Four years have passed since the late Kang Soo-yeon passed away.

The late Kang Soo-yeon was found suffering from cardiac arrest due to cerebral hemorrhage at her home in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on May 7, 2022, and was rushed to the hospital, but she passed away three days later. She was 56.

Kang Soo-yeon debuted as a child actor in 1969 and appeared in dramas such as 'High School Diary', 'Mother's Room', 'Ye Incheon-ha', 'Moon Hee', and films including 'I Confess', 'The Burial of the Doves', 'A Letter from Heaven', 'Bloodline', 'The Tragedy of W', 'Blue in You', 'Western Avenue', 'The Korean Peninsula', 'Gathering Moonlight', 'Sunny', and 'Juri'.

She became the first Korean actor to win the Best Actress award at the Venice International Film Festival for the 1986 film 'The Seed Sower' (directed by Im Kwon-taek), and won the Best Actress award at the Moscow Film Festival for the 1989 film 'Adada' (directed by Im Kwon-taek), earning the title of 'World Star' as the first Korean actor to do so.

Her final work, which contributed to the development of the film industry during her lifetime, was the Netflix film 'Jeong-i' (directed by Yeon Sang-ho), released in January 2022. 'Jeong-i' tells the story of Jeong-i, an A.I. combat mercenary, escaping a research facility amidst rapid climate change. Although her comeback to the screen after 10 years drew significant attention, she passed away before being able to see the completed work.

At the late actress's memorial service, fellow actor Seol Kyeong-gu recalled, "Senior Kang was my eternal mentor. I know she gave infinite love and affection to all actors. She genuinely cherished and loved actors, making her a true star among us. She was a giant-like figure who could embrace everyone from pitch-black juniors to much senior seniors, and it never felt awkward."
