Actress Jung Ryeo-won paid tribute to the late director Ahn Pan-seok.
On August 14, Jung expressed her feelings on social media, stating, "Director, I still can't believe it. I had prepared my heart, but I still don't know how to feel."
She continued, "Thank you for igniting a spark in the hearts of many actors. You have no idea how hard we worked to earn that 'first place' stamp you gave us. I was happy to be able to work with that mindset throughout the filming."
Jung also expressed gratitude for Ahn's guidance, saying, "Thank you for teaching me to live closely with words. Because you focused more on less rather than more, I began to see the essence of things."
She added, "I think I now understand why you emphasized being over doing. I appreciate that you never compromised on certain things on set."
In closing, she shared, "I was really holding it together, but I ended up crying a lot when I heard a Beatles song at the funeral home. Director, may you rest in peace."
According to reports from the broadcasting industry, Director Ahn passed away on August 12 after suffering a brain hemorrhage and receiving treatment. He was 65 years old.
Ahn joined MBC in 1987 and created numerous hit productions over his nearly 40-year career, including 'The Couple', 'White Tower', 'The Wife's Qualification', 'Secret Affair', 'Heard It Through the Grapevine', 'Something in the Rain', 'Spring Night', 'Graduation', and 'Negotiation Skills'.
