Popular broadcaster Yoo Jae-suk paid his respects to the late actress Kim Su-mi at her funeral.
On the afternoon of the 25th, Yoo visited the funeral hall at Hanyang University Hospital in Seongdong-gu, Seoul. Dressed in a black suit and appearing somber, he walked quickly into the funeral home. Alongside Yoo, several other celebrities, including actors Shin Hyun-joon, Choi Ji-woo, and Yeom Jeong-ah, also attended to honor Kim Su-mi.
Kim Su-mi was rushed to Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital earlier that morning in a state of cardiac arrest but sadly passed away. The cause of death was known to be hyperglycemic shock due to diabetes-related complications. Her funeral will be held on the 27th at 11 AM, with burial planned at Yongin Park Honor Stone in Gyeonggi Province.
Born in 1949, Kim made her debut as a talent in 1970 and became a household name for her role as “Il-yong Um-ni” in the long-running MBC drama “Jeonwon Ilgi.” She also showcased her lively personality in MBC’s sitcom “Goodbye, Francesca” and various entertainment shows and films. Recently, she continued to charm audiences on KBS's "Sumi Mountain Lodge" and tvN's "Sumi's Side Dishes," and she appeared on the tvN STORY variety show "People of the Chairman" until September of this year.
