Actor Bong Tae-gyu paid tribute to the late Kim Joo-hyuk.
On the 30th, Bong Tae-gyu posted a single photo on his social media without any explanation. The released photo was taken at the 2005 premiere of the film Gwangsik's Younger Brother Gwangtae, showing Bong Tae-gyu and the late Kim Joo-hyuk affectionately with their arms around each other. The two actors' youthful days, with fresh smiles, draw attention.
In the film, Kim Joo-hyuk played the introverted older brother Gwangsik, who spends his time pining in unrequited love, while Bong Tae-gyu played the cute womanizing younger brother Gwangtae, showing chemistry like real brothers. The film drew quiet emotion and empathy, surpassing 2 million viewers.
Bong Tae-gyu brought up this photo because the day was exactly Kim Joo-hyuk's eighth anniversary. He died in an unexpected car accident on Oct. 30, 2017. He was 45 at the time.
Kim Joo-hyuk appeared in numerous works including the films Singles, Cheong-yeon, Believer, Confession, the drama Lovers in Prague, and Argon, and was also beloved as "Koo-taeng-i hyung" through the variety show 2 Days & 1 Night. He was an actor who left a deep impression on the public with his warm smile and serious acting.
In response to Bong Tae-gyu's quiet tribute, internet users paid their respects together with comments such as thank you for not forgetting and remembering, still miss you, and I want to watch Kim Joo-hyuk's works again.
