Actor Jeong Eun-woo's sudden death has shocked many, and a post he left on social media shortly before his death is drawing attention belatedly, leaving viewers with heavy hearts.
According to the broadcasting industry and others, Jeong Eun-woo died on the 11th at the age of 40. The cause of death has not been revealed.
On the 10th, one day before his death, Jeong Eun-woo posted a photo on his Instagram with the brief caption "GREE envious, regretful.." The published photo contained an image of the late Hong Kong legend Leslie Cheung during his lifetime. This final post reminds fans of the tragic commonality between the two actors and deepens their sorrow.
The biggest commonality is that the goodbyes came without warning. Leslie Cheung died suddenly on April 1, 2003, like an April Fools' Day lie, plunging fans around the world into mourning. His death at the time sent a shock beyond Hong Kong to all of Asia, and many still commemorate him every April 1.
Jeong Eun-woo also reportedly died suddenly on the 11th, just before the Lunar New Year holiday, at the young age of 40. The specific cause has not been revealed, but it is hard for fans who expected him to be actively working to believe. The fact that the last photo he posted happened to be of Leslie Cheung, a symbol of "sudden parting," invites speculation about the loneliness and feelings he may have felt in his final moments.
The short phrase Jeong Eun-woo left, "GREE envious, regretful," became his final words. Fans are cautiously mourning and speculating whether the "envy" he mentioned was directed at Leslie Cheung, who lived like a flame, or whether it referred to the eternal rest he now enjoys.
Born in 1986, Jeong Eun-woo debuted in 2006 with the drama 'Sharp 3' and was loved for delivering steady performances in major works such as 'Smile, Dong-hae', 'The Sun's Bride', and 'My Only One'.
Meanwhile, the late's wake has been set up at Gimpo New Goryeo Hospital funeral hall, and the funeral procession is at 12 p.m. on the 13th.
