On the afternoon of December 30 last year, the deceased lost consciousness at home and was transferred to the hospital emergency room, and was transferred to the intensive care unit for treatment, but failed to recover in the end. He died in the morning of the day, six days after being hospitalized, while his family watched him.

Announcing the death of the deceased, his agency, the Artist Company, said, "Ahn Sung-ki has been with Korea's pop culture history with a deep sense of mission and consistent sincerity in acting. His acting has always been directed at people and life, and through numerous works, he has conveyed deep resonance and comfort across times and generations. "In particular, actor Ahn Sung-ki was a true 'national actor' who valued dignity and responsibility as a person more than anything else before acting."

Ahn Sung-ki was born on Jan. 1, 1952, and debuted as a child actor in the 1957 film "The Twilight Train." After a 10-year hiatus after "Young Zelkova Tree" (1968), she returned to "Good Day with Wind" (1980), and marked the beginning of a national actor with "Small Ball Launched by a Dwarf" (1981), "Flower of the Enemy" (1983), "Whale Hunt" (1984), and "The Age of Success" (1988).

Ahn Sung-ki received the Achievement Award at the 58th Daejong Film Festival in 2022 and said, "I thought I wouldn't get old after living as a movie star for a long time, and I forgot my age, but I recently realized that time and age cannot be stopped."
