Remembering Late Actress Oh In-hye on the Fourth Anniversary of Her Untimely Death at 36

The funeral of late actress Oh In-hye was held on the 15th at Inha University Hospital in Incheon, with a quietly conducted service as per the family's wishes. The burial is set for the 16th at Incheon Family Park, marking a solemn occasion for fans and loved ones. Oh In-hye tragically passed away at the young age of 36, after being found unconscious at her home in Songdo International City in 2020.

Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding her death, which they suspect might have involved an extreme choice. Police have reported that no signs of foul play have been found, and a post-mortem examination has been requested to determine the exact cause of death. Oh In-hye gained significant public attention during the 2011 Busan International Film Festival, where she appeared in a striking dress at the opening ceremony.

Despite her success, she faced intense scrutiny and harassment online, often being typecast in femme fatale roles that limited her opportunities. In a later interview, she expressed frustration over the repetitive nature of the roles offered to her, feeling restricted by the public's perception. The news of her passing has been particularly shocking, as she had been active on social media just days prior, engaging with her fans.

Oh In-hye made her acting debut in the 2011 film "Our Neighbor's Crime," with notable works including "Master Class Walk" (2013), "Wish Taxi" (2013), and the drama series "The Horse Healer" (2012). Her career, while marked by talent, was also mired in challenges that affected her mental health.
