Song Hae Cause Of Death

Song Hae, a South Korean TV host known for decades as the emcee of a nationally broadcast singing competition, has passed away and died at the age of 95.

According to the Seoul National University Hospital, he died Wednesday, June 8 at his residence in South Korea’s capital, Seoul. The reason for death was not disclosed by hospital officials.

Song is survived by two daughters. The Seoul National University Hospital has put up a mourning hall for Song’s three-day funeral procession, which will last until Friday, June 10 2022.

Song, who was born in 1927 in what is now the North Korean town of Jaeryong, was one of perhaps millions of North Korean refugees who fled to the South during the 1950-1953 Korean War.

He began his career in the entertainment industry as a vocalist in the late 1950s, but he broke through as a comic, becoming a staple on TV and radio shows as a lovable personality who peppered guests with wisecracks and jokes.
