Park Yoon-bae died in 2020 at the age of 73 after battling pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary fibrosis is a disease that causes major breathing problems due to hardening of lung tissue. Park Yoon-bae, who is said to have smoked a lot during her lifetime, was first suspected of being infected with COVID-19, but was later diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. At the time, his son Park Ji-man said, `My father always said 'I am a rural bachelor' and 'Please remember my simple and friendly father for a long time.'

In particular, he was loved by the public by playing the role of a simple rural young man 'Eung Sam Yi in 『The Country Diary』 (1980-2002), which is considered the longest-running drama in Korea. Loved by many viewers for his affectionate acting and friendly image, he is more familiarly remembered under the nickname 'Eungsami'.
