On the 25th, Jin Ji-hee said, `The seriousness of the acting you showed me, the responsibility on stage, and the attitude of life beyond the path of acting..I was truly grateful because I was able to see and learn everything from the teacher's side"A lot of moments I shared with my teacher..I will keep all the time in my heart for the conversation on the set and the tension and excitement I felt while making eye contact with the teacher on stage. The warm heart you left me, I will always remember and keep it" in memory of Lee Soon-jae.
Jin Ji-hee worked with Lee Soon-jae as a grandfather and granddaughter on MBC 'High Kick Through the Roof'. Since then, they have reunited with the play 'Seagull' and have fond memories. In response, Jin Ji-hee left memories with Lee Soon-jae with photos she had with Lee Soon-jae during her lifetime.
Lee Soon-jae passed away at the age of 91. Lee Soon-jae, who debuted as a first-term KBS talent after graduating from Seoul National University's philosophy department, was the oldest active actor until last year, appearing in plays 'Waiting for Godot' and KBS2's'GaeSori'.
The mortuary of the deceased was set up in Room 30 of the funeral hall of Asan Medical Center in Seoul. As a result, numerous junior actors are coming to pay their respects and saying their final greetings to the deceased.
