On the 5th, Jung Bo-seok shared on his account, "When I was a novice actor, I asked, 'Hyung, I feel uncertain and anxious every day. When will this anxiety go away?' He replied, 'I still feel anxious too, but maybe that anxiety is a fate that every actor must carry for life.' He was a great mentor in my heart, guiding me as an actor. It's too early for you to leave, and it's so heartbreaking, but I hope you rest in peace. May you be free from pain and find peace there," along with a photo.
