Veteran actor Park Geun Hyung spoke about fellow actors who have recently died.
On Tuesday’s KBS 1TV talk show “Morning Yard,” Park appeared as a guest.
Park said it was his first time on the program in 10 years. He recalled previously greeting viewers on the show while appearing in the play “Father” with the late Yoon So Jung.
After Park added that he had also appeared on the show when Lee Geum Hee and Lee Sang Byeok were hosts, presenter Um Ji In said, “This winter, we said goodbye to many teachers we loved. That’s why your presence feels so significant.”
Park replied, “Now that they’ve all gone, it feels like my turn may be coming,” adding that the empty seats left behind make it seem as though he has stepped into their place. “I should work even harder for those who have passed,” he said.
Meanwhile, “The Dresser,” starring Park and Oh Man Seok, is set in a provincial town in Britain during World War II and follows a theater troupe preparing a production of Shakespeare’s “King Lear.” The play runs through March 1 at the National Theater of Korea’s Daloreum Theater.
