The funeral for actor Choi Boo-ram (real name Choi Young-han), who led efforts to support children and youth throughout his life, will be conducted as a ceremony by the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation.

According to the Green Umbrella on the 30th, the funeral for Choi Boo-ram, who passed away on the 29th, will proceed as a Green Umbrella Children's Foundation ceremony. It is known that plans are being discussed for Hwang Young-gi, chairman of the Green Umbrella, to serve as chair of the funeral committee, with former Prime Ministers Lee Soo-seong and Lee Nak-yeon participating as members.

Choi Boo-ram passed away around 10 p.m. the previous day at a hospital in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, while receiving inpatient treatment. He was 87 years old.

Debuting in the play 'Hamlet' in 1959, Choi Boo-ram was loved as a national actor through his roles such as the righteous Detective Sergeant Park Young-han in the MBC drama 'Susa Banjang' (Detective Squad) and Chairman Kim of Yangchon-ri in 'Jeonwon Ilgi' (Country Diary).

In particular, the late actor formed a connection with the Green Umbrella during his appearance in 'Jeonwon Ilgi', inspired by the storyline in which Chairman Kim accepts adopted child Geum-dong as family. At that time, Choi Boo-ram took an interest in the realities of children and youth who actually needed protection and led child welfare activities from the 1980s.

Additionally, while serving as chairman of the non-profit corporation Zero Camp, he supported cultural and arts education, including theater, music, and dance, conducted at Gimcheon Juvenile Correctional Facility starting in 2013 to help juvenile offenders reintegrate into society.

The late actor's wake will be set up at the Asan Medical Center funeral home in Seoul, and it will receive mourners from 10 a.m. on that day. His surviving family includes his wife, actress Kim Min-ja, his son Dong-nyeop, and his daughter Dong-bi.
