According to reports, Song Jae Rim was found dead on the afternoon of November 12 KST in his apartment in Seoul's Seongdong District. A 2-page letter was also reportedly found at the scene. Though the cause of his passing has not been confirmed, a police representative stated, "At this point of the investigation, there are no signs of foul play." 

His funeral is being held at the Seoul Yeouido St. Mary's Hospital funeral hall, where his family has taken charge of the arrangements, while his funeral procession is scheduled for noon the 14th. His final resting place will be the Seoul City Crematorium.

Born in 1985, Song Jae Rim gained recognition as an actor through the 2012 MBC drama 'The Moon Embracing the Sun'. Afterwards, he became known for his roles as a handsome leading man in dramas and films like 'Inspiring Generation', 'Two Weeks', 'Goodbye Mr. Black', 'Surfing House', 'I Wanna Your Song', 'Queen Woo', 'The Suspect', and 'Decoy'. He was also known for his appearance on 'We Got Married' alongside actress Kim So Eun in 2014.

His most recent project was the drama 'My Military Valentine', which was released on an OTT platform this past June. In particular, Song Jae Rim featured as a guest on MBC FM4U's 'Good Morning FM' this past August to promote a play, mentioning he had taken exams to become a fragrance expert and a meat processing technician and jokingly calling it his "future husband training."

As Song Jae Rim had been actively involved in broadcasts until recently, the news of his passing has come as a shock to many fans. The fact that his social media handle was recently changed to "A Long Journey Begins" has also added questions about his untimely death.
