South Korean actress Park Ji-ah, who starred in the Netflix series The Glory (2022 to 2023), died on Sept 30. She was 52 years old.
“Park Ji-ah passed away at 2.50am (South Korean time) from cerebral infarction. We will not forget the passion of the deceased who loved performing,” her agency Billions said in a statement.
Cerebral infarction occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked.
Park gained fame for portraying the villainous mother of protagonist Moon Dong-eun (Song Hye-kyo) in the hit revenge drama The Glory.
The series, which chronicled Dong-eun’s intricate plans to take revenge on the high school bullies who violently assaulted and terrorised her, is one of Netflix’s most popular K-dramas, clocking 622.8 million viewing hours in the first year after it was released.
