Veteran South Korean actor Song Young-kyu, aged 55, was found dead early today in a parked car in Cheoin-gu, Yongin, just south of Seoul. According to police, he was discovered around 8 a.m. by an acquaintance, with no signs of foul play or suicide at the scene.
The sudden death comes only weeks after a highly publicised drunk-driving incident that saw him referred to prosecution and removed from multiple acting projects. With no immediate cause established, the entertainment industry and fans are grappling with shock, unanswered questions and a deep sense of loss.
