Actor Kim Min-jae recalled the late director Lee Sang-woo and the late actor Lee Seon-gyun.
On the 28th, Kim Min-jae created a group called "Yeon-woo-muda" and "Chai-mu" on his Instagram to mourn Lee Sang-woo, former president of the Korea National University of Arts and a leader of the domestic original theater scene. The late Lee Sang-woo passed away on the 26th due to a pre-existing illness. He was 75.
He said, "My chest feels tight, and I can hardly breathe. I think it's just because I miss the teacher so much. For two days during the funeral, I laughed and then cried a lot, repeating those moments. Those times felt so cruel to me."
He continued, "The teacher was both my father and my mentor. I still vividly remember the day when he, who had nothing, first offered me a chance to work as a performance staff member in my 20s. I try to believe that the teacher has gone to another dimension and is somewhere else, forming a theater troupe again and performing theater, even if I have to force myself to believe it."
He added, "I hope that there, he can perform theater freely and happily. And I will pray that he is at peace together with teacher Kim Min-gi."
Additionally, Kim Min-jae shared an image of the late Lee Sang-woo and Lee Seon-gyun together, expressing his longing: "I remember and love you. We will surely meet again."
