“Parasite” director Boon Joon-ho led a press conference in Seoul on Friday, following the death by suicide of actor Lee Sun-kyun at the end of December.
Lee, who starred in “Parasite,” had been investigated by police in Incheon for possible recreational use of drugs and was at the center of a maelstrom of media and social media commentary for the two months prior to his death.
Backed by a formidable collection of artists, cultural organizations and trade associations, Bong called for an investigation into the police methods and for established media to reflect on the sensationalist coverage which may have contributed to Lee’s decision to take his own life. Public broadcaster Kbs was singled out for particular criticism.
“Clear legislative improvements are needed to ensure that principles and exceptions are not reversed between the human rights of suspects and the public’s right to know, and that investigative authorities...

In the 2018 Korean drama My Mister, Lee Sun-kyun stars as a man who seems to have it all — a stable career, the respect of his colleagues and a loving family — but is in actuality burdened by the pressures of providing for his loved ones and employees while navigating an extortion scheme and suspicions of a workplace affair. Beset with a melancholic disposition, at one point he stumbles on some train tracks and contemplates remaining there. It’s a fleeting thought but a poignant moment in the critically acclaimed series, which won best drama at the Baeksang Arts Awards and was a highlight in Lee’s notable career.
That Lee — one of Korea’s most popular actors who earned worldwide mainstream recognition through Parasite — would be involved in any sort of real-life scandal was nearly unthinkable. He had been married (to actress Jeon Hye-jin) almost as long as he’d been famous,...

Lee Sun-kyun allegedly died by suicide on December 27, 2023. He was found unconscious in Seoul, and police found burning charcoal briquettes in his car. His wife, Jeon Hye-jin, informed the police about a suicide note that she found at their home. New details have been revealed, and below are the details of his heartbreaking last note!
In October 2023, Lee was booked for internal investigation over alleged drug abuse. The initial test using hair samples resulted negative.

Sun-kyun later requested the officials to conduct an additional lie detector test to prove his innocence.

Chicago – The world was rocked on December 27th, 2023, when the report came through that South Korean (Sk) actor Lee Sun-kyun – who had a prominent role in the 2019 Oscar Best Picture “Parasite’ – had died from an apparent suicide in Seoul (Sk), months after his appearance during Closing Night at Chicago’s Asian Pop-Up Cinema (Apuc), where he represented his outrageous new comedy, “Killing Romance.” His apparent suicide was on the heels of government pressure due to his alleged drug consumption. Lee Sun-kyun was 48.
After beginning his career in musical theatre, Lee was relegated to minor and supporting roles onscreen as he began in TV and film. His breakthrough was in Sk TV’s “Coffee Prince” and the medical drama “Behind the White Tower,” both in 2007. He gained more popularity with “My Mister,” (2018) which is currently on Netflix.

South Korean actor Lee Sun-kyun, best known for his role in the Oscar-winning film “Parasite,” has died in an apparent suicide, South Korean police told NBC News on December 27. He was 48.
Lee’s body was discovered December 27 by authorities in his car parked on a street in northern Seoul. Police were searching for Lee after his family reported him missing, per NBC News. A cause of death hasn’t officially been ruled upon, but Lee reportedly left a message similar to a suicide note before his disappearance, and a charcoal briquette, commonly used in South Korea to induce suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning, was discovered in the passenger seat.
In the U.S., Lee was best known for his work in Bong Joon-Ho’s 2019 class satire “Parasite.” In the film, Lee plays Park Dong-ik, a wealthy man whose family is unknowingly the target of a poorer family’s schemes for employment.

2023 has taken many beloved actors from us and, in a shocking development, one more name has been added to the list to close out the year. Lee Sun-kyun, the actor best known to Western audiences for playing the role of wealthy family patriarch Dong Ik in director Bong Joon-ho's hit film "Parasite," sadly passed away Wednesday morning in Seoul (local time). The circumstances of the tragedy are complicated by a nationwide crackdown on illicit drug use in South Korea, which has led to allegations and investigations involving several high-profile public figures, including Lee. According to the New York Times, the death is being treated as a suicide. He was only 48 years old.
Although he rose to prominence internationally for starring in the Best Picture-winning film in 2019, Lee had built up a strong and successful career in both television and film throughout the years leading up to his breakthrough performance.
