Actor Cha In-pyo expressed his condolences by recalling special memories with the late Choi Bul-am.

On the 30th, Cha posted a lengthy memorial message on his personal social media account, stating, "I met Mr. Choi Bul-am as father and son in the 1998 MBC weekend drama 'You and Me.'"

He recalled the time, saying, "After the drama became a hit, it seems Mr. Choi was invited to various places that year. One day, he asked to see me and requested that I accompany him to an event he had to attend."

He continued, "When I hesitated without answering, Mr. Choi said, 'In-pyo, if you go with me this time, I will go with you next time.'"

Cha In-pyo stated, "Mr. Choi was that kind of person. He recognized and treated even a junior far below him as an equal human being." He added, "On the day Mr. Choi departed for heaven, that memory suddenly came to mind."

He then said, "The father in the drama, and the father figure he portrayed, comforted and gave courage to many people. Thank you for playing the role of a father for so long." He concluded with his final farewell: "Goodbye. Please rest peacefully in a place free of pain."

Along with this, Cha In-pyo shared a photo of the cast members of the drama 'You and Me.' The photo features Choi Bul-am, along with the late Choi Jin-sil, Park Sang-won, Song Seung-heon, Seo Yu-jung, and Cha In-pyo. The image captures the pre-death appearances of both Choi Bul-am and Choi Jin-sil, who have since passed away, adding to the sense of sorrow.

Earlier that day, Cha In-pyo visited the funeral home at Seoul Songpa-gu Seoul Asan Hospital, where a wake for Choi Bul-am was set up, to pay his respects.

Meeting with reporters, Cha In-pyo expressed his condolences by saying, "Mr. Choi has gone to heaven. I offer my condolences to the bereaved family. I hope Mr. Choi has gone to a place free of suffering and pain."

He continued, "Mr. Choi played the role of a father to the entire nation through television for a long time," adding, "I am grateful that he provided comfort and courage to the people from the late 1960s, when our country was in difficult times, until recently."

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

The late man's funeral will be held on the morning of November 2. Subsequently, a funeral mass will be conducted at Seoul Yeongdeungpo-gu Yeouido Cathedral under the direction of Cardinal Nham Soo-jung. The burial site is Donghwa Memorial Park in Paju City, Gyeonggi Province.
