Actor Shin Koo, 90, draws attention with a heartwarming appearance.

Shin Koo is currently performing on the Daehak-ro stage in the play 'French Vault'. Debuting as an actor in 1962, Shin Koo, at 90 years old, continues to perform on stage, sharing live moments with audiences.

Following the passing of Lee Soon-jae, the oldest active actor last year, Shin Koo became the oldest active actor. In the nearly two-hour play 'French Vault', he performs on stage for most of the duration. Despite the play requiring significant energy for each performance, Shin Koo continues to pour out his passion.

Audiences who watched the play are sharing the moving curtain call of the 90th-year-old active actor through their personal accounts and communities, spreading their emotions.

Born in 1936, Shin Koo previously withdrew from the revival of the play 'Last Session' in 2022 due to health deterioration and was diagnosed with heart failure, undergoing a pacemaker implantation procedure. Despite battling heart failure and currently having an artificial pacemaker implanted in his chest, Shin Koo continues to burn with passion on stage. While his heart beats with the help of the machine, his passion cannot be stopped.

Even though his vision, hearing, and physical strength are no longer what they used to be, the public is showering Shin Koo with support, as his passion for acting is no less than that of a 20-year-old actor.
