Many K-stars Attend Memorial Service for Kim Joo Hyuk Including Song Joong Ki From His Own Wedding

Its with a heavy heart that K-ent’s top celebrities and many more stars trickled in one after the other to pay their respects to their deceased colleague actor Kim Joo Hyuk who passed away in a car accident on October 30th. Funeral services in Korea are likely not unfamiliar for K-drama fans who’ve seen it portrayed onscreen so it involves friends and family arriving to greet the family, bow to the deceased, and later retreat to a dining area to eat and solemnly connect with others on the passing. Media was at the funeral parlor and snapped many big name stars arriving to say their farewell to Kim Joo Hyuk, most notably Song Joong Ki not because he’s the biggest star but solely because he just got married the day before to Song Hye Kyo and yet he still went to the memorial which is really an heartfelt gesture on his part since Korean culture is very superstitious especially with those getting married or having a baby needing to avoid funerals for bad luck. Kim Joo Hyuk had many good friends who all came to say goodbye, with some coming from Song Joong Ki’s wedding as well, including Cha Tae Hyun, Choi Ji Woo, Kim Hye Soo, Cha Seung Won, Kwon Sang Woo, and Haha

      • hes filming laws of the jungle and the producers claim that they cant reach the cast and crew due to the location so apparently he prob wont know till hes back on nov 5.

    but netizens have been calling bullshit saying how they prob didnt contact him cause they want him to finish filming for the ep.

      • No, thanks for telling me. I was wondering how in this day and age someone, especially someone as attached to their phone as jjy, could not be contactable or able to keep up the news on the net. I take it the show is in a remote location. Though I’m inclined to believe the netizens cos it really is hard to find somewhere that remote. They probably have some sort of link , you’d hope, for emergencies. But ugh what a horrible thing to do if it is true

  2. The news that JJY is unreachable due no cell connections what about satellite cell. The crew most have one when they travel overseas to remote areas. You will think they go prepare when they travel. If not shame on SBS not providing the basic surviving equipment to the crew and staff.

    On a different note my heart breaks everytime a see pics or videos about the passing of KJH. What a shock. So sad.

  3. Kim Joo Hyuk last acting award is for best supporting actor in the movie Confidential Assignment.The director, his co-stars Hyun Bin, Yoo Hae jin and Yoona came to pay their respect.

    All the members of 1 Day 2 Nights, Defconn, Donggu, Junho, Jong Min, Cha Tae Hyun were at his wake looking devastated! But poor JJY can’t be reached as he is filming in some remote island.

    Today is the funeral and I am sure there won’t be a single dry eye from people sending him off. Someone take good care of LYY, it would be tough for her today.

    R.I.P Kim Joo Hyuk.

  4. This is just so sad.. rip.

    @ppl wondering about jjy – apparently there was a fire at cook island which damaged their cellular services. They are saying it’ll take 3 weeks to resume services. Either way, they gave notified jjy and trying to get him to Seoul. I hope he reaches on time and is able to pay his respects. He’ll be so heartbroken if he isn’t able to.

  5. But what about the big ones – Ha Jung Woo, Byung Hun Lee, Gong Yoo – they did not turn up at all. Even the director he worked with last – Hong Sang Soo didn’t not come; as well other well known directors – Park Chan Wook, Kim Jee Woon Joon Ho Bong.

    Cha Tae Hyun was sweet, escorting ppl in and out. He was the one who stayed all the while I guess..

    • Cth is such a sweet and loyal friend ever. He’s like a family for kjh.

      I wonder about the director and ha jung woo since they worked together in lovers in Prague. And the female lead didnt come too, or did i miss seeing her in some videos?

      Sjk is such a nice man.

      I understand why shk didnt come. I didnt see any idol. Not also reply 88 youngsters.
