Actor Jeong Bo-seok conveyed the news of reuniting with the cast of 'High Kick Through the Roof' after about 15 years, mentioning Lee Soon-jae's health and raising concerns among fans.
On the 14th, Jeong Bo-seok shared multiple photos on his social media with a message saying, 'I met the 'High Kick' family. A lot of time has passed, but my heart is still there.'
The photos featured the bright smiles of the 'High Kick' members who reunited for an advertisement shoot. This marks a reunion after an incredible 15 years. Despite the long time that has passed, familiar faces, including Jeong Bo-seok, Oh Hyun-kyeong, Julien Kang, and Jin Ji-hee, displayed their enduring family chemistry, catching attention.
However, what caught the fans' attention was the fact that Lee Soon-jae was absent from the advertisement shoot. Jeong Bo-seok noted, 'I hope Lee Soon-jae gets better soon,' adding a prayer emoji, expressing his affectionate feelings for Lee Soon-jae, who played the father role in the series.
Lee Soon-jae previously withdrew from the play 'Waiting for Godot' due to health issues and has not engaged in significant activities since attending the '2024 KBS Acting Awards' at the end of last year, leading to concerns about his well-being. In particular, his absence from the '37th Korean PD Awards' held last April intensified rumors about his health.
The representative from his agency, who accepted the award on his behalf, stated, 'The teacher could not attend because he was feeling a bit unwell. He expressed his gratitude to the staff and judges,' adding, 'He is a little sick. He needs encouragement and support from many people,' which heightened fans' concerns.
The reunion of the 'High Kick' family was heartwarming, but the absence of Lee Soon-jae in the gathering made it even more poignant.
