It has been one year since the passing of late Mr. Ji Byung-soo, who was loved as “Hal-dam-bi” for his appearances on “Jeongguk Noraejarang.”

Mr. Ji Byung-soo passed away from old age at the National Medical Center on October 30, 2025. He was 82 years old.

At the time, news of the late man’s death became known two months later, on December 17. His funeral was held as an unclaimed case, and it is reported that a friend who had worked as his manager after meeting him on “Jeongguk Noraejarang” and his adopted son served in the role of chief mourner. The late man’s body was exhumed on November 15 and interred in a columbarium at Byeokje Municipal Cemetery.

Meanwhile, Mr. Ji Byung-soo gained significant attention in 2019 when he sang singer Son Dam-bi’s “Micheosseo” (I’m Crazy) on KBS 1TV’s “Jeongguk Noraejarang.” He subsequently earned the nickname “Hal-dam-bi” and appeared on various broadcasts, including KBS 2TV’s “Entertainment Broadcasting Station” and tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block.”
