NEW YORK — South Korean actress Kim Mi-soo, recently most known for her role in the K-drama "Snowdrop," died yesterday, January 5.
Landscape Entertainment, Mi-soo’s agency, confirmed the “sorrowful and heartbreaking news” that she had died suddenly. They said that the bereaved family is “currently very heartbroken by the sudden mournful news."
