According to a report from Hankyung on December 29, actors attending the SBS Drama Awards tonight are planning to follow a black dress code to pay tribute to the late Lee Sun Kyun
SBS representatives responded to the media, clarifying that the organizers didn’t specify a dress code, but one actor took the initiative to suggest wearing black to the event.
Following this, other artists collectively decided to embrace the black dress code for their appearance on the red carpet.
A representative from one actor’s team shared with the media, “We got wind of the black dress code on the afternoon of December 27, right after the passing of Lee Sun Kyun. It’s common for male actors to wear black suits on the red carpet without much ado. As for actresses, I believe they might need some time to prepare their outfits.”
On December 27, Korean media reported the passing of Lee Sun Kyun in his parked car near Waryong Park, Jongno District, Seoul. According to sources, actress Jeon Hye Jin discovered the farewell letter left by her husband Lee Sun Kyun and promptly reported it to the police, but unfortunately, she couldn’t prevent her husband’s tragic death.
The funeral for Lee Sun Kyun took place at Seoul National University Hospital in South Korea. On December 27-28, numerous stars, including Jung Woo Sung, Lee Jung Jae, Ha Jung Woo, Jeon Do Yeon, Siwon, Jo Jung Suk, Yoo Yeon Seok, Lee Sung Min, Yoon Kye Sang, came to bid their final farewell to the late actor on his last journey.
