Actor Cha Kang-yun expressed his longing for the late 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 that I must now keep the ordinary messages we shared with you all to myself. Memories of you placing radish kimchi on top of chicken soup while telling me to always believe in myself and move forward bring indescribable emotions."

He continued, "I had so much I wanted to show you personally, 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 longing for the deceased.

The photo released alongside the message was a text message sent by Director Ahn Pan-seok to Cha Kang-yun while he was still alive. Director Ahn Pan-seok sent words of encouragement: "I heard 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 you and I finish filming. Cheer up and let's film until the end."

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