He was 74 years ago and in good health, but fell ill and into a coma five days ago after reportedly choking on food. It is likely that his funeral will be star-studded, and many of Korea’s top male actors are said to be pallbearers for him. He’s been too many movies and dramas to count and his face will immediately be recognized in Korea and even abroad since the proliferation of the Hallyu wave. Rest in peace to this great actor and by all accounts a great man as he’s very well loved and respected within the industry as a person with character.
