Actor Jeong Eun-woo suddenly passed away, and posts he left while alive are being reexamined.
On the 11th, according to the broadcasting industry and others, Jeong Eun-woo died at the age of 40. The cause of death has not been disclosed.
Born in 1986, Jeong Eun-woo played basketball at Incheon Songdo Middle School and Songdo High School but changed his career after injuries and because he was somewhat short for a basketball player. After debuting in the 2006 drama "Round 3," he appeared in the drama "Bride of the Sun," "Five Fingers," "A Well-raised Daughter," "The Return of Hwang Geum-bok," "My Only One," and in the films "Serial Wife," "Miss Changer," and "Memory: Manipulated Murder."
Jeong Eun-woo, who also appeared on the Andre Kim fashion show stage, won the SBS New Star Award at the 2012 SBS Drama Awards and the special acting award in the one-act special category at the 2013 SBS Drama Awards.
As actor Jeong Eun-woo suddenly passed away, social media posts he left while alive are also drawing attention. On the 10th, one day before his death, he uploaded a photo of actor Leslie Cheung and wrote "longing, envious, regretful..PIR.BG." It was significant that he posted a photo of Leslie Cheung even though it was not his anniversary, and many people's messages of mourning have followed.
In addition, his recent posts left many messages with a nuance full of longing, which is also meaningful. Five days ago he uploaded a photo of a red moon and wrote, "Red moon. Whether it's hanging or being hung, it will fall away anyway," and on Dec. 1, 2025, he uploaded a photo of Dongdaemun Market where he had his first part-time job and wrote, "I miss those days."
Because Jeong Eun-woo had been active up until a day before his death, posting on social media, many people are deeply saddened.
Meanwhile, Jeong Eun-woo's funeral hall has been set up in special room 2 at New Koryo Hospital Funeral Home in Gimpo, Gyeonggi, and the funeral rite is at 12 p.m. on the 13th.
