The tragedy comes nearly a month after the release of Han Ji-sung's most recent movie, "One Punch", a pulp movie about high school gangsters intended for release in the on demand market. Choi Yeon-cheong, the lead actress in that film, released a photo of Han Ji-sung with her female co-stars taken on set in memoriam on Instagram.
Han Ji-sung was driving the car with her husband in the passenger seat. Alcohol use has been proposed as a possible explanation for the accident, which was caused when Han Ji-sung brought the car to a sudden stop and then exited the vehicle. Her husband claims that this was so he could go to the bathroom.
