The deceased, who moved to Hawaii after marriage, focused on his family, but appeared on SBS 'Darling', MBC 'Three Wheels', and KBS2 'Relaxed' to reveal his current situation and express his willingness to return to the entertainment industry.
However, he couldn't continue his acting activities for a long time due to his poor health, and he ended up saying goodbye to the public.
