"Actor Baek Won-gil passed away 13 years ago.

Baek Won-gil was found dead in Namdaecheon, Seomyeon, Yangyang County, Gangwon Province on August 16, 2013. He was 42 years old.

According to the Gangwon Provincial Fire Headquarters at the time, a report was received that Baek Won-gil had left his home the previous day, the 15th, and had not returned, prompting a search operation during which he was found dead in water approximately one meter deep upstream of Namdaecheon in Seomyeon, Yangyang County.

It is known that the deceased had set up residence in Yangyang about three months prior to the accident and lived alone, enjoying fishing in Namdaecheon. It is also reported that shortly before the incident, he expressed his affection by posting articles related to fishing on social media.

In response to his sudden passing, fellow actors also mourned. Actors Yoo Yeon-seok and Park Jung-min paid tribute, saying, "Baek Won-gil's smile is still vivid before our eyes. It is so regrettable and empty that he has left us," and "We will fully emulate the senior's energy."

Meanwhile, the late Baek Won-gil made his debut in the 2002 film "The Reincarnation of the Matchgirl." He later appeared in dramas such as "Dream High" and "Midnight Hospital," and the film "Haeundae."
