AKP STAFF

Actor Yoo Ah-in (real name Uhm Hong-sik) is grieving the loss of his father.

According to entertainment industry sources, Yoo Ah-in's father, the late Mr. Uhm Young-in, passed away on August 7 after battling an illness. He was 67 years old.

A source close to the actor expressed sympathy, saying, "Yoo Ah-in's father had been suffering from a chronic illness. I heard his condition had deteriorated recently."

Yoo Ah-in is currently staying by the side of his father's memorial in deep sorrow. The funeral service is being held at the DCMC Daegu Catholic University Medical Center Funeral Hall, with the burial scheduled for 9:30 AM on August 9 at Myeongbok Park.

Yoo Ah-in had previously shared his deep affection for his father in 2019 during an appearance on KBS 1TV's "Do-ol Ah-in Goes to Ganghwa." He reflected on his relationship with his father, saying, "I came to Seoul at 17 to pursue an acting career. I was focused on myself, trying to make a place for myself in the world. Despite that, I've always been a mama's boy. When asked who I liked more, I never once said 'Dad.' Recently, I started to think about my father. For the first time, I called him and talked about various things and told him I loved him. It was the first time I had ever said that to him as an adult. It felt awkward," he admitted, resonating with many viewers.
