Investigation team leader Kim Sang-soon died while battling lung cancer..10th anniversary of heartbreak that even Choi Bulam went



The 10th anniversary of the veteran actor Kim Sang-soon, who was one of the main characters of the unprecedented hit drama 'Investigation Team Leader' in the 1970s, has returned.

In 2015, Kim Sang-soon was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer at the time and was treated at a hospital, discharged from the hospital, and closed her eyes while recuperating at home. He was 78.

Kim Sang-soon, who began her career as a theater actor in 1954, became a voice actor on MBC radio in 1961 and enjoyed great popularity with Choi Bul-am in 1971 with the popular drama 'Investigation Team Leader'.




Kim Sang-soon, who has shown solid acting skills by appearing on KBS 'Love of the Daechu Tree', also showed her still potential by appearing as an armed senior of Goguryeo in the SBS historical drama drama 'Yeon Gaesomun'.

With the departure of Kim Sang-soon following Cho Kyung-hwan in 2012, only Choi Bul-am remains among the three warriors of 'Investigation Team Leader'. At that time, Choi Bul-am told Sports Chosun that it is not usually uncomfortable to send even Kim Sang-soon. I sent four people ahead of me. I wonder if I'm guilty"I couldn't hide my sorrow.

He didn't even know that the deceased was fighting the disease. Choi Bul-am was a person who didn't drink or smoke during the investigation, so he didn't even know lung cancer. He hasn't even expressed his feelings on the phone recently. 'My legs hurt. Let's take a look, but that was the last conversation.'
