On a fateful Sunday afternoon, beloved actress Park Soo Ryun met with a devastating accident while returning home in South Korea. Tragically, she fell down a set of stairs and sustained severe injuries that ultimately led to her untimely demise. Known for her remarkable role in the popular Disney+ K-drama Snowdrop, the loss of this talented 29-year-old actress has left her fans and the entertainment industry in deep sorrow.

They have found solace in knowing that her compassionate heart continues to beat in someone else’s chest.
In an emotional conversation with Soompi, Park Soo Ryun’s mother expressed, “Although her brain is unconscious, her heart remains alive. There must be someone out there who desperately needs [organs]. As her parents, we take comfort in the knowledge that her heart beats, giving life to another.”
The final rites for the actress took place on Monday, and a somber wake was held at Suwon Hospital of Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center in Jangan-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, according to a Daily Mail article. This was a moment of profound grief for her loved ones and loyal fans.
