South Korean Actress & Model Found Dead At 26

South Korean actress and model Jung Chae-yul has been found dead in her home at the age of 26.

The actress’s death was announced by her management company earlier today, with details of her passing not yet released.

Jung gained notoriety for her role in Zombie Detective – which gained something of a cult following after streaming on Netflix – as well as I Have Not Done My Best, and the 2018 film Deep.

The actress had been set to star in the much anticipated K-drama series Wedding Impossible before the heartbreaking news.

Since the announcement of the star’s death, fans have flocked to her most recent Instagram post to comment their sorrow and grief. Jung was pictured sitting on the floor with headphones in the most recent upload as fans paid their respects.

Jung’s agency Management S announced the devastating news: ‘We have to deliver very heartbreaking and unfortunate news. Actress Chae-yul left us on April 11th,’ a translation of Korea’s MK News reported.

‘According to the wishes of the bereaved family, who are in greater sorrow than anyone else, the funeral will be held quietly and privately.

‘We earnestly ask you to refrain from spreading rumors and speculative reports in this regard.’

Jung had been a rising star in the increasingly popular K-drama films and series. She was set to appear in the upcoming drama Wedding Impossible, which has since announced it has paused production.
