Actor Kang Seo-ha died Monday after a battle with cancer. She was 31.
A close acquaintance of Kang shared the news on social media, posting a tribute to her. “Eonni (older close friend), I hope you’re happy and pain-free up there. I miss you so much.”
The acquaintance described Kang as someone who remained thoughtful and kind even while enduring immense pain.
“Even while relying on painkillers, she kept saying she was grateful things weren’t worse. I felt ashamed hearing that,” the post said. “She suffered so much. I hope she finds only happiness now.”
Her wake is being held at Room 8 of the funeral hall at Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital in Banpo-dong.
Kang made her debut in 2012 in a music video. She went on to appear in a number of TV dramas, including “Assembly,” “The Flower in Prison,” “First Love Again” and “Nobody Knows.”
