On the 13th, an interview with Ki-dung Kang was conducted at the Ten Asia headquarters on Lunar New Year's Day.
On this day, Ki-dung Kang said about PD Lee, who passed away during the filming of 'Police Station Next to the Fire Station', "He was a friend of the same age that I met on set. I injured my finger during filming, and we went to the emergency room together." He added, “We talked to each other and depended on each other. But not long after, I heard sad news, and he was a friend who remained in my heart a lot.”
He expressed his gratitude by saying, "I wanted to express my gratitude in some way. If I had an opportunity to show my gratitude to the public, I wanted to express my gratitude," and added, "When things go well in the field , it feels like that friend is watching over me from heaven."
Kang Ki-dong, who appeared in 'Police Station Next to the Fire Station', won the Supporting Actor Award in the Miniseries Genre Fantasy category at the '2022 SBS Drama Awards'. At the time, he said, “I will dedicate this award to the late producer Lee Himchan, who became a star, and everyone who works hard for the life and safety of our country.”
Producer Lee committed suicide at the end of January last year while he was in charge of the production of 'Police Station Next to the Fire Station.'
