Who was Song Young Gyu? The Winning Try actor found dead amid drunk driving scandal and forced K-drama exits
South Korean actor Song Young Gyu, 55, has been found dead, shocking fans and the entertainment industry alike. His passing comes while he was under investigation for a DUI incident that occurred just weeks earlier. Song, known for his commanding presence in both television and film, was reportedly found unresponsive in his car on the morning of August 4 in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. His death has prompted widespread mourning and renewed focus on the events leading up to the tragedy. Song Young Gyu discovered dead in vehicle in Yongin According to an exclusive report by MBN, Song Young Gyu was discovered collapsed inside a vehicle parked near a townhouse in Cheoin-gu, Yongin, around 8 a.m. on Sunday. A friend reportedly found the actor and immediately contacted authorities. The Yongin Eastern Police Station has since confirmed his death and stated that an investigation is currently underway. At the time of discovery, no signs of foul play were reported, but further details are being examined to determine the circumstances of his death. DUI charges and removal from projects followed prior to Song Young Gyu's death Song had recently come under public scrutiny following a drunk driving incident on June 19. According to police, he drove approximately 5 kilometers from Giheung-gu to Cheoin-gu in Yongin while intoxicated, with a blood alcohol concentration over 0.08%—a level high enough to warrant license revocation under Korean law. He was sent for prosecution without detention, and the incident led to his removal from the stage production of Kim Yoo Jung and Jung So Min's Shakespeare in Love. Industry insiders say the situation deeply affected him both professionally and personally in recent weeks. Ongoing projects in limbo as production teams scramble At the time of his death, Song was actively appearing in two television dramas: SBS's The Winning Try as Daesang High School rugby coach Kim Min Joong, and ENA's The Defects (also referred to as I Shopping) as Pastor Yoon Se Hoon. Both dramas had already begun airing and are now facing major editing challenges. Production staff from both shows confirmed they were 'internally discussing' how to handle the situation, with plans to reduce or re-edit his scenes where possible. Cast and crew were reportedly blindsided by the news, having learned of his death through media reports. Who was Song Young Gyu? A respected veteran of stage and screen with a powerful presence Born in 1970, Song Young Gyu made his theatrical debut in 1994 with the children's musical Merutal Dosa and steadily rose through the ranks as a reliable supporting actor. He gained wide recognition for his role as Chief Choi in the 2019 box-office hit Extreme Job and went on to appear in acclaimed dramas like Suriname and Casino. Some of his most recent dramas are The Ghost Clients, Destined With You, and Love Scout. In his three-decade-long career, he appeared in over 50 dramas and movies, making him one of the most recognisable faces of Hallyuwood. Known for his depth and versatility, Song carved out a unique space in Korean entertainment with his commanding performances and charismatic screen presence. His sudden death has left colleagues and fans reeling, with many expressing disbelief over the tragic news.

You may have often heard about actors or actresses in the film industry being replaced overnight by other stars. This isn't something new; it has been happening for decades. Sometimes, it's due to scheduling conflicts or other reasons. Something similar happened almost 30 years ago, when Juhi Chawla was the first choice of the filmmakers for a particular film.

Over the years, the movie has become a cult classic and is now considered one of the greatest Hindi films ever made. The name of the film is ' Coolie No. 1 ' and the fact is also true that Dhawan first reached out to Juhi for the lead actress role. But it had to go to Karisma.

Dhanush slams AI-tweaked ‘Raanjhanaa' climax: Strips the film of its soul
Actor Dhanush has slammed the AI-altered climax of Ambikapathy, the Tamil-dubbed version of Raanjhanaa. On August 01, 2025, the Tamil version released with a new climax, intended to provide a 'happy ending to the story', according to the producers. 'The re-release of Raanjhanaa with an AI-altered climax has completely disturbed me,' Dhanush wrote in a statement on X. Eros Media World, the banner behind the film, said that the new climax was 'creative reimagining.' 'This is a creative reimagining, not a replacement, and is consistent with global industry practices including anniversary editions, alternate cuts, and modernised remasters,' the company's group CEO Pradeep Dwivedi said. Dhanush said he had objected to the new version. 'The alternate ending has stripped the film of its very soul, and the concerned parties went ahead with it despite my clear objection. This is not the film I committed to 12 years ago,' the actor wrote. Dhanush called for responsible use of artificial intelligence. 'The use of AI to alter films or content is a deeply concerning precedent for both art and artists. It threatens the integrity of storytelling and the legacy of cinema. I sincerely hope that stricter regulations are put in place to prevent such practices in the future.' ALSO READ: 'Raanjhanaa' re-release: Director Anand L Rai and producer at loggerheads over AI-tweaked climax Aanand L Rai said the original climax had 'heart and honesty. 'Raanjhanaa didn't need a new climax. It had heart, and honesty. It became a cult film because people connected to it with its flaws, and imperfections. To see its ending altered without a word of discussion is a gross violation not just of the film, but of the trust of the fans who've carried the film in their hearts for 12 years,' the filmmaker said. While in the original version Dhanush's character, Kundan, dies after being shot, the new version shows him survive. Kundan wakes up miraculously in the hospital, after being in ICU following the near-fatal injury. The film also stars Sonam Kapoor and Swara Bhasker in key roles.
