Actor Choi Bul-am (real name Choi Young-han) has passed away.

According to the broadcasting industry on the 30th, Choi Bul-am died around 10 p.m. on the 29th while receiving inpatient treatment at a hospital in Gangseo-gu, Seoul. He was 87 years old.

The late actor stepped down from KBS 1TV's documentary program "Korean Table," which he had hosted for 14 years, after his mobility became impaired following lumbar disc surgery last March. He subsequently devoted himself to rehabilitation treatment, but it is reported that his health deteriorated.

Born in Jemulpo-gu, Incheon in 1939, Choi Bul-am began his acting career in earnest as a member of the National Theater Company in 1965.

He later expanded his activities to television dramas and gained public affection through appearances in numerous works such as "Detective Squad," "Country Diary," "You and Me," "Eyes of Dawn," and "Love Is Not for Everyone."

In May, the MBC documentary "Paha, I Am Choi Bul-am," which highlighted Choi Bul-am's 60-year acting career, was released. Although it was initially reported that Choi Bul-am would appear in person, he reportedly declined to participate in order to focus on his rehabilitation treatment.
