The death of a celebrity can be just as tragic and devastating as the death of a loved one. These famous celebs have not only brought entertainment and joy into people’s lives but also motivate and encourage fans to achieve their dreams.
When that source of light and inspiration is gone, it feels like a part of us has been taken away as well. South Korean comedian Lee Ji Soo (이지수) was reported to have passed away yesterday (Tuesday, 11th July). She was 30 years old.
According to many Korean news outlets, the cause of the comedian’s death has yet to be disclosed to the public. It was said that many of her colleagues and comedian friends were shocked and deeply saddened to receive the news of her sudden passing. At the time of writing, no one who personally knew the artist has publicly paid tribute to her on social media.
Fans also waiting for the public figure’s family to release their personal statement regarding her untimely death. Information about her funeral, however, has been released to the public. According to reports, the service will be held tomorrow (Thursday, 13th July) in Room 2 of the Shinhwa Funeral Hall in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul.
Shortly after news broke out, fans flooded her Instagram account to pay their respects to the late star and offered their condolences to her loved ones. Some reminisce about the times they enjoyed watching the comedian’s performances both on stage and on TV and thanked her for the laughs.
