Park Soo-Ryun passes away in hospital after falling on 11 June
Park, 29, was returning home on Sunday (11 June) afternoon when she fell down the stairs, reported South Korea’s OSEN news portal.
While there’s not much information about why she fell, reports stated that she was rushed to the hospital.
Doctors sadly couldn’t resuscitate her and eventually declared the actress brain dead.
Family will donate her organs
Park’s family has decided to donate her organs in her honour as she had a warm heart.
Her mother was quoted by Soompi, an entertainment news site, as saying that while her brain was unconscious, her heart was still beating.
Thus, she added,
As her mother and father, we will be able to live comforted [by the thought that her heart] has gone to someone and is beating.
Her funeral will be held on Tuesday (13 June).
She was an accomplished musical theatre actress
While Park may not have appeared that often on screen, she was an accomplished musical theatre actress.
She made her stage debut with the musical ‘Il Tenore’ in 2018, and followed that up with roles in shows like ‘Finding Mr Destiny’, ‘The Days We Loved’, and ‘Siddhartha’.

One of her more recent appearances was in ‘The Days We Loved’. She was set to perform with the show on Jeju Island before the accident.
Sadly, this will not happen due to her untimely passing.
Had a small role in ‘Snowdrop’
Avid K-drama watchers will, however, have heard of a show that Park acted in — the romantic series ‘Snowdrop’.
She played a small role in it as a university student detained by the authorities.

Despite her minor role, she got to rub shoulders with series lead Jung Hae-In.

In an Instagram post, she said Jung was gracious enough to stay with her till the end of filming and was thoughtful of each and every female “college student” on set.
Korean stars gone too soon
Park has now joined the long list of Korean entertainment personalities who’ve gone too soon.
This includes Moonbin, a member of K-pop group ASTRO, who passed away at age 25 in April.
