Actress Kim Hye-soo expressed her sincere gratitude to the public who paid tribute to the late Choi Bul-am, the "national actor" she had looked up to like a father.

On the night of the 4th, Kim posted a portrait photograph of the late Choi Bul-am on her Instagram.

Along with the post, she conveyed a message that evoked a sense of deep emotion: "Sincerely thank you to those who saw off Teacher Choi Bul-am on his final journey, and to everyone who paid their respects."

Kim had drawn attention for keeping vigil at Choi's wake for three consecutive days. She was captured receiving mourners with a 90-degree bow while her eyes were swollen from crying, and kneeling down to arrange shoes, sparking widespread discussion. Additionally, Kim took meticulous care of Choi's wife, actress Kim Min-ja, from the start of the funeral period until the departure of the coffin.

Kim had regarded the couple Kim Min-ja and Choi Bul-am as "parents" due to their connection from appearing as mother and daughter in the 1987 drama "Lament for a Mother."

Choi passed away on the 29th of last month at the age of 87.
