Actor Shin Hyeon-jun expressed his condolences for the late Choi Bul-am.

On the 30th, Shin shared a photo of the late actor along with the message: "Whenever something bad happened in our country, you would always say, 'As an elder, I am truly sorry. I am deeply sorry to the youth and the next generation.' In those words was contained a profound love for the next generation and the sincere heart of an elder who wished to leave behind a better world." He continued, "Before blaming others, you first reflected on your own responsibility and empathized with the pain of those who were suffering. You were the kind of elder that all of us aspire to be."

He added, "I love you. Thank you, teacher."

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

The wake was set up at Room 20 of the funeral hall at Asan Medical Center in Songpa-gu, Seoul, at 10 a.m. on the 30th. The bereaved family listed his wife Kim Min-ja, son Dong-nyeol, daughter Dong-bi, and other family members.

The funeral is being held under the auspices of the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation. It is being discussed that Hwang Young-gi, chairman of Green Umbrella, will serve as the head of the funeral committee, with former Prime Ministers Lee Soo-seong and Lee Nak-yon participating as members. Condolence flags and flowers sent by various political figures have arrived at the wake.

The late Choi Bul-am debuted in 1959 with the play "Hamlet." He was loved as a national actor for his roles, including the righteous Detective Park Young-han in the MBC drama "Susa Banjang" (Chief of the Investigation Division) and Chairman Kim from Yangchon-ri in "Jeonwon Ilgi" (Country Diary).
