Actor Oh Ji-myung visited the funeral hall of his longtime friend, the late Choi Boo-ram, to pay his respects.

On the 31st, Oh Ji-myung visited the funeral hall for the late Choi Boo-ram at Asan Medical Center in Songpa-gu, Seoul.

On that day, Oh Ji-myung recalled their past, saying, "He was my friend when we were in high school at Jungang High School. He was a very old friend." He added, "We used to talk all the time about who would die first, you or me, but he went first. I am sorry. For living a little longer than him."

Oh Ji-myung continued, "It wasn't that we took the talent show audition together for the first time while doing theater. A PD (producer) brought us two in through special recruitment." He stated, "They brought me and him in as parachutists during the 7th class at KBS. So I never had to struggle."

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

The late man's funeral hall was set up in Room 20 of Asan Medical Center in Songpa-gu, Seoul, at 10 a.m. on the 30th. His wife Kim Min-ja, son Dong-nyeol, daughter Dong-bi, and family members were listed as the primary mourners.

The funeral is being conducted under the auspices of the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation. The funeral committee is chaired by Hwang Young-gi, president of Green Umbrella. Condolence flags and flowers sent by various political figures arrived at the funeral hall.

The funeral mass for the late Choi Boo-ram will be held at 9 a.m. on November 2 at Yeouido Cathedral in Seoul, presided over by Cardinal Nham Soo-jung.

The late Choi Boo-ram, who debuted in the play "Hamlet" in 1959, was loved as a national actor for 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).
