Tributes continued into the second day for actor the late Jeong Eun-woo, who left a post that seemed to hint at a farewell and suddenly passed away.
On the 11th, according to the broadcasting industry and others, Jeong Eun-woo died at the age of 40 that day. The cause of death has not been disclosed.
The reason Jeong Eun-woo's death news was more shocking was because it was sudden. Until just one day before his death, Jeong Eun-woo uploaded photos of the late actor Leslie Cheung and the late pop singer Amy Winehouse to his social media account and left the words "miss you, envious, regretful.. PIR BG."
However, interpretations have followed that this post and 'PIR BG' were signals hinting at Jeong Eun-woo's sudden death. Leslie Cheung and Amy Winehouse were representative figures who suddenly passed away, and if you interpret 'PIR BG' backwards, it is an abbreviation of 'Good Bye Rest In Peace.' From this, speculation has continued that Jeong Eun-woo sent a signal hinting at his fate.
Pop artist Nancy Lang, who left a comment on this post, mourned, "Eun-woo! I just heard the news. I didn't know these photos were signals the day before, and my heart hurts so much, I am sad and numb. Why were you so burdened? Rest peacefully in heaven, Eun-woo. I offer my deepest condolences."
Actor and sports trainer Byeon Geon-woo mourned, "Goodbye Eun-woo. You went through so much. We worked out together, lived together, laughed, cried and made noise together — what was so urgent that you left first? I hope you find happiness with your handsome face and great body. You worked hard," and novelist So Jae-won also mourned, "Eun-woo! The reply to the last message you sent me came too late," adding, "You must have wanted to tell me the hard things, right? What was I so busy with to send such a late reply? Living so close to each other, why was it so hard to see each other's faces? In regret, I'm coming to see you now!"
Not only colleagues in the entertainment industry but ordinary fans have continued to pay tribute. On Jeong Eun-woo's last social media post, memorial messages such as "Seeing the photos of those who have all passed away, were you preparing something? Rest peacefully where you have gone," "My heart really hurts suddenly," "Go to a good place," "May you be at peace there," "I can't believe it," "I was so shocked to hear the news," "What was it that made you suffer so much?" and "I feel choked up hoping someone would notice that signal" have been left.
Born in 1986, Jeong Eun-woo played basketball at Incheon Songdo Middle School and Songdo High School but changed career paths due to injury and a somewhat short height for a basketball player. He debuted in 2006 in the drama 'Jump 3' and appeared in the dramas 'Bride of the Sun', 'Five Fingers', 'One Well-Raised Daughter', 'Return of Golden Bok', 'My Only One', and in the films 'Serial Wife', 'Miss Changer', and 'Memory: Manipulated Murder.'
The late's wake was set up in special room 2 at New Goryeo Hospital Funeral Hall in Gimpo, Gyeonggi Province, and the funeral rite will be held at 12 p.m. on the 13th.
