The 12th anniversary of Nam Chul, the Korean comedy master, is back. He was 79.

In 2013, Nam Chul died of renal failure caused by complications of diabetes and high blood pressure.

At that time, my wife suddenly became ill on May 20 and was hospitalized, but she eventually died of renal failure on the 21st. Although his health has deteriorated a lot since March, he has been doing well in his daily life."




Nam Chul is a comedian who was famous for his time as a duo with male men and made his debut as a TBC comedian in 1972.

Since then, the male man has lived in Namcheol's mortuary by relying on him like a brother he literally has, but he leaves without saying anything, which is very painful to me. I really don't know how to live in the future," he said, struggling.

In addition, Gu Bong-seo "Namcheol is a junior right below." It is a great loss to the Korean comedy world that these juniors leave one by one."

Lee Byung-jin, a junior, also "I have sad news. Senior comedian Nam Chul has left. He was a senior who gave me strength. May he rest in peace.," he wrote in condolence.




Nam Chul received the Presidential Medal of the 2nd Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards in 2011 and the Minister of Culture and Tourism Medal of the 7th Korea Entertainment and Arts Awards in 2000.
