Kim Jin-gu, the 9th anniversary of the actor who died while returning home from filming



Senior actor Kim Jin-gu's 9th anniversary is back.

In 2016, Kim Jin-gu died at a hospital in Pohang after collapsing from symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage while returning from filming KBS 2TV 'Humbly and fondly'.

At the time, a drama official said, `Kim Jin-gu appeared in a minor role as a neighborhood grandmother in 'Honestly and fondly'.'




After filming in Uljin, he was riding in another minor actor's car when he asked him to drop me off at Pohang Station. However, he seemed to be unwell at Pohang Station, so he called an ambulance and was taken to the hospital, and he underwent surgery well at the hospital. However, I heard that he died of shortness of breath while watching the progress because he had developed cerebral hemorrhage so far before and was weak due to his old age. It's a pity."

In response, 'Unhappily and fondly' said "The deceased's appearance is scheduled to appear once in the second half" "We plan to mourn the deceased through subtitles when it is broadcasted" and at the end of the broadcast "We pray for the deceased's repose, actor Kim Jin-gu." and mourned his death.

Kim Jin-gu, who debuted in 1971 with the 9th KBS open recruitment, was recognized as an acting actor by starring as Joo Joo-yeon in the films 'Oasis', 'Mokpo is a port', 'Kind Geumja-si', 'Mother', 'Doheeya', and 'Grandma' My Brother'.
