Korean actor and singer Park Yong Ha was found dead in his home on June 30, 2010. The popular star, best known for his role in the TV drama Winter Sonata, passed away at the age of 32 in an apparent suicide.
Born on August 12, 1977, Park Yong Ha made his acting debut at 17 in the MBC drama Theme Theater. The actor caught eyes early on for his handsome looks and talent, and went on to appear in many dramas including the 1998 MBC classic Bogo Tto Bogo and the 2000 KBS romance Snowflakes. In 2002, Park co-starred in the seminal Korean drama Winter Sonata. The series' great success launched Park to Korean Wave stardom throughout Asia, in particular Japan where his second calling as a singer also took off. From 2004 onwards, he regularly released singles and albums and held concert tours in Japan.

After Winter Sonata, Park starred in several hit productions including the TV dramas Loving You (2002) and On Air (2008) and the movie The Scam (2009). The actor was last seen on screen in the 2009 television thriller The Slingshot. He was originally set to star in the upcoming television remake of Comrades, Almost a Love Story.
