00:00South Korean actress Lee Seo-e, known for her warm presence in K-dramas like The Divorce
00:06Insurance, passed away on June 20, 2025, at the age of 43. However, a death was only publicly
00:14confirmed 11 days later, when a manager Song Seo-bin shared the news on her official Instagram
00:19account on July 1. The statement posted read, A radiant, beautiful, kind-hearted sister became
00:26a star in the sky on June 20. I share this news with deep sorrow. The manager also added
00:32that he was speaking on behalf of her grieving parents and asked for privacy during this difficult time.
00:39While the exact cause of Lee's death hasn't been disclosed, many fans wondered why the news
00:44was shared so late. The delay, as suggested by a manager, was out of respect for the family's mourning
00:50process. A loved one's once needed time before going public with the news, choosing to honour
00:56her memory privately before addressing the public. Lee Seo-e made her acting debut in 2013 with the
01:03historical drama, Her June, the Original Story. Over the years, she appeared in shows like City
01:09of the Sun, Pegasus Market, and in films such as The King, Scarlet Innocence, and Killing Romance.
01:16Her last role was in the divorce insurance, which aired just weeks before her passing. Besides acting,
01:21she was an academic achiever and a florist who ran her own boutique. Her passing has left a quiet but
01:28deep impact on fans and colleagues alike.
