'Jackpot!' focuses on Katie (Awkwafina), a struggling actress who wins the lottery without realising that she's now got a target on her back
Actor Lee Sun-kyun of the Oscar-winning movie 'Parasite' has died, South Korea’s emergency office said Wednesday.
Lee was found dead at a car in a central Seoul park on Wednesday, it said.
Police earlier said an unconscious Lee was discovered at an unidentified Seoul location.
South Korean media outlets including Yonhap news agency reported that police had been searching for Lee after his family reported he left home after writing a message similar to a suicide note earlier Wednesday.
Lee was best known for his role in 'Parasite, in which he played the head of a wealthy family. In 2021, he won a Screen Actors Guild award for “cast in a motion picture” for his role in the same film.
He was nominated for the best actor at the International Emmy Awards for his performance in the sci-fi thriller 'Dr. Brain' last year.
Lee was a familiar figure on Korean screens for decades before his 'Parasite' fame abroad. He became well-known for his role in a popular drama series, 'Coffee Prince (2007),' and gained mainstream popularity with the medical drama 'Behind The White Tower,' followed by 'Pasta (2010)' and 'My Mister (2018).'
