Updates on actor Choi Bul-am have been released.

Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Choi Hwi-young conveyed Choi Bul-am's health status via his SNS on the 13th.

He said, "I visited our 'National Father' Mr. Choi Bul-am, who is currently hospitalized due to health discomfort, and offered my sincere regards. I was greatly relieved to be warmly welcomed by his signature 'Paha' laugh."

He continued, "His spouse, actress Kim Min-ja, was also present by his side. Mr. Choi Bul-am shared many words with me, ranging from recent events in society to art and religion, warmly encouraging me. He even mentioned that we should have a drink together once he is discharged soon."

He further expressed, "Mr. Choi Bul-am has been with us for many years through 'The Table of Koreans' until recently. His strict yet gentle demeanor and deep voice are always remembered in our hearts. I sincerely pray for his speedy recovery, as he has dedicated his entire life to giving great resonance to the people."

He also added, "Tomorrow, the 15th, is Mr. Choi Bul-am's birthday. Let us join our hands and shout loudly, 'Happy Birthday.'"

Choi Bul-am is reported to have become physically impaired after undergoing back disc surgery last year. Consequently, it is understood that he is undergoing rehabilitation treatment after stepping down from the KBS 1TV educational program 'The Table of Koreans,' which he had hosted for 14 years. Following his departure from 'The Table of Koreans,' actor Choi Soo-jong has taken over as his new successor.
