Seoul: South Korean actress Kang Seo Ha has tragically passed away at the age of 31, following a prolonged battle with stomach cancer, entertainment portal Soompi confirmed on Tuesday. Kang, known for her heartfelt performances in popular K-Dramas such as Schoolgirl Detectives, Assembly, First Love Again, and Through the Waves, built a loyal fanbase with her on-screen charisma and emotional depth. A memorial altar has been set up in Room 8 of the funeral hall at Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital, with her funeral procession scheduled for 7:40 AM on July 16. She will be laid to rest at her family’s burial site in Haman, Gyeongnam Province.
