On December 27, 48-year-old Lee Sun Kyun was found dead in an apparent suicide in Seoul. It was amid his battle with the drug scandal that his name got dragged along with other celebrities and influential people.

Lee Sun Kyun left an alleged suicide note as his last message to his wife, actress Jeon Hye Jin, stating that he "cannot do anything else" and that "there is no other way but this."

He also sent a message to his management agency, apologizing due to the "overwhelming" penalties for breaching advertising and movie contracts brought by the scandal.

Lee Sun Kyun is known for his hit K-dramas "Coffee Prince" with Gong Yoo and Yoon Eun Hye, as well as the rom-com "Pasta" and the webtoon-based series "Dr. Brain."

His 20-year-long career made him a household name and rose to international fame after joining the cast of the Oscar-winner movie "Parasite."
