On the 23rd, the 16th Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards in 2025 were held at the Haeoreum Theater of the National Theater in Jangchung-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul.
On this day, Jeong Dong-hwan was awarded the Deputy Cultural Medal. While delivering his acceptance speech, he expressed his longing for his best friend Jeon Yoo-sung.
He then mentioned Lee Soon-jae, saying, `If there is another heartbreaking thing.' Jeong Dong-hwan "I do a lot of strangely boring and long plays. There is also a work that lasts seven and a half hours, and there is someone who has come and encouraged me without missing a single time. It's so heartbreaking that he's not here right now. "I know he's not in good health right now. It's Lee Soon-jae. I will pray for your health to recover."
Lee Soon-jae, the oldest active actor in Korea at the age of 90 this year, has been embroiled in health rumors since last year, drawing public concerns. In fact, he was dropped from one of his works due to health problems.
Regarding Lee Soon-jae's health, the agency said in August "Currently, Lee Soon-jae is actively rehabilitating due to a decrease in muscle strength due to his old age. There are no other health abnormalities. However, because he is over 90 this year, recovery is slower and rehabilitation takes longer than young people. While rehabilitating, I'm also preparing for my next movie and drama. "I'm well aware of the public's concerns about Lee Soon-jae, but if you wait a little longer, I'll be back in front of the public in good health."
