Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief South Korean actor Jung Chae-yul was found dead at her home on Tuesday. She was 26. The news of her death was confirmed by her agency Management S, without disclosing details of the circumstances. “Actress Chae-yul has left our side on April 11, 2023,” Management S, said in a statement on Tuesday. “We pray that Chae-yul, who has always been sincere about acting, is able to rest in peace in a warm place.” It added that, according to the wishes of her family, Jung will have a private funeral.
Jung began her career as a model and appeared in 2016 fashion survival show “Devil’s Runway.” She transited into acting and appeared in 2018 Korean movie “Deep.” She is best-known for her role as a member of the police in 2020 fantasy comedy series “Zombie Detective,” which played in Korea on KBS and internationally on the Netflix streaming service.
