Actor Lee Joo-young commemorated the late Song Young-kyu.
On the 6th, Lee Joo-young posted a message and a photo on her social media account story, saying, "The 'Baseball Girl' Soo-in first met her father and naturally started calling him 'Abuji' during this 'Shakespeare In Love'. Thanks to you, the performance today went well for everyone. I already miss and long for you."
In the released photo, Lee Joo-young is posing with actors including Song Young-kyu. Lee Joo-young and Song Young-kyu worked together in the film 'Baseball Girl' and later in the play 'Shakespeare In Love'. Their bond, having played a father-daughter relationship in 'Baseball Girl', continued, and they naturally formed a close relationship, calling each other 'father'.
However, with the passing of the late Song Young-kyu on the 4th, Lee Joo-young could not hide her heartbreaking feelings. Deeply saddened, Lee Joo-young said, "You were always a reliable and great presence for us. Please rest in peace," as she commemorated the deceased.
The late Song Young-kyu was caught driving under the influence around 5 km in the Giheung District of Yongin, Gyeonggi Province on the night of June 19. Police were dispatched after a witness reported, and his blood alcohol concentration was at license revocation level (above 0.08%).
As a result, he was edited out of the currently airing SBS drama 'Try: We Become Miracles' and ENA drama 'The Defects', and he left the play 'Shakespeare In Love'.
The late Song Young-kyu, who faced significant criticism for driving under the influence, was found dead in a car in a townhouse in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, around 8 a.m. on the 4th. He was 55 years old.
The late Song Young-kyu was laid to rest on the 6th, with the funeral service being held solemnly. Those who worked closely with him, including Lee Jong-hyuk, Lee Jae-yong, Song Il-kook, Jo Woo-jin, Jeong Seong-il, Choi Won-young, and Lee Kyu-hyung, mourned as they kept vigil for his final journey.
