Kim Young Ae’s funeral will take place at Yonsei Severance Hospital.

Kim Young Ae left her marks in a vast array of memorable works for the past 46 years of her acting career.  Some of the actress’s more recent works include “The Moon Embracing the Sun,” “Birth of a Beauty,” “Doctors,” and the movie, “The Attorney.”
