Actress Nam Yoo Jung passes away

On August 1st, veteran actress Nam Yoon Jung was found dead in her home in Yeouido by her daughter.

Police suspected Nam Yoo Jung committed suicide as the actress had been having emotional difficulties since the death of her husband last year and had been receiving treatment for depression.

Although the police are viewing the death as suicide, Nam Yoo Jung’s family has claimed that it was due to overwork. According to her family members, the cause of her death was due to extreme exhaustion causing a heart attack.

In addition, Nam Yoon Jung’s older brother has pleaded with the media to stop spreading false rumors about how the actress died of suicide. However, some people speculated that Nam Yoonjung’s family is denying suicide as the cause of death due to consideration for the deceased’s reputation.

Meanwhile, many have posted messages through SNS and the internet to convey their condolences. They expressed, “Another good actress has left us just like this”, “Didn’t she say she will take good care of her health”.

Born in 1954, Nam Yoon Jung filmed for over 30 Korean dramas, including KBS’s “Love and Marriage,” MBC’s “White Tower” and “Dangerous Woman” and JTBC’s “A Wife’s Credentials.”
