UPDATE: Jang Jin-young has passed away on September 1, at the age of 35.
This is very sad. Actress Jang Jin-young (Singles, Lobbyist) had announced last September that she was diagnosed with stomach cancer. She stopped all acting activities to focus on treatment, and a few months later seemed to be much improved.
However, now the news is coming out that her health has taken a swift but drastic downturn, and she is reportedly in critical condition. She had recently returned to Korea after receiving medical care in Los Angeles last month. According to a management rep, Jang Jin-young is currently admitted to a Kangnam hospital, and with the recent deterioration, they have stopped medical treatment for the cancer and are now focused on keeping her out of pain. Her family has been told to “prepare themselves” mentally, while a source at the hospital says they are preparing for the worst and keeping CPR equipment and defibrillators at the ready.
Jang Jin-young wishes to be remembered looking healthy, and visitation is restricted to only family members and her boyfriend. She had announced the relationship with a Mr. Kim in July, saying, “When I was exhausted and in pain and wanted to collapse, I found the biggest support close to me and was able to stand again because of him, who gave me courage.”

Blue Swallow was one of my favorite movies. RIP
May her loved ones take comfort in knowing she no longer has to suffer. So sad to die so young. She leaves behind a body of work for us to remember her by. In her honor lets watch one of her drama/movies and remember her as she would wish.
i can’t believe what i’m reading albeit i knew she was diagnosed with cancer — it’s very sad, she’s still young too — i only saw her very first time in Lobbyist & thought she was a good actress & quite pretty! may she rest in peace and my prayers are with her & her family! my deepest sympathy! she’ll be missed! thanks javabeans for your update!
This is indeed very sad and shocking news. RIP Jang Jin Young.
Post 31@Chu– I have also watched “Over The Rainbow” and found Jang Jin-Young very charming. She has that elegant and classic beauty look.
If anyone wants to watch a romantic Jang Jin-Young film, watch “Over the Rainbow”. The plot is a bit confusing and cheesy, but it makes a good chick flick, and she is very compatible with Lee Jung Jae.
What a beautiful picture to remember her by. Peace to the departed and to the ones left behind.
Death – Be NOT Proud. Jang Jin-young will always be remembered.
I really liked her in “Over the Rainbow”… It’s so sad. She’s so young and talented. RIP
