South Korean actor, Cho Min Ki, accused of sexual harassment, left the world in apparent suicide attempt. He was 53 years old. His last farewell seemed lonely and abandoned from the world in which he was loved by once.
The ceremony was held solemnly at the funeral hall of Konkuk University Hospital at 6:00 am on March 12th. Originally, it was scheduled at 6:30 am, but it was pulled for 30 minutes earlier.
On this day, the deceased's wife Kim Sun Jin and other bereaved family members, acquaintances, and colleagues said good bye to Cho. While his son was holding the tablets of the deceased, acquaintances close to his family put a casket in the funeral car. The remains of the deceased will be placed at the Seoul Memorial Park.
About 10 journalist gathered at the scene. On April 9, the deceased's bereaved families refused to comment or any coverage regarding the issue and announced that funeral will be held in private. Limiting the access and control over journalist were seen at the hospital. But the cries of the bereaved family members were heard from outside and could imply sadness of leaving the deceased.
The death of Cho Min Ki has shocked many. In February, it was reported that Cho was dismissed as an associate professor at the Department of Theater Studies at Cheongju University last year. The testimony of the victims were followed and Cho was found dead three days before the police questioning.
At that time, 119 was called for the scene after a guard found Cho dead. He was carried to hospital but was pronounced dead.
