Late Korean actor Lee Soon-jae's dedication to his craft has once again touched viewers' hearts as colleagues he worked with closely shared his unspoken final words and memories. The memories of Lee have sparked appreciation for a man who stands as a landmark in Korean theater and television.

On the Dec. 28th episode of SBS's "My Little Old Boy," actor Park Geun-hyung guested as an MC and shared his memories of Lee, who had passed away last year, aged 91 years old, in an honest and emotional manner that touched the hearts of the audience and the radio listeners alike.

As Park introduced his colleague, he demonstrated the value of their relationship and the respect the younger staff held for him. Park said, "It breaks my heart so much because we were friends for decades, through thick and thin," which established the somber mood in the studio.

As reported by OSEN, he made it clear that the impact he had on them was not limited to friendship but almost everyone he worked with.

Park also introduced his amiable relationship with actor Lee Soon-jae and actor Shin Goo, mentioning how the three would often come together to talk about theater and performances. Before continuing, Park introduced Lee's character by describing him as a considerate and passionate individual.

The strongest scene came from Park's description of their last encounter. Providing context, Park continued, "From now on, you should take charge of the theater world. Please work hard.'" Park noted that his words were like "a will," leaving him emotionally moved enough to engage the audience through the cast's reactions.

This scene demonstrated many of the skills of effective storytelling, such as context and point of reference, and it is through such elements of storytelling and context reference that Park's narrative achieves its power, particularly through the audience's engagement and response-based.

His passion for the craft of acting is also visible in the earlier MBC commemorative documentary, "Actor Lee Soon-jae, We Owe You Much." According to the report of Naver, the documentary included the actor saying from his hospital bed, "The only thing I want to do is work." When asked what he wanted most, he said, "The only thing I want to do is work."

The documentary also uncovered that Lee continued to practice and memorize scripts even when he experienced deteriorating eyesight. In fact, the CEO of Lee's agency recalled, "Lee insisted on practicing and memorizing scripts."

The last project that Lee Soon-jae worked on was the drama "Bullshit." He worked on this project while commuting between Geoje Island and Seoul. His friends and family reported that he looked no different, as he continued with the same passion that drove his life.
