By Park Si-soo
Fashion model Kim Min-seung, who had his heyday in the 1990s, has died, his agency said on Thursday. He was 47.
The cause was unknown. His death was revealed two days after his funeral was held at Ajou University Hospital's funeral house on Tuesday.
In a 2007 interview, Kim revealed he had suffered from an unspecified disease for five years after he made his debut as a model and the suffering drove him to switch his career to acting. It's uncertain if his sudden death had any link to the disease.
Kim made his modeling debut in 1994 and featured in several films and plays.
