Nam Kyu-ri of the group Cya recalled memories with the late Kim Min-su, a member of Monday Kids.

On the 10th, a video titled "First Meeting with Lee Jin-seong and Nam Kyu-ri After 20 Years" was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Real Lee Jin-seong (Monday Kids)."

The video showed Nam Kyu-ri meeting Lee Jin-seong. The two revealed they were classmates in the Practical Music Department at Myongji College, class of 2003.

Lee Jin-seong said, "You mentioned Min-su when we filmed 'Footsteps of Minky' back then. I wondered, 'How did you know Min-su?'" Nam Kyu-ri replied, "You introduced us."

Lee Jin-seong recalled, "Looking back on the memories again, I remember we watched it together at that time."

Nam Kyu-ri shared, "Min-su rode a motorcycle too. At that time, I secretly rode a motorcycle from my company. So we used to go to arcades together."

Hearing this, Lee Jin-seong said, "I introduced you to Min-su, but it seems the two of you met more often than I thought." Nam Kyu-ri responded, "Whenever our schedules were free, we'd ride motorcycles and go to karaoke. There was no one around who rode motorcycles. We did it secretly from the other Cya members."

Recalling the time of Kim Min-su's death, Nam Kyu-ri said, "There must be news articles about it. When I went to Min-su's funeral, I cried. I also wrote and posted a message wishing him well in heaven." She added, "Sometimes when I'm driving, I pass by his wake. Whenever that happens, I remember the old days."

When Lee Jin-seong said, "Min-su must have been someone very precious to you," Nam Kyu-ri replied, "We worked so hard during our activities. That's why we didn't get along well with people in the entertainment industry. Friends who shared the same hobbies were truly rare. Most women rarely ride motorcycles anyway. We talked a lot about music."

Meanwhile, on April 29, 2008, at around 6:24 a.m., Kim Min-su was riding a motorcycle toward the Shinlim-dong intersection in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, when he crashed head-on into a streetlight. He was rushed to the hospital but ultimately passed away. He was 23 years old.
