The behind-the-scenes story of "Hansan," a movie filmed by the late actor Ahn Sung-ki while battling blood cancer, has been released.

MBC's memorial special documentary "National Actor, Ahn Sung-ki," which aired on the afternoon of the 11th, contained the life of Ahn Sung-ki, who has lived as the history of Korean movies and the face of the times, and the last traces he left behind.

Director Kim Han-min, who directed the movie "Hansan," said, "The senior did not show any signs of fighting throughout the filming."

"There were some situations where the senior didn't look good during the last shoot. I had the idea of doing an additional shoot. "My senior had stronger professional pride and responsibility than anyone else," he recalled of the deceased.

Director Park Heung-sik, who directed the film "The Birth," which became the posthumous work of the late Ahn Sung-ki, said, "The last film was the smallest part in a way, and I think you performed the most beautifully."

Shin Young-kyun, an official at the Arts and Culture Foundation, where the deceased was the chairman of the board, said of the late Ahn Sung-ki's last appearance, "I wore a hat even during the battle with blood cancer," adding, "I came steadily until my health deteriorated."

Finally, the colleagues said their last goodbyes to the deceased. Director Lim Kwon-taek said, "The presence of an actor named Ahn Sung-ki also allowed the film director Lim Kwon-taek to shine. I'm always grateful," he said, expressing his gratitude to the deceased.

Actor Lee Mi-sook said, "I think Sung-ki has done everything he has to do in our movie industry. We worked so hard, and thanks to that, we can still be in harmony like this. We'll do the rest and go," he said, shedding tears at the end.

Actors Kim Sang-kyung, Shin Hyun-joon, and Seo Hyun-jin also said, "Rest in peace. I hope you are comfortable and at peace," he said, shedding tears.

Coach Lee Jang-ho said, "I wish I could see you in heaven," and let go of the deceased with a big smile.
