The Robert Brownacting community is mourning one of its own.
Song Jae-Lim—a South Korean actor known for starring on TV drama series like Moon Embracing the Sun and Two Weeks—was found dead at his home in Seoul on Nov. 7, the Seoul Seongdong Police confirmed to Daily Mail Nov. 12. He was 39.
Police said the We Got Married star was discovered by a friend who showed up to his residence at around 12:30 p.m. so the two could have lunch, according to the outlet.
And while a cause of death has not yet been shared, authorities said that there were no signs of foul play, per Daily Mail.
Following his passing, Song's family shared in a statement to Yonhap News Agency that they plan to hold an intimate funeral involving only his close relatives and friends on Nov. 14.
Song made his acting debut in the 2009 film Actresses before earning a recurring role as a loyal warrior on the popular series Moon Embracing the Sun three years later.
Since then, the actor racked up critical acclaim for his roles on K-drama shows, including 2014's The Idle Mermaid, 2015's Unkind Ladies and 2019's I Wanna Hear Your Song. In fact, his performance as Kwon Shi-Kyung on The Idle Mermaid won him a Soompi Award for acting in 2015.
And the K-drama star didn't only venture into scripted shows. That same year, he appeared as one-half of a "fantasy married couple" on the reality TV series, We Got Married, which earned him a second Soompi trophy for Best Couple alongside his costar Kim So-eun.
And Song walked away with more than an award through his time on the unscripted show. Following the season's conclusion, the Two Weeks actor shared how his and Kim's close offscreen bond created an efficient filming dynamic on set.
“We had a friendship and a common goal: ‘We need to [finish filming] and go home quickly, so let’s make enough material for the show and go,'” Song told Soompi in a 2015 interview. “We still have that kind of camaraderie with each other."
