Voice actress Lee Woo-ri, who brought joy and emotion with her voice, has been gone for two years.
March 14, 2026, is the second anniversary of the death of the late Lee Woo-ri. She died on March 14, 2024. She was 24 years old at the time of her death.
The news of Lee Woo-ri's death became known after her passing, making it even more heartbreaking. Voice actress Lee Dal-rae said, "We inform you that our Tooniverse 11th class's precious youngest member, voice actress Lee Woo-ri, passed away on March 14." The news was made public two days after the late person's death.
Lee Dal-rae said, "In the face of this sudden and heartbreaking news, it is not easy for fellow voice actors and those involved to hide their sorrow. At the request of the bereaved family, we convey the late person's final news, who always cherished and loved her fans," and added, "To all the fans who loved voice actress Lee Woo-ri and remember her acting, please join us in praying that our beloved classmate Woo-ri may rest in peace there."
What makes the news of Lee Woo-ri's death more heartbreaking is that it came just before she was to switch from being a Tooniverse exclusive voice actor to a freelance voice actor. Voice actor Nam Do-hyung mourned with the fixed comment "Thank you, truly," and Alejandro Saab, the North American voice actor for Genshin Impact, said, "I am so sad." Genshin Impact's official social media account and official cafe also posted a tribute saying, "We sincerely thank voice actress Lee Woo-ri, who lent Cyno such a beautiful voice. In honoring voice actress Lee Woo-ri, we extend our deepest condolences."
Born in 2000, Lee Woo-ri joined the CJ E&M Voice Acting Troupe as part of its 11th class in 2021. Noted as the youngest voice actor at age 21 at the time, Lee Woo-ri became known after voicing Cyno in the game Genshin Impact, and she also performed in animations such as Crayon Shin-chan and Detective Conan, as well as games like Cookie Run: Kingdom and Dungeon & Fighter.
