Actor-turned-chef Cho Jung-woo has died. He was 58 years old.

Chung Shin-woo passed away on the 18th. The deceased was diagnosed with thymic cancer in 2014 and battled for 12 years.

There is no mortuary prepared according to the will of the bereaved family, and a funeral mass will be held at the funeral hall of St. Mary's Hospital in Gangnam at 11 a.m. on the 19th.

Kang Ji-young, a world food culture critic, said in an obituary, "Chef Jung Jin-woo went to heaven. I have endured well with the power of positivity while fighting the disease, but now I pray that I will stay in peace in a place where I am not sick and have no pain. If you remember Chef Jung Shin-woo at all, please pray for his repose on his way."

Jung Shin-woo shared his disease-fighting diary and anti-cancer meal through his blog while he was alive, and wrote in a post titled "The Undisappearing Trauma" on October 29, 2025, "I felt it while washing my hair at the hair salon today, but I still can't lie back. Since the trauma of not being able to breathe when lying down in the waiting room for surgery. CT scans are too difficult because it's an electrocardiogram. Sleep lies on its side or at an angle. I always suffer from sleeplessness. Everything is different from the average person. Just one misalignment causes the body to collapse one after another and hurt. It's not fun to live," he said.

In January 2024, the deceased also said, "The cancer that has been living in my body for nine years has slowed the rate of metastasis. My life was paralyzed by dialysis, which I was not getting used to. I gradually lost my enthusiasm for life due to the hospital schedule where I couldn't do anything. Since then, I've put down my knives and studies. "The food is over now." I canceled all my outings and appointments because I couldn't hear my voice for a month. I had a vocal cord attack by a tumor," he said.

The deceased debuted with the musical "Gaspel" in 1988, and joined MBC's 27th open talent in 1998 and appeared in "Roses and Bean sprouts" and "Sangdo." The deceased later turned to a chef and appeared on EBS's Best Cooking Secret.
