The Squid Game cast is mourning one of their own.

Lee Joo-Sil, who played Park Mal Soon on the second season of the Netflix series, has died just months after sharing she had been diagnosed with stomach cancer, her talent agency 1230Culture confirmed, per local news outlet Korea JoongAng Ilbo

The veteran actress went into cardiac arrest at her family home in Uijeongbu Feb. 2 before being rushed to St. Mary’s Hospital where she died, the agency shared. 

Lee had previously disclosed that she’d been diagnosed with stomach cancer three months earlier.

Her latest diagnosis came over 30 years after the actress learned she had Stage 4 breast cancer in 1993 and was subsequently given one year to live, Korea JoongAng Ilbo reported. Lee underwent chemotherapy and was declared cancer-free after battling the disease for over 13 years.

"I found out at the end of stage 3 and it soon became stage 4," she reflected in July 2023, per People. "I overcame it well because I have children."
