Among his multiple movie performances, Kim was also known for his role in the variety TV show, 2 Days & 1 Night. He will have two films released posthumously, Heung-bu and Drug War. The Korea Herald reported that Kim had recently said that during his mandatory military service, he had worked as a driver.
All K Pop reports that “fake TWICE fance are commenting mean thing about Kim Joo-hyuk’s passing.” The website says that haters of the girl group TWICE are commenting nasty things about Kim to discredit the group’s fans. Kim’s death came on the same day that TWICE released their comeback album, Likey.
One alleged TWICE fan wrote:
If he died from a car accident then he should be reported in the social news section. I don’t understand why his news was released 3 minutes after TWICE made their comeback and released their new song.
Is the government trying to prevent TWICE from getting bigger since it can be problematic when their societal influence becomes too powerful.
The Korea Herald reports that at the time of his death, Kim had been in a relationship with actress Lee Yu-young.
