The government has posthumously awarded the Silver Order of Cultural Merit to the late actor Yoon Seok-hwa, who passed away last year.

According to NEWSIS on the 21st, an official from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism stated on that day, "The medal was delivered to the deceased's family on the 14th."

Yoon Seok-hwa passed away at the age of 67 on December 19 last year after a long battle with a brain tumor.

Shortly after the late actor's passing last year, the government announced its intention to pursue the posthumous award of a cultural order in recognition of his contributions to the development of Korea's performing arts scene over many years as a Han Guk-eul (CEO) theater actor.

Subsequently, relevant procedures including the review of his achievements were carried out, and it was ultimately decided to posthumously confer the Silver Order of Cultural Merit.

Recognized as a "first-generation theater star," Yoon Seok-hwa made his debut in 1975 with the play "Honey Taste." He went on to appear in numerous plays, including "Agnes of God" and "A Letter to My Daughter," and was active across various fields, including musicals, dramas, and films.
