Actor Cha Kang-yun expressed his longing for the departed Director Ahn Pan-seok.

On the 13th, Cha Kang-yun posted on his personal social media: "Director Ahn Pan-seok, who was a respected mentor and like a father to me. It pains my heart to realize that I must now keep the ordinary messages we shared with you all to myself. Memories of you placing kimchi stew over plain chicken soup while telling me to always believe in myself and move forward bring an indescribable surge of emotion."

He continued, "There were so many things I personally wanted to show you, but now that is no longer possible. Please do not be sick anymore, and please watch over me. I will become an excellent actor. Let's go to the chicken soup restaurant you liked again sometime soon," expressing his deep longing for the deceased.

The photo released alongside the message was a text message Director Ahn Pan-seok had sent to Cha Kang-yun while he was alive. Director Ahn Pan-seok encouraged him, saying, "I hear that you are doing well and standing firm despite the difficult filming. You are excellent. You should rest well, yet you took another difficult step today. Thank you. Let's eat a delicious meal together after both of us finish filming. Stay strong and let's film until the end."

Cha Kang-yun appeared in 'Graduation' and 'The Negotiation's Art', both directed by Ahn Pan-seok.
