According to local media reports – including video from another car’s dashboard camera obtained by one organization –  Kim’s car stopped in the middle of a crowded road before suddenly taking off, hitting another car before crashing into the wall of an apartment complex. His car overturned and rolled down the steps of the building entrance before catching fire. According to the police, witnesses say that Kim showed signs of having chest pain.

The son of actor Kim Mu-saeng, Kim Joo-hyuk began his acting career in 1998.
