Veteran actor Park Dong-bin, widely recognized for a viral internet meme, was found dead Wednesday at a restaurant he was preparing to open in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province. He was 56. The Pyeongtaek Police Station said Thursday that an acquaintance helping with the new business discovered Park's body around 4:25 p.m. the previous day in the city's Jangan-dong area. Investigators found no signs of foul play or forced entry at the scene. Police are investigating the circumstances of his death. Park gained internet fame following a scene in the 2012 MBC drama "It Was Love." A dramatic moment where his character spits out a mouthful of orange juice in shock became a viral sensation, earning him the affectionate nickname "Juice Guy." Born Park Jong-moon in 1970, he debuted in the 1998 film "Shiri." He built a prolific career with roles in films such as "Volcano High," "How to Keep My Love" and "The Huntresses," alongside television dramas including "Rustic Period," "Immortal Admiral Yi Sun-sin" and "The Great Wives." He married actress Lee Sang-yi, who is 12 years his junior, in February 2020
