MBC Memorial Special Documentary aired on the 28th 'Actor Lee Soon-jae, I owe you a lotIn ', the late actor Lee Soon-jae, who was 'national actor' and 'adult of the times' was honored.
Earlier this year, MBC began producing a documentary with Lee Soon-jae's permission to organize his acting life. However, the documentary production was stopped due to Lee Soon-jae's rapid deterioration, and eventually, the documentary he was producing for the tribute was released as a memorial document in three days, whether in his funeral or not.
Lee Soon-jae's last appearance was revealed for the first time on the show, drawing attention. Even in his hospital bed, he expressed his passion for acting, saying, "(When I get healthy) all I want to do is work." The representative of the agency said "Teacher, I think you can recover your body and prepare slowly, so please take it easy." Lee Soon-jae nodded without saying anything, giving him an inkling.
The CEO of the agency was surprised by confessing that Lee Soon-jae was already fully ill and both eyes were on the verge of blindness at the time of filming the KBS 2TV drama 『GaeSori』, which received the Best Actor Award last year. He said "Not many of you know, but it wasn't like you couldn't see your left eye and you couldn't see your right eye 100%. Nevertheless, the teacher told me that I should train acting the same as before and that I should do more because I can't see it. "I asked my manager to read it aloud because I couldn't see what was most heartbreaking. He said he'd memorize what you read. It was very heartbreaking at that time," he said, crying.
Then "Thank you so much for giving me the acting award at the end, so I think you gave me your wish." At that time, when the teacher was in a bad condition, I remember him bragging about it when he came here after receiving the award. You said it's heavy, but I think the teacher's 70 years of acting and years are melted in that" he said.

In addition, the representative of the production company 'Waiting for Godot', which was Lee Soon-jae's last activity, was in a condition that he could not perform. He recalled that he couldn't walk or talk properly, so he cried to the teacher and prayed, `Let's cancel today's performance.'
Actor Kai, who worked with Lee Soon-jae on stage at the time, repeated that he really wanted to keep his promise to the audience. He said he didn't want to hurt me either. He kept repeating that he didn't want to harm me because he knew so well how precious one stage was to them. He finished the performance for about an hour and a half without missing his lines from beginning to end and went straight to the emergency room."

The CEO of the agency said, `I miss you. I want to meet you earlier in the next life. I'll see you earlier and serve you. You'll do well. Let's meet again in the next life." Actor Baek Il-seop "If you go that way or if you can act again, reduce it to general and think about your body." Nam Il-woo and Oh Hyun-kyung are all here, so get together and play go-stop and just be happy. Don't suffer too much. If it's our appointment, I have to go at your age, but I want to stay a little longer, but I don't know. Goodbye, brother," he said calmly.
Lee Seo-jin, who had a strong relationship with Lee Soon-jae through MBC drama 『Isan" and tvN entertainment 『Grandpas Over Flowers』, recorded and said, 'There is something I want to say to the teacher," he said with a heartfelt message. He said "Sir, I'm sorry I can't be with you on this trip"It caused me to sob."
