The late actor Song Young-gyu delivered a brilliant performance in his final work, 'True Education'.

Released on the 5th, the Netflix series 'True Education' depicts the refreshing and satisfying true education carried out by the National Education Rights Protection Bureau, established to defend the educational rights of teachers and the education system in South Korea, which had collapsed due to students, teachers, and parents who overstepped their bounds. Immediately after its release, the series topped Netflix's 'Top 10 Series in South Korea Today' chart, continuing to generate significant buzz.

'True Education' is also the final work of the late Song Young-gyu, who passed away in August last year. Song Young-gyu delivered a powerful performance as Ryu Kwang-pil, a leading presidential contender from the ruling party.

Ryu Kwang-pil, the father of Ryu Jun-hyung (played by Lee Seung-gyu), who is the perpetrator of school violence, is a character who abuses his power to cover up his son's wrongdoing. However, both Ryu Kwang-pil and Ryu Jun-hyung ultimately face downfall due to the intervention of the National Education Rights Protection Bureau.

The late Song Young-gyu was transferred to the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office without detention in June last year on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act (drunk driving). He was accused of driving approximately 5 kilometers from Giheung-gu to Cheoin-gu in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, while intoxicated.

At the time, the late actor was appearing in the drama 'Try: We Become Miracles', 'I Shopping', and the play 'Shakespeare in Love'. As public criticism grew, he withdrew from the play, and the drama production team took measures to edit some of Song Young-gyu's scenes.

Subsequently, the late Song Young-gyu was found dead in a vehicle at a townhouse in Cheoin-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, on August 4 of that year, just ten days after being transferred to the Prosecutors' Office without detention.
