Andre Kim, Korea’s iconic fashion designer who died on Aug. 12, was buried at Cheonan Memorial Park in South Chungcheong Province, Sunday.
The ceremony was held in Buddhist style, following the late designer’s faith. Kim’s adopted son, Kim Joong-do, his wife and their three children led the funeral ceremony. About 200 people attended.
The funeral car, which was prepared in white to commemorate Kim’s favorite color, departed the Seoul National University funeral hall to visit numerous places associated with the designer, including his home in Seoul and the Andre Kim studio in Giheung, Gyeonggi Province.
Kim, internationally known for his evening and wedding gowns, died of pneumonia and colorectal cancer.
On Friday, President Lee Myung-bak posthumously awarded Kim the Medal of the Golden Crown, the country’s highest honor for contributions to culture.
