Neither Cho Yong-pil, an eternal friend, nor Park Joong-hoon, an eternal duo, could hide his heartbreak at the death of the late Ahn Sung-ki.

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.

From the first day of mourning, not only movie seniors and juniors but also politicians visited the mortuary. Lee Jung-jae and Jung Woo-sung, who were the first to visit the mortuary, served as residents with their two sons. The two, who shared a meal with the deceased during their lifetime, greeted and saw off the mourners in person, and will participate in the funeral on the 9th to see off the deceased until the end.

First, actor Park Sang-won expressed his heartbreak, saying, "He must be acting in heaven as well," and the late Ahn Sung-ki and his friend of 60 years, Cho Yong-pil, also visited the mortuary to pay their respects.

Cho Yong-pil said, "I'm on a tour, so my lips are all swollen. But all of a sudden, my friend said (I came) because he had a bowel movement. "I thought I was discharged well and fully recovered last time, but I'm so sorry that this happened all of a sudden. He said, "Yong-pil, I'm all better" because he was fully recovered, but he said he was hospitalized again this time, so he thought, "It's serious."

He then said, "I hope it's comfortable even when I go up," and added, "Don't be too disappointed, and I hope I can live the rest of my acting life even if I go up there." A big star has fallen in the movie industry. He's my friend, but he's a big star in the movie industry. I want to tell you to relax now. "(Ahn) Sungki, let's meet again," he said.

Director Lim Kwon-taek and Park Joong-hoon, who had a long relationship with the deceased, also visited the mortuary together. Park Joong-hoon said, "I was a senior and a big adult who I really respected. I was lucky to have been able to do movies together for more than 40 years, and I learned a lot from him," he said.

Director Lim Kwon-taek said, "I have worked together on numerous works, starting with 'Crossword Teacher'. As a director, he was an actor with no anxiety at all, and he was a great person who lived as a good actor, he recalled, "I'm so sorry and sad."

In addition, actors Lee Deok-hwa, Choi Soo-jong, Kim Tae-woo, Shin Hyun-joon, Jin Sun-kyu, Jinyoung Jung, Kwon Sang-woo, Song Seung-heon, broadcaster Park Kyung-rim, Cho Kuk, chairman of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, and lawmaker Bae Hyun-jin visited the mortuary to share the last path of the deceased.

When the mortuary for the deceased was set up, President Lee Jae-myung's condolence flowers arrived, and the government awarded the late Ahn Sung-ki the Geumgwan Order of Cultural Merit (Grade 1). "The deceased has been regarded as a 'national actor' who has lived with Korean films by showing acting that encompasses generations," the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said. "As a person who symbolizes the popular leap and industrial growth of Korean films in the 1990s and 2000s, he contributed to the social and cultural expansion of Korean films."

Culture and Sports Minister Choi Hwi-young, who visited the funeral home of the deceased, said, "I cannot help but be deeply saddened that such a beautiful actor has left us. I will forever remember our national actor Ahn Sung-ki, who always took care of me from the bottom," he said.

Then, regarding the meaning of the Geumgwan Order of Cultural Merit, he said, "It is the biggest symbol in Korean culture. "It is a very important charter to honor those who have made great achievements for our people and our country," he said. "[The meaning of eulogy to the deceased] is something that all Koreans will know."

Meanwhile, the deceased died on the same day. He was 74. On the afternoon of December 30 last year, he lost consciousness at home and was transferred to the hospital's emergency room, and was transferred to the intensive care unit for treatment, but he did not 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. Junior Lee Jung-jae and Jung Woo-sung will take charge of the funeral and share the last path of the deceased. The stamping is at 6 a.m. on January 9, and the burial site is Yangpyeong Star Painting.
