Actor Shin Hyun-jun expressed his deep feelings for the late Kim Soo-mi.

On the 13th, Shin Hyun-jun appeared on MBN's variety program 'Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night'.

That day, Shin Hyun-jun named the late Kim Soo-mi as one of the benefactors who helped shape him into the person he is today.

Kim Ju-ha asked Shin Hyun-jun about the late Kim Soo-mi, "What does she mean to you?" Shin Hyun-jun replied, "She is truly my mother. Even now, I feel as though she is still alive and somewhere out there."

Moon Se-yoon asked, "What was the turning point that led you to call her 'mother'?" Shin Hyun-jun explained, "I first met her while filming the 'Family' series. It was actually about my father's side. However, after reading the script, I told the director and producer that I thought it would be perfect if Soo-mi's mother were played by Kim Soo-mi. They agreed that she would be a great fit, and a teacher I had already discussed the role with reportedly said, 'Soo-mi is exactly right.' That teacher was none other than Baek Il-seop."

He continued, "From that moment on, I followed her around calling her 'Mom, Mom,' and even when I was living alone, she always cooked for me."

Shin Hyun-jun added, "When Mom was filming 'Barefooted Ki-bong,' she went around to stage greetings. Usually, other stage greetings attract many couples or sell out two seats at a time. But here, there were many group viewings. The atmosphere was completely different. I enjoyed it, but I think Soo-mi's mother enjoyed it even more. She told me, 'Hyun-jun, make a comedy film with family values that families can watch.' So we made 'Ghost Police,' which became her final work."

Shin Hyun-jun also added, "Even now, I miss her so much, I am so grateful, and I love her so much," revealing his deep affection.
