Actor Sunwoo Yong-yeo choked up thinking of the late Yeo Woon-gye, her longtime best friend and colleague.

The YouTube channel 'Sunwoo Yong-yeo', which was released on the 18th, showed Sunwoo Yong-yeo and actress Jeon Won-joo traveling to Japan together.

On this day, the two, who traveled abroad for the first time in a long time, looked full of emotions as they recalled their memories.




Sunwoo Yong-yeo visited the airport and said, "20 years ago, I went to Japan with Jeon Won-ju and Yeo Woon-gye"At that time, the three of us were together at the invitation of the Cultural Center, but now I am happy to step on the ground again, but I am lonely at the same time."

He continued "Now, no one knows if (former) Won-ju will go alone or I will go first. If you want to be, you have to be good when you are." He couldn't stop talking and blushed.

The longing for Yeo Woon-gye and the complex feelings of the time left behind were conveyed as it is.




The late Yeo Woon-gye passed away on May 22, 2009 after battling lung cancer. He was 69. In 2007, he was diagnosed with kidney cancer and dropped out of the drama 'King and I' as cancer cells spread to the lungs while fighting the disease.

The death of Yeo Woon-gye, who was called the grandmother of the nation at the time and played an active role in sitcoms and dramas, caused many people's sorrow, and Sunwoo Yong-yeo has often mentioned her longing for Yeo Woon-gye in various broadcasts since then.
