Comedian Kim Tae-ho has passed away from a fire accident eight years ago.

Late Kim Tae-ho died in an arson incident that occurred at a bar in Jangmi-dong, Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do, on June 17, 2018. He was 51 years old.

At the time, late Kim Tae-ho had traveled to Gunsan for a charity golf event with acquaintances and tragically lost his life at a bar he visited for a after-party. The event was originally scheduled to be held in Danyang, Chungcheongbuk-do, but was changed to Gunsan, adding to the sorrow.

It is reported that a man in his 50s, who held a grudge over a 100,000 won bar bill, started a fight and set fire to the bar. As a result, three people, including Kim Tae-ho, died, and about 30 others were injured.

The man in his 50s who committed the arson was indicted on charges of arson resulting in death and was sentenced to life imprisonment, which has been finalized.

Kim Tae-ho, who debuted as an 8th cohort gagman for KBS in 1991, was active on KBS 2TV's "Comedy World," KBS 1TV's "6 o'clock My Hometown," and "Good Morning Korea." He also appeared in dramas such as "Kwanggaeto the Great," "You Are a Star," and "Seodongyo," and was honored at the 21st Korea Culture & Entertainment Awards in 2013. Gong Ro-sang-eul (수상)
