• I had a strong will to do business and acting activities..a sad piece of sad news

Despite his curved life, the late actor Lee Sang-bo did not let go of his will to act and live until the end.

According to a Star News report, the late Lee Sang-bo has been focusing on his business by running a meat restaurant in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province until recently. On the 1st, a month before his death, the deceased told Star News that he had opened a small meat restaurant on the side, adding, "If you have anything to get by or have time to spare, please stop by. "It's both fun and difficult to do new things, not my main job," he confessed.

Since KBS 2TV's daily drama "Elegant Empire," which ended in January 2024, he has not had any significant work activities, and it seems that he has been focusing on running a restaurant for a while to make a living. He was enthusiastic enough to produce a promotional video, saying, "It's a meat restaurant served by a celebrity," and even play the role of a face wife.

Although he suffered major and minor ups and downs in the operation process this month, he communicated with Star News until just a few days ago to show his willingness to do business. However, the sudden news is spreading, adding to the sadness around them. It is known that the personal situation of the deceased was not closely shared with his agency, Korea Management Group (KMG).

Her passion for acting was also still there. During his lifetime, he told Star News, "There will be something to tell you about the work in the near future." Although the agency said, "There was no confirmed next film," the deceased reportedly has been preparing to return to the field by steadily searching for the work.

According to the Pyeongtaek Police Station in Gyeonggi Province, the late Lee Sang-bo was found dead at his home in Pyeongtaek on the 27th. He was 45. The family found it and reported it to the police. The police are investigating the exact circumstances of the death, judging that there are no criminal charges. All posts on the deceased's SNS account are currently deleted.

Born in 1981, the late Lee Sang-bo made his debut in the KBS 2TV drama 'The Longest Number of Invisible Men' in 2006. Since then, he has appeared in a number of works, including the drama 'Daughter-in-law's golden age', 'Naughty Love', 'Private Life', 'Miss Monte Cristo', 'Elegant Empire', and the film 'Secretly Great'.

In 2022, he went through an ordeal of being caught up in drug administration allegations, but was disposed of as "no charge" after the investigation found that it was a misunderstanding caused by taking depressive drugs. At the time, he said he suffered from depression and panic disorder while living alone after losing his sister and parents, adding, "I felt depressed at the thought of spending the Chuseok holiday alone, but took beer and depressive drugs and went on the road."

Later, he returned to the small screen in 2023 with "Elegant Empire." At the time, Lee Sang-bo said, "It is true that I had a hard time being a person before I became an actor," adding, "It was thanks to the warm encouragement and support of many people that I was able to endure and recover even a little bit in that time." I want to repay many people through my work with gratitude," he said, expressing his sincere willingness to make a comeback.

Last year, he signed an exclusive contract with Korea Management Group, signaling a full-fledged resumption of his activities, but he ended up saying goodbye to the public with a sad story, not news of his next work.

The Korea Management Group said, "Actor Lee Sang-bo of our company has passed away. Please understand that it is difficult to disclose the cause of death at the request of the bereaved family." He added, "The vacancy was prepared in Room 3 of Pyeongtaek Central Funeral Hall, but we respectfully refuse to report and visit to protect the bereaved families, so we ask for your cooperation."

The death of the deceased was strictly observed on the 29th. The burial site is Cheonan Pyeongtaek Memorial Hall.
