South Korean actor Song Jae-lim was found dead at the age of 39

South Korean actor Song Jae-lim, known for his roles in K-dramas “Moon Embracing the Sun” and “Queen Woo,” was found dead at his home in Seoul.

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korean actor Song Jae-lim, known for his roles in K-dramas “Moon Embracing the Sun” and “Queen Woo,” was found dead at his home in the capital Seoul. He was 39 years old.

Officials at Seoul’s Seongdong district police station did not immediately comment on the cause of death on Wednesday.

South Korea’s Yonhap news agency, citing anonymous police sources, reported that police found a note at Song’s home, found by a friend of Song’s who came to have lunch with him on Tuesday, and that there were no signs of foul play.

Song made her debut in the 2009 movie “Actresses”. He rose to fame after playing a royal guard in the 2012 television hit “Moon Embracing the Sun,” a fantasy drama about the romance between a medieval Korean king and a female shaman.

She also appeared on the celebrity reality show “We Got Married” in 2014 and had a supporting role in this year’s streaming drama “Queen Woo,” another fantasy drama about violent power struggles among royalty in an ancient kingdom.
