Regarding the cause of Song Minhyung's death, Korean media pointed out that he recently underwent surgery for gallbladder cancer and eventually died.
Song Minhyung is an experienced actor with superb acting skills. He began to guest star on KBS TV station as a child actor in 1966. He quit the entertainment industry midway and then rejoined after decades. In "The Unreasonable Miss Young Ae" and "The Fifth Republic" ”, “Funny Family”, “The Prime Minister and Me”, “Saimdang: Hikari’s Diary”, “Bridal Mask” and other dozens of Korean dramas have made guest appearances.

"Funny Family 2" was originally called "High Kick Through the Roof". Song Minhyung plays the father of his son-in-law Zheng Baobao and is also the father-in-law of Li Xianqing.

Song Minhyung once said in an interview that he was diagnosed with early-stage liver cancer while filming the MBC TV series in 2006. After treatment, he was diagnosed and cured. However, it recurred four times and recently spread to gallbladder cancer. Even though he had many successful experiences in fighting cancer. He still failed on the operating table, which made actors in the industry feel sad.
Song Minheng had never dared to announce the news of his cancer before, and his wife shared the joys and sorrows with him. They were once impoverished and owed a debt of 300,000 US dollars. The two often hugged each other and cried, gritting their teeth and persisting in finally paying off the debt.
After everything returned to calm, Song Minhyung revealed on the show that he had thought about quitting the entertainment industry and disappearing without a trace. The failure of his business in his early years made him think about committing suicide. Fortunately, he persisted in everything.
During his lifetime, he encouraged patients to eat. Although it was very uncomfortable and might even vomit, they had to eat and receive chemotherapy, so that they would have good results.
Song Minhyung, who always brings laughter in the drama, has endured all the hardships in the world. I wish him good luck in his journey.
