Kim Jung-gi, who was called an 'artist who paints the moment' by improvising a large piece of paper without a draft and completing a harmonious picture, has died suddenly.
Yesterday (the 5th), the sudden death news was posted on Kim Jung-gi's Instagram.
The person who wrote this post was writer Kim Hyun-jin, who led the creative studio 'Super Annie' with writer Jung-ki Kim.
In the article, writer Kim Hyun-jin said, "With great sadness and heavy heart, we are announcing the sudden death of writer Kim Jung-gi." He said, "(Writer Kim Jung-ki) suffered from heart pain at the airport heading to New York after finishing a schedule in Paris, France on the 3rd. He complained and was taken to the hospital, but he passed away."
Then, artist Kim Hyun-jin left a message of condolences to her, saying, "Junggi has painted many pictures for us."
