It’s with a sad heart to hear the news that K-actress Kang Soo Yeon has passed away. She suffered what was reportedly a stroke in her home three days ago and when the paramedics arrived she was in cardiac arrest as well. She was rushed to the hospital and has been undergoing medical treatment but unfortunately it was not enough and she passed away today. She was the first Korean actor or actress to win a Best Acting prize at an international level film festival back in 1987 and again in 1989, and with over three dozen movies and two headlining classic K-dramas under her belt she was much better known in South Korea than with this modern Hallyu wave. My condolences to her family and friends on her passing. She has a posthumous project the Netflix movie Jung-E which has already wrapped filming.
