Veteran Korean theatre actor Yoon Seok-hwa passed away at the age of 69 after a long battle with a brain tumour. According to members of the theatre community, she breathed her last at 9:54 AM on the December 19th at Sinchon Severance Hospital in Seoul, surrounded by her family and close friends. Yoon was diagnosed with the illness in 2022, just months after attending a public rehearsal of the play Hamlet. She underwent major surgery later that year but chose not to pursue anticancer treatment. Instead, she opted for natural therapy and strict dietary care. Widely regarded as a pioneer of Korean theatre’s first generation, Yoon Seok-hwa leaves behind an unforgettable legacy through her iconic performances and lifelong dedication to the stage. Lee Soon Jae, South Korea’s Prolific Film, TV and Theatre Actor, Dies at 91; Funeral Details Inside.
