Here's a sad little update I can do now as my next KUP update is very small. I had been planning to save these until doing updates for each person, but they won't be for a long time and it's better that the info be out there and to get the unpleasantness out of the way.

These are four Korean actors that are on the HKMDB but have sadly passed since their pages were last updated. I've added the date of their passing, as well as their DOB and some aliases.

Losing Park was a bitter pill to swallow, probably one of the most recognisable faces of Korean action, he was in a huge number of Korean martial arts films and cross-overs, so much so that his face is probably known to even the most casual fans of Asian action. He'll be missed but he lives on forever through his films.

RIP
