I have horrible sad news to share with K-ent fans – movie and drama actor Kim Joo Hyuk passed away on Monday October 30th in Seoul, Korea. The 45 year old top actor was driving to his home in Gangnam around 4:30 pm in the afternoon when he reportedly struck another car and his car flipped over before falling down a building stairwell and bursting into flames when it stopped. Kim Joo Hyuk was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead when he arrived.
This is shocking unbelievable news that will take time to sink in, not that accidents can’t happen but no one ever thinks it will strike and Kim Joo Hyuk just took home a Best Supporting Actor award for the movie Confidential Assignment in this past weekend’s new Seoul Awards, so he was very notably in the public eye and now two days later is gone. I will always remember him for being one of the least problematic male leads in Kim Eun Sook‘s drama for Lovers in Prague and his incredible film resume. Rest in peace, your works will live on and praying for your friends and family to process this sorrow.
Kim Joo Hyuk’s colleagues are in shock and mourning, and his entertainer girlfriend Lee Yoo Young reportedly found out about his passing while filming Running Man and has rushed back to Seoul. His most recent drama work was tvN series Argon with Chun Woo Hee that aired just last month. T__T He has two movies slated for 2018 in Heongbu and Deokjeon, and was cast in a special appearance for Hyun Bin‘s Joseon zombie movie Outbreak.

Too shocked and saddened by this news. RIP.

This is just horrible.His poor girlfriend.Cha Tae Hyun comes to mind as well.They were castmates on 2 days 1 Night..and this news..tomorrow he will most likely attend song song wedding since he is one of SJK's inner circle.They were just teasing KJH about marriage and kids on the show not too long ago..This is just sad.
Also how much worse can it get for namoo actors agency?They are labelmates with Chun Woo Hee.I can imagine how shocked she must be.They just uploaded his photo on instagram some three days ago celebrating his win at Seoul Awards.I heard he was the Namoo CEO's bestfriend.
RIP.
I watched just recently Argon and now I feel so empty and infinite amount of sadness. This was so sudden and unexpected, just two days ago I even read a news that Kim Joo Hyuk was going to marry Lee Yoo Young.
I really liked him. This is just terrible news, I hope his family and gf will be left alone to mourn in peace.
RIP
My deepest condolences to his family and close ones. I’m truly shocked by this news. He had myocardial infarction while driving which caused him to lose control of his vehicle. There was nothing that could have prevented this. I’m extremely sad for Lee Yoo Young to whom Kim Joo Hyuk was going to get married to. There are no words to describe the loss of this talented actor and a warm person. May he rest in peace.
