A Seoul hospital says prominent South Korean movie star Ahn Sung-ki has died at age 74. He had been fighting blood cancer for years. Born to a filmmaker in the southeastern city of Daegu in 1952, Ahn made his debut as a child actor in the movie “The Twilight Train” in 1957. He subsequently appeared in about 70 movies as a child actor before he left the film industry to live an ordinary life. In 1980, he rose to fame for his lead role in “Good, Windy Days,” a hit coming-of-age movie about the struggle of working-class men from rural areas during the country’s rapid rise.
