In response, BoA said "Oppa, I love you! We can get through it. I'm definitely going to make you ramen, you have to eat it together. I think you're a really strong person. I cheered for my brother director Kwon Soon-wook by leaving a comment, "Thank you for cheering me up every day, the coolest and strongest person in my eyes."

Thank you for leaving warm words when our last conversation was 'I love you'. Now I'm waiting while doing everything I want to do in a place where I'm not sick. Forget all the hard times and protect me and my family in a painless place. Director Kwon, who has always been cool and pretty in my eyes, I love you."
