On February 10, Jung Eun-woo posted a message saying: “Missed, envious, regretful… PIR.BG,” along with photos of Hong Kong film legend Leslie Cheung and British singer Amy Winehouse. He also included a photo of himself.
After news of her death broke on February 11, the post took on an even deeper poignancy, as both Leslie Cheung and Amy Winehouse are the latest stars to pass away at a young age.
Leslie Cheung, who maintained a strong fan base in Korea, died on April 1, 2003 in the hotel where he was staying. Amy Winehouse, the acclaimed British singer-songwriter, died on July 23, 2011, at the age of 27, due to acute alcohol poisoning.
Born in 1986, Jung Eun-woo debuted in 2006 with KBS2 “Teacher 3.” He continued to appear in dramas such as “The Bride of the Sun”“Five fingers”,“A well-raised daughter,”“Foreigners”,“The Return of Hwang Geum-bok”, AND “My only one.” His most recent project was the 2021 film “Memory: Manipulated Murder.”
As fans revisit his final message, many have expressed grief over the timing and emotional weight of the post, mourning the loss of an actor whose career spanned nearly two decades.
