“Actress Lee Joo-sil passed away from stomach cancer this morning,” they announced.
The agency also revealed that three months ago, Joo-sil’s health declined, and she was diagnosed with stomach cancer. This follows her previous diagnosis of breast cancer in 1993, which she successfully battled for over ten years.
