Cho Kuk, chairman of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, visited the mortuary of the late Ahn Sung-ki to pay tribute.

The mortuary of the late Ahn Sung-ki was set up in Room 31 of the funeral hall of Catholic University of Korea Seoul St. Mary's Hospital in Seocho-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 5th. His wife Oh So-young and two sons were listed in Sangju.

When the mortuary for the deceased was set up, President Lee Jae-myung's condolence wreath arrived. Earlier on the same day, President Lee Jae-myung expressed his condolences on Facebook, saying, "I am deeply saddened by the death of Ahn Sung-ki, who left a great footprint in Korean film history and culture and art as a whole."

"I will remember the teacher's passion for a long time," he said. "I pay respect to the life of the teacher who showed humility rather than splendor and dignity more than competition. I firmly believe that you will always stay with us with the unchanging emotion and resonance over the years. I miss my warm smile and soft voice already. I wish you all the best in your life," he said.

In addition, Cho Kuk, head of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, visited the mortuary in person to pay tribute. CEO Cho, who said he had no special relationship with the deceased in his life, said, "I grew up watching Ahn Sung-ki's movie from a young age. He himself is a Korean movie. He became a star in the sky, and I remember the line in the movie 'Radio Star' that he said, "No star shines alone."

"I remember maintaining my character and personality as the biggest star in the Korean film industry. I didn't have a personal relationship, but I respected and looked at it as a fan, but I feel bad to pay my respects like this," he said. "K-drama and K-movie are gaining popularity around the world right now, and he was the most manure person. He started as a child and lived in a movie all his life. Once again, I pray for the repose of the deceased," he said.

Meanwhile, Ahn Sung-ki died on the 5th. He was 74. On the afternoon of December 30 last year, the deceased lost consciousness at home and was transferred to the hospital emergency room, and was transferred to the intensive care unit for treatment, but failed to recover in the end. He died in the morning of the day, six days after being hospitalized, while his family watched him.

The funeral of the deceased will be held as a movie director under the auspices of the Shin Young-kyun Foundation for Arts and Culture and the Korea Film Actors Association. The stamping is at 6 a.m. on January 9, and the burial site is Yangpyeong Star Painting.
