News Of Actor Park Dong Bin’s Death Causes Immense Sorrow As Netizens Recall The Struggles Of His Daughter

After Park Dong Bin’s passing news was reported, his story about his daughter regained attention and sympathy from netizens.

The actor, who debuted with the 1998 film ‘Shiri,’ is a veteran actor who starred in major works such as ‘Yain Shidae,’ ‘Immortal Admiral Yi Sun-sin,’ and ‘The King and I.’ To the public, he left a huge impact with the ‘juice waterfall’ scene in the 2012 morning drama ‘It Seems Like We Loved Each Other,’ where he spat out orange juice upon hearing shocking news. Until recently, he had been actively continuing his activities with consistent appearances in various dramas such as ‘Brave Yong Soo-jung,’ which makes the sudden news of his passing even more shocking.

Above all, the reason his death is even more painful is because of his 3-year-old daughter he left behind. Park Dong Bin married actress Lee Sang-i, 11 years his junior, whom he met through the 2018 drama ‘Enemies From a Past Life,’ after dating for two years in February 2020. At the time, he was 50 years old, and he embraced his first daughter three years into the marriage at age 52, enjoying the joy of becoming a late-in-life father.

However, behind the couple’s joy lay unspeakable pain. Earlier, the couple appeared together on a variety program and confessed that their daughter suffers from a congenital complex heart defect.

Despite their daughter’s illness, the couple did not lose their power of positivity. Since their daughter needed one final surgery when she turned three years old, the couple devoted themselves to caring for their child with selfless love, earnestly praying only for her health recovery. Also, Park Dong-bin, who was a novice father at 54, sometimes got mistaken for a grandfather when going out with his daughter and felt hurt, but he showed his ‘daughter fool’ side, cherishing his daughter more than anyone.

Park Dong Bin, who silently endured for his sick daughter and was about to open a restaurant to fulfill his responsibilities as the head of household, has passed away leaving behind his young daughter and wife. A wave of condolences and mourning from the public continues over his sudden death. Voices of support for the remaining wife Lee Sang-i are also increasing.

May his soul rest in peace.
