Actress Kim Ja Ok�has passed away on the 16th.

The veteran actress (who debuted in 1970), was diagnosed with colorectal cancel in 2008 and got surgery right away. She had successful surgery and appeared right away in 'Working Mom' a month after, saying, "My recovery is quick. Perhaps it's because my body was used to being bad, but my condition is good right now. When I found out I had cancer, I realized I was being lazy. I just worked and didn't look after my health."
