A documentary depicting the life of actor Choi Bul-am, despite his absence, has been released. Choi, who became the subject of rumors regarding his health, ultimately did not appear, but his juniors filled the void.

On the 5th, the two-part MBC Family Month special documentary 'Paha, This is Choi Bul-am' aired for the first time. This special documentary was produced in a radio format, reviewing Choi Bul-am's life and acting career through DJ-hosted music. Actor Park Sang-won served as the presenter, tracing the footsteps of the 'national actor' Choi Bul-am.

Initially, it was known that Choi Bul-am would appear in the documentary, drawing significant attention, but his appearance did not materialize. The documentary production team stated, "We had been coordinating filming schedules with Choi Bul-am until recently, but due to the family's request for him to focus on rehabilitation therapy, actor Choi Bul-am did not stand before the camera."

Choi Bul-am ceased activities after stepping down from 'Table of Koreans,' which he had led for 14 years, in January last year. Recently, he became a topic of discussion when junior actor Baek Il-seop appeared on MBN's 'Altoran' and mentioned health issues, stating, "(Choi) Bul-am hyung is not in touch. He doesn't answer even when I call."

Although Choi Bul-am did not appear in the broadcast that day, junior actors appeared to trace his footsteps. Jung Kyung-ho said, "The teacher is like someone who lives on set; he is right there. Seeing him take naps in his own room, I thought, 'He truly is a character who lives there.' I think the reason I still strive not to leave the set is because I learned from seeing such a side of him," expressing his respect.

Lee Gye-in said, "He even calculates the position where shoes are taken off," while director Seok Bong-jun noted, "The teacher is truly detail-oriented. He doesn't miss a single tremor of his hand," highlighting his acting details.

The juniors unanimously spoke of the reliable and reassuring presence of actor Choi Bul-am. Lee Kyung-jin said, "It was reassuring when the teacher was there, and if there was anything lacking, I asked him a lot." Im Ho stated, "I felt that if you just react well to whatever the teacher guides, the acting naturally follows." Park Won-sook also recalled, "I remember him saying, 'Bring the rubber shoes, this is a connection.'" Lee Kyung-jin added, "It was reassuring when the teacher was there, and if there was anything lacking, I asked him a lot." Im Ho reiterated, "I felt that if you just react well to whatever the teacher guides, the acting naturally follows," and Chae Shi-ra added, "There is fun and anticipation in watching Choi Bul-am teacher's acting. I feel his presence is extraordinary."

While it was regrettable that Choi Bul-am's image could not be seen in the documentary that day, above all, since health comes first, that regret was filled by the juniors who respect him.

We look forward to the day when national actor Choi Bul-am steps out before the public again and laughs with a 'Paha.' Navy Headquarters.
