National actor Ahn Sung-ki was worried that he could not regain consciousness after CPR, and finally said goodbye to the world.

On the 5th, Ahn Sung-ki's agency, Artist Company, delivered the sad news of Ahn Sung-ki. According to the agency, Ahn Sung-ki died at the hospital at 9 a.m. that day. He was 74.

Ahn Sung-ki collapsed while eating at home around 4 p.m. on December 30 last year. Afterwards, he was taken to the emergency room of a hospital near his home undergoing CPR due to cardiac arrest, but he failed to regain consciousness and eventually left the intensive care unit for less than a week.

With the news of Ahn's deteriorating health, the family prepared for Ahn's last, with his eldest son, who was staying in the U.S., returning home suddenly.

Earlier, Ahn Sung-ki revealed that he was fighting blood cancer in 2022. Ahn Sung-ki attended the opening ceremony of "Director Bae Chang-ho's Special Exhibition" held at CGV Apgujeong in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Ahn Sung-ki, who appeared in public for the first time in a long time, was helped on stage by actor Kim Bo-yeon and made it difficult for him to talk with a swollen face. Her hairstyle, which looked like she was wearing a wig, also caught the eye. This was completely different from the recently released movie Hansan: The Appearance of the Dragon.

At the time, the agency dismissed the rumors of health abnormalities as groundless, but Ahn Sung-ki personally announced the disease. In an interview with a media outlet, Ahn Sung-ki said, "I have been battling blood cancer for more than a year," adding, "I recently got better after receiving anti-cancer treatment, so I was able to go out." Ahn Sung-ki is wearing a wig due to chemotherapy, and he even confessed that he had bare hair when he took off the wig. Although there was a lot of concern over the news of the national actor's illness, Ahn Sung-ki attended various events with his passion for movies even during his illness.

Ahn Sung-ki, who attended the 2023 memorial exhibition for the late actor Kang Soo-yeon, appeared with gray hair and revealed his health condition himself. At the time, Ahn Sung-ki said, "I think I'm all better except for my voice."

Until recently, the news of Ahn Sung-ki's death, who participated in film events, added heart and support, and said, "I think I'm all better," continues to mourn.
