Actor Rhee Minjung visited to pay respects after actor the late Ahn Sung-ki's death and, after refusing to make a heart pose at an official event, mourned the late actor after attending the condolence visit.
Rhee Minjung said on the 7th, "I went to pay my respects to teacher and was coming back when this photo suddenly arrived and surprised me… Teacher was truly warm and wonderful…. I will always remember you…."
In the photo released with this, Rhee Minjung is smiling brightly next to Ahn Sung-ki, who was battling blood cancer.
Earlier, Rhee Minjung showed a cautious attitude at an official event she attended after the late Ahn Sung-ki's death. On the 6th, Rhee Minjung attended the "2026 Korea First Brand Awards" ceremony held at the Shilla Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul, wearing a neat black dress and standing at the photo wall.
Rhee Minjung posed with a subdued smile only, without gestures, as the late Ahn Sung-ki had passed. Her neatly tied hairstyle, the unadorned black dress, and the white flower pinned to her chest naturally added to the meaning of mourning.
During the photo time, when a request for a heart pose came from the reporters, Rhee Minjung briefly looked away and showed signs of being flustered. The host then said, "Then today is…" and did not continue, and no further requests followed. As if reading the flow of the scene, Rhee Minjung also responded with a polite smile and then finished the photo time.
That day Rhee Minjung won the brand award as YouTuber "MJ," but rather than showing joy for the award, she appeared to be trying to observe proper etiquette because of the news of the bereavement delivered the day before.
