeksan Memorial Park.
Song Young-kyu, who passed away at the age of 55, was a veteran actor who showcased a strong presence from the stage to the screen and drama. His passing has shocked the entire entertainment industry, and fellow entertainers who worked with him expressed their condolences on social media.
Ryu Seung-soo reminisced, saying, "We often acted as if we were competing when we met, and we had great chemistry. Hyung, you've worked hard all this time! Now rest easy!" Lee Jong-hyuk shared a photo from the wake and wrote, "This is frustrating. Did you hate the world that much? I'm disappointed that you were weak. I really didn't expect this." Lee Jae-yong said, "It's even more heartbreaking because we could see a bright future."
Jung Tae-woo conveyed heartfelt sorrow, stating, "He was an older brother who often expressed his love," while musical actor Hwang Man-ik said, "My Young-kyu shouldn't be like this... Even when he was struggling, he always cared for his juniors and gave us courage with his smile... I will miss you, Hyung," as tears welled in his eyes.
Jang Hyuk-jin also said, "Hyung... you must have been very scared and worried. I wish I had called you... The world is really... Goodbye, you were such a good person to me. Let's meet again later," offering a final farewell that brought tears to many. Under the photo of the deceased posted by Jang Hyuk-jin, Lee Si-eon left a comment saying, "ㅠㅠ It's so heartbreaking ㅠㅠ," adding to the deep sadness.
Lee Joo-young sent a message to the sky, saying, "I first met you as the father of Su-in in 'Baseball Girl,' and naturally started calling you 'Abuji' during this 'Shein Love' as well. Today's performance went well thanks to you, senior. I already miss and long for you."
Song Young-kyu, who debuted in 1994 in the children's musical 'Mertel Dosa,' built a solid acting foundation on stage and left a deep impression in notable works such as the film 'Extreme Job,' dramas 'Stove League,' 'Suriname,' and 'Casino.' Known for his strong presence as a reliable supporting actor, he was on the verge of a greater leap but reportedly experienced pain after it was revealed late last June that he had been caught driving under the influence, leading him to withdraw from several productions.
He was ultimately found dead in a vehicle in Cheoin-gu, Yongin, at around 8 a.m. on the 4th. He was 55 years old. His posthumous works include the pre-produced dramas 'The Defects' and 'The Winning Try.' The production team stated, "We plan to continue broadcasting with minimal footage remaining to respect the deceased."
