Ha Ji-won formed a relationship with the deceased through MBC 'The King to Hearts' in 2010, and has shown such respect that he served as a fan club member of the deceased, who did not have a fan club during his lifetime.
Ha Ji-won "I still can't believe I have to let the teacher go here today. I think I can hear the teacher's firm voice from somewhere even now" expressed sorrow.
Ha Ji-won then recalled the memories of the deceased, and why is the teacher's acting more and more difficult?When I asked ', the teacher said 'Man, it's hard for me now, too'. That one word was a great comfort to me and a word that kept my heart for a long time."
Ha Ji-won said, "The teacher was not only an actor representing Korea, but also a true artist who did not lose his humility in front of acting until the end and did not stop asking questions to himself. "For me, he is also the biggest teacher who showed me how to live as an actor with actions and attitudes."
Finally, Ha Ji-won vowed to be an actor who is honest in front of the work, warm in front of people, and unashamed by the teacher, who does not lose modesty until the end in front of the acting. "I will sincerely thank you and remember it deeply. Teacher, I love you. "From Ha Ji-won, the president of your forever fan club," he sobbed at the end of his memorial speech.

Then he said "The teacher told me one day. 'Youngchul, it's not easy to live every day. You have to always live humbly and sincerely" and recalled "How much strength that one word is, and now the depth of its resonance reaches.'
Kim Young-chul "The teacher always looked at everyone warmly. When someone looked tired, he handed over more with his eyes than with words. Even now, I still can't forget that moment. "It's subtle, but the big temperature changed the day and life of my junior." The attitude of life, the attitude of work, the generosity and rigor of dealing with people that you have shown throughout your life are in our hearts."
Then "Thank you for your hard work. Teacher. I and many juniors will remember you for a long time. Thank you, and I respect you. And I will miss you so much. I'll never forget it."
