Voice actor Lee Jae-myung (78) has passed away. He is widely known for voicing 'Go Gildong' in the animation 'Dooly the Little Dinosaur.'
SUNGWOO Jung Sung-hoon posted on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on the 15th, expressing his condolences by writing, "I sincerely hope for the repose of senior Lee Jae-myung's soul." Born in 1946, Lee Jae-myung began his career as a stage actor before joining the KBS Voice Acting Troupe as part of its 13th class in 1971, starting his journey as a voice actor.
His voice left a deep impression on the public through numerous animations and dubbed foreign films. Notable works include 'Winnie the Pooh,' 'Super Board,' 'Dragon Ball,' 'Super Gureungjyo,' 'Dooly the Little Dinosaur,' 'Eunbi and Kkabi's Once Upon a Time,' 'Alice in Wonderland,' and 'The Jungle Book.' Famous dubbed foreign films include 'Good Will Hunting' and 'Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark.' In particular, his roles as 'Go Gildong' in the 1987 broadcast of 'Dooly the Little Dinosaur' and as 'Frieza' in the 2002 broadcast of 'Dragon Ball Z' are still regarded as his representative works.
The uniquely human character of Go Gildong and the cold yet charismatic voice of Frieza left a strong impression on animation fans. After retiring from active duty following the dubbing of 'Jurassic Park III' in 2005, Lee Jae-myung has worked hard for the welfare of cultural artists and nurturing future generations.
