Actress Kim Ja-ock dies at 63

Actress Kim Ja-ock died of complications of lung cancer at a hospital in Seoul Sunday, her management agency said. She was 63.

"Kim had received anti-cancer treatment as cancer spread to her lungs. But she died in an intensive care unit of the Seoul St. Mary's Hospital with her family members looking on as her condition got worse very quickly," the agency, M Town Entertainment, said in a statement. She resumed acting after successfully undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer in 2008. However, cancer spread to her lungs recently.

She is survived by her husband, singer Oh Seung-keun, and two children.
