The late action actor Kim Hyun-yi passed away this past summer, it was belatedly revealed.

During the ending of the first episode of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: Mafia in White" (hereinafter "Doctor X"), which aired on October 9, a subtitle was inserted reading, "We remember and honor our precious colleague, the late Kim Hyun-yi, who ran alongside us." Below the subtitle, the phrase "From the production team of Doctor X" was included.

The following day on October 10, a memorial subtitle also appeared at the end of the first episode of the tvN Saturday-Sunday drama "A Hundred Days of Lies," reading, "We will not forget and will always remember late action actor Kim Hyun-yi." As both works consecutively aired memorial subtitles, attention has drawn to the tragic news of the deceased.

It is reported that Kim passed away after wrapping up filming for "Doctor X."

The deceased participated in films such as "Dark Nuns," "Donghwa, but Adults Only," "Victory," and "Project Silence," as well as dramas including "The Penthouse: War in Life" and "New Recruit Season 4: Sabotage."
