Actor Han Jung-soo expressed his condolences upon hearing of the passing of the late Choi Bul-am.

On the 30th, Han shared a post on his Instagram, reading, "I was planning to visit Joo-hyuk's grave today as it is his death anniversary, but I heard the news of Mr. Choi Bul-am's departure. Please rest in peace, sir," accompanied by a photo of the late actor.

On that day, Han also paid tribute to his close friend, the late Kim Joo-hyuk, on the 9th anniversary of his death. The late Kim Joo-hyuk died in a traffic accident near Samsung-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on October 30, 2017.

The late Choi Bul-am passed away at around 10 p.m. on the 29th while hospitalized for treatment at a hospital in Gangseo-gu, Seoul. He had stepped down from "Korean Table," a KBS 1TV documentary program he hosted for 14 years starting in 2011, as his mobility became impaired due to a herniated disc. It is reported that although he subsequently focused on rehabilitation, his health deteriorated rapidly recently.

The late Choi Bul-am, who debuted in the play "Hamlet" in 1959, was widely loved as a "national actor" for his roles such as the righteous Captain Park Young-han in the MBC drama "Detective Squad" and Chairman Kim of Yangchon-ri in "Country Diary."

The late actor's wake was set up in Room 20 of the funeral hall at Seoul Asan Medical Center in Songpa-gu, Seoul. The bereaved family listed on the notice included his wife, Kim Min-ja, and his sons, Dong-nyeol and Dong-bi. Actor Na Moon-hee, former Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Yoo In-chon, designer Park Sul-nyeo, and others visited to pay their respects.
