In 2017, Kim Ji-young died at the age of 79. He has always been with viewers with his friendly dialect and warm mother's acting.
The late Kim Ji-young, who debuted in 1960 with the film The Heirs, was active in films and dramas. In particular, Kim Ji-young, who received much love for his book Jeonwon Diary, appeared in numerous works such as '500 years of the Joseon Dynasty', 'piano', 'fulaus', 'land', and 'six siblings', and was recognized as an acting that only he could show.
At the time, the deceased's daughter said in a phone call with Sports Chosun that `My mother started cancer with stage 1 lung cancer two years ago. Since he was a positive person while performing chemotherapy after surgery, he continued his fight against the disease and acting activities without informing actors or acquaintances.

The grieving daughter said that her mother, who had strengthened her will to fight the disease by saying, "'I will get better and postpone again this year for sure', had remarkably improved since 40 days ago. "But suddenly, acute pneumonia came and she left us today. "
At that time, Kim Ji-young also performed enthusiastically in the drama 'Make a Woman Cry'Fantastic' and was reportedly preparing for the next film, which caused even more regret.
The daughter grieved, saying, `My family was preparing for the end of lung cancer, but I had hope because it got better 40 days ago, but the moment I left, I was less prepared.'
