Kang Soo-yeon died on May 7, 2022, at the age of 55 at Gangnam Severance Hospital in Seoul. Two days before his death, the deceased was found in cardiac arrest at his home in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and was taken to a hospital, but he was diagnosed with a cerebral hemorrhage and failed to regain consciousness.
Kang Soo-yeon caused even more regret at the time, as she was about to return to the Netflix movie 'Jeongi' for the first time in nine years. The film was released in January 2023, eight months after her death. 'Jeongi', which drew attention for its appearance itself, will remain Kang Soo-yeon's last acting and posthumous work.
Kang Soo-yeon, who was born in 1966, debuted as a child actor at the age of four and was the face of the Korean film industry in the 1980s and 1990s. In particular, he won the Best Actress Award at the Venice International Film Festival through director Lim Kwon-taek's film 『Seedbab" (1986), becoming the first Korean actor to win the Best Actor Award at the world's top three film festivals. Since then, he has established himself as a world star in name and reality by winning the Best Actress Award at the Moscow International Film Festival for his work 'Aze Aze Baraje' (1989).
