It seems even the sky was sad. The news of the passing of national actor Mr. Choi Bul-am is incredibly sorrowful. It is heartbreaking."

He continued, "Although I never had the chance to work on a project with him, whenever I happened to cross paths with him at the broadcasting station, he would always greet me first and respond with a smile — that warm face. National actor Mr. Choi," adding, "You have truly worked so hard all these years. Thanks to you, every citizen of South Korea was happy in front of the television."

Along with this, he shared a photo from the drama "Detective Squad Leader" (Su-sa Ban-jang). He wrote, "The four people in this photo delivered outstanding performances in 'Detective Squad Leader.' I imagine they have met again at the bar on the sky. Mr. Choi Bul-am, Mr. Kim Sang-soon, Mr. Nam Seong-hoon, and Mr. Jo Kyung-hwan. I pray for your peace in a good place. May you rest in peace."

Meanwhile, the late Choi Bul-am passed away around 10 p.m. on the 29th at a hospital in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, while receiving inpatient treatment. He was 87 years old.
