Actress Chae Si-ra mourned the late writer Jeong Ha-yeon.
On the 4th, Chae posted on her social media (SNS) account: "Another master has passed away in just a few days. Writer Jeong Ha-yeon of 'King and Queen' and 'Queen In-hoo's Man.' I had been thinking that she must have been quite elderly lately and that I wanted to see her. But upon hearing the news, I was filled with shock and regret." Along with the post, she shared a photo of herself from when she appeared in one of Jeong Ha-yeon's past works.
She reminisced about her memories with the late writer Jeong Ha-yeon: "When we first met during 'King and Queen,' she said, 'I will write a story about Queen In-hoo someday. After watching you in 'Widow,' I decided from that moment on that Chae Si-ra would play the role of Queen In-hoo.' Those words solidified my resolve, and 13 years later, I encountered 'Queen In-hoo's Man' again. How difficult it is to meet the same writer and play the same role twice in a lifetime, and how significant that is—I can only feel gratitude."
She continued her tribute: "Although we don't have photos taken together, I loved seeing you come to every rehearsal session to read through the script with us. I am especially grateful for creating such a wonderful character. You must have worked so hard writing scripts every week for your entire life. Now, please rest your mind and heart peacefully, Teacher."
Writer Jeong Ha-yeon passed away on the 1st of last month. She was 82 years old at the time of her death. The late writer made a mark in the industry by consecutively producing major historical dramas such as 'Jang Nok-su,' 'King and Queen,' 'Empress Myeongseong,' 'Shin Don,' and 'Queen In-hoo's Man.'
Prior to this, actor Choi Bul-am passed away on the 29th of last month while receiving inpatient treatment at a hospital in Gangseo-gu, Seoul. He was 87 years old at the time of his death. At that time as well, Chae Si-ra mourned the late actor, stating: "Working together with you in 'Widow,' 'Eyes of Dawn,' and other productions, just watching your performances was a lesson in itself. You must have worked very hard to live your life."
