SEOUL, Aug 4 — South Korean actor Song Young-kyu, 55, was found dead on Sunday morning, according to a report by MBN.
He was discovered unconscious in a vehicle parked at a townhouse in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, around 8am. An acquaintance found him and alerted police, who have launched an investigation.
Last month, Song was booked without detention for driving under the influence after a night out in Yongin. His blood alcohol level was above 0.08 per cent, leading to the revocation of his license and his removal from the stage production Shakespeare in Love.
Song was also known for roles in popular dramas such as Narco-Saints, Big Bet, Hyena and Partners for Justice.
