South Korean Actor Lee Sang-Bo Passes Away at 44

Lee Sang-bo, who recently reopened his acting career and ran a restaurant, was found dead at home; authorities report no signs of foul play amid ongoing investigation.

  • South Korean actor Lee Sang-bo died at age 44, his agency Korea Management Group confirmed on Friday, March 27. The agency declined to disclose the cause of death.
  • Debuting in 2006 with 'Invisible Man Choi Jang-su', Lee appeared in dramas including 'Bad Love', 'Rugal', and 'Graceful Empire' before recently opening a meat restaurant in Pyeongtaek.
  • Lee faced professional turbulence in 2022 during a drug investigation, which was dismissed with a 'no charge' ruling after forensic analysis confirmed he was taking prescribed medication for depression.

  • Friends and patrons described Lee as a 'friendly neighbour', with his meat restaurant temporarily closed following his death as his cousin expressed grief over the loss.
