Singer Shin Jung-hwan Pays Tribute to Late Actor Ahn Sung-ki
On the 5th, Shin Jung-hwan shared on his social media account, "I happened to switch channels and came across a dubbed black-and-white film featuring Ahn Sung-ki in his 20s. Watching his performance, I was captivated until the end. Despite the likely limited filming equipment, the cinematography and the actors' performances left a deep impression and enjoyment. I remember searching for the film's title and looking up the production team. His unique acting and voice... A true national actor with the gentle and handsome face of an uncle or father. May he watch over us with that serene smile from the heavens... Rest in peace #TheDwarfWhoShotTheSmallBalloon," expressing his condolences.
Ahn Sung-ki, who was battling blood cancer, passed away at 9 a.m. on this day in the ICU of Soonchunhyang University Hospital in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, surrounded by his family. He was 74 years old.
Ahn Sung-ki's memorial will be held in Room 31 of the Seoul St. Mary's Hospital Funeral Hall. The funeral service will take place on January 9th at 6 a.m. His final resting place will be Byeolgrida in Yangpyeong.
