Actor Park Jung-ja (83) recently sent a special invitation to 150 close acquaintances.
The invitation, titled "'Obituary (訃告): Park Jung-ja's Last Curtain Call', contains "bring a memory instead of a flower." Bring my last voice you heard, my favorite lines, old stories and light jokes, the moment we laughed together." The time and place of the funeral are also embedded at Sunpo Beach in Sandaewol-ri, Sacheon-myeon, Gangneung-si, at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 25, 2025. "I'm posting Park Jung-ja, an actor with love and cheers." was written.
On the 13th, Park Jung-ja said in a phone call with the Chosun Ilbo that "These days, we are filming a movie about aging and death centering on a female actor, and we invited our friends to join us in the last scene of the funeral and bonus shoot at Gangneung Beach."
Then "That scene, which will be filmed at Sunpo Beach on the 25th, will be the highlight of the movie." You'll never see anything like this in your life. I'm doing something that no one has ever done, haha."
Park Jung-ja seems to have invited acquaintances to a 'pre-funeral' held to film a movie.
He is starring in the fifth feature film Between Cheongmyeong and Gokwoo, directed by Yoo Jun-sang (56), better known as an actor.
Park Jung-ja "Since last spring, I've been talking on the phone almost every day, and director Yoo Jun-sang listened to my life and wrote the scenario himself, and he wrote it really well. I think we filmed about 80 percent of the time"It's not true, but it contains a lot of stories that remind me of myself", he explained.
Director Yoo Jun-sang, who answered the phone while filming at Gangneung Beach, said, `I wanted to express the various emotions of the actor who was about to die and the moment of death, but I first contacted Park Jung-ja through an acquaintance in winter.'"I thought that every word could resonate greatly with many people through the teacher who walked on a regular basis."."
It is also a story about an actor who has lived remembering all his life losing his memory and being forgotten. 'Cheers to the living!' When you do it, you really feel the importance of life, and when you talk about death in preparation, you feel the desperation."
Park Jung-ja is said to have invited various cultural figures from their 30s to 80s to the funeral, including Kim Dong-ho, Jung Ji-young, director Son Jin-chaek, producer Park Myung-sung, singer Jang Sa-ik, and actors Kang Bu-ja, Son Sook, Song Seung-hwan, and Yang Hee-kyung.
Meanwhile, Park Jung-ja is an elder actor who debuted in 1962 with the play Pedra and appeared in a total of 160 plays, including 'Women in Crisis' and 'Agnes of God'.
He is also active as a voice actor. Disney praised him for dubbing the role of Usla in the animation Little Mermaid with a charismatic voice.
In addition, he narrated in the trailer of the movie Parasite, which captivated the world, including the Academy Award for Best Picture, and left an intense presence even with a short appearance.
