Lee Sun Gyun, the amazing actor from Parasite, passed away this morning (27th). They found him in his car in Seoul, unconscious, around 10:30 AM.
He was being looked into for using drugs since last October, but he always said it wasn't true. Just yesterday (26th), he asked the police for a lie detector test. On the 23rd, during his third meeting with the police, he said, "I hope they figure out who's telling the truth between me and the people accusing me."
His agency, HODU&U Entertainment, shared this after the actor passed away:
"We're really sad to tell you that Lee Sun Gyun passed away on December 27. We can't even express how much we're hurting. Please don't spread untrue stuff or be mean so he can rest in peace. The funeral will be quiet, with family and friends. Our deepest condolences."
If you or someone you know needs help, reach out to crisis and suicide prevention agencies in the United States and beyond.
We send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Lee Sun Gyun as they go through this difficult time.
