That day, party spokesperson Park Sang-hyun said, “The Cho Kuk Innovation Party expresses its profound sorrow and heartfelt condolences on the passing of the late actor, who spent his life comforting people through his performances as they faced the pain of their times, and soothing weary audiences with his unassuming smile.” Choi, who had been receiving inpatient treatment at a hospital in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, died at around 10 p.m. on the 29th.

“The late actor was more than simply a beloved national star; he was the very embodiment of the genuine humanity and warm-hearted elder our society should aspire to become,” Park said. “Chief Inspector’s Chief Inspector Park Young-han never lost his warm regard and compassion for people, even as he pursued criminals with steely determination. And the elder of Chairman Kim’s household in Country Diary showed us the endearing, comforting everyday life of rural Korea amid an increasingly harsh world.”

Actor Choi Bul-am (born Choi Young-han), hailed as "the nation's father" for embodying the image of a Korean father, has died. He was 87. Yonhap News.

Park also recalled, “On A Table for Korean, as he traveled across the country, clasped the rough hands of his neighbors, and humbly listened to their stories and the fruits of their hard work shared around the dining table, he quietly moved us by showing what it means to respect and cherish people.”

“The greatest message the late actor conveyed to us through his lifelong work and the way he lived was ‘deep consideration and affection for others,’” he said. “He showed us through his own example that a warm regard for others—one that respects each person’s life and makes room for them, rather than relying on grand words or authority—is the strongest foundation on which our society rests.”

“The late actor has now left our side, but the enduring legacy he leaves behind will guide our society,” Park said. “I pray for his repose and extend my deepest condolences to his bereaved family, who must be immersed in grief, and to everyone who remembers him.”
