MANILA, Philippines — South Korean actor Jung Eun Woo has passed away at the age of 40.

Several news sites in South Korea published the sad news about the actor's passing on Wednesday.

Although no cause of Jung's death has been made public, many netizens, especially his fans, are wondering if the actor's last Instagram post is related to his death.

Jung uploaded a carousel post on Instagram featuring a photo of himself, Hong Kong star Leslie Cheung, and British singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse.

Cheung committed suicide in 2003 after jumping from a hotel building. He was 46 years old at the time.

Meanwhile, Winehouse died in 2011 from accidental alcohol poisoning. She was 27 years old.

"Missing, envy, regretting," Jung captioned the post in Korean.

Jung appeared in the series "Welcome to Waikiki 2," "My Only One," "The Return of Hwang Geum-bok," and "Bride of the Sun."

At the SBS Drama Awards, he won the New Star Award for “Five Fingers” in 2012 and Best Actor in a Drama Short for “Stranger” in 2013.
