On the 23rd, Kim Chang-wan posted a message about the late director Ahn Pan-seok via SNS on SBS Love FM's '6 PM Evening Breeze with Kim Chang-wan'.

Kim Chang-wan said, "I was wondering whether to share this story... it will stay in my heart for a long time... so I'll just speak freely," and added, "Last week, Director Ahn Pan-seok passed away on his long journey, and I went to pay my respects."

He continued, "It is regrettable that he left too early... but the warm dramas directed by Director Ahn during his time feel like the last remaining film of 'Cinema Paradiso,' which makes my heart ache," he revealed.

He added, "Now that there is a final work to be broadcast soon, I can only take comfort in that. Such is the nature of meetings. Even family members seen morning and evening may not meet until they marry... and even lifelong friends, how many days do we actually get to see each other? People met yesterday, today, or tomorrow should all be greeted with a smiling face."

Kim Chang-wan worked alongside director Ahn Pan-seok in the 2007 MBC drama 'White Tower', playing the role of Woo Yong-gil, chief of the Gastroenterology Department at Myeongin University Hospital.

The late director Ahn Pan-seok joined MBC as a producer in 1987, made his debut with the 1994 MBC Best Theater 'Greeting of Love', and resigned from MBC in 2003. Thereafter, he directed dramas such as 'White Tower', 'A Wife's Qualities', 'Secret Love Affair', 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine', 'Pretty Nuna Who Buys Me Dinner', 'Spring Night', 'Graduation', and 'The Negotiation', earning him the title of a drama master. His final work is the new ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'Yeon Ae (Dr.)', scheduled to air in October.

Director Ahn Pan-seok passed away on the 12th after his health deteriorated while battling a brain hemorrhage. He was 64 years old.
