His funeral was held at the funeral hall of Hanyang University Hospital in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, and the funeral procession was scheduled for 8:20 a.m. on December 1.

Lee Moon-soo was born in 1949 in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province. He worked as a public official in his youth, but his experience on the stage during a school arts festival in his childhood led him to pursue acting. He enrolled at Seoul Institute of the Arts and began his acting career in earnest. After joining the National Theater Company in 1989, he was actively involved in various plays such as "Trial," "Problematic Human Calculation," "Death of a Salesman," "1984," "The Seagull," and "King Lear."

Lee Moon-soo also stood out in films and dramas. He became a familiar face to the public by playing the role of the grandfather ghost in the movie "Hello Ghost." He also delivered realistic performances in films such as "Sacred Lineage," "Thousand-Year Crane," "Let's Live Right," and "Killer's Talk." In the drama "Signal," he appeared as the father of Lee Jae-han (played by Jo Jin-woong), leaving a deep impression.

He was awarded the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Commendation in 2010 in recognition of his contributions to acting. His recent works include the role of Jang Gwang-deok in tvN's "Ghost Doctor" and Charles in Coupang Play's "Unicorn."

The news of Lee Moon-soo's passing was conveyed through the Korean Theater Actors Association. Recently, there have been successive reports of the passing of veteran actors. The late Lee Soon-jae passed away in the early morning of the 25th at the age of 91. Lee Soon-jae debuted in 1956 with the play "Beyond the Horizon" and was known as the "oldest active actor" until he temporarily suspended activities due to health issues late last year, having worked in theater, dramas, and films.

During his lifetime, Lee Moon-soo often expressed deep gratitude and affection for his family and is remembered among juniors as an actor with sincerity, dignity, and quiet determination. His acting career left a profound impression on the public and had a significant impact on the Korean theater scene and popular culture.

The news of Lee Moon-soo's passing has been received with great sorrow by many, and his acting and life story will continue to be remembered by many. We pray for the repose of his soul.
