The meeting between actor Seo Bum-june and mentor Yoo Ji-tae left a quiet, emotional impression.
On the 30th, the MBC variety show I Live Alone revealed Seo Bum-june's Seochon bakery pilgrimage and a meaningful meeting. That day, Seo Bum-june, after thorough preparation including drafting a schedule, visited popular bakeries throughout Seochon and carefully collected signature menu items one by one.
Seo Bum-june even wrote meticulously on a memo how to eat the bread to make it taste best, completing a "bread gift set." Carrying the carefully prepared gift, he headed to Konkuk University. There, actor Yoo Ji-tae, who had formed a connection with Seo Bum-june about 10 years earlier through a YouTube channel, was serving as a professor.
Yoo Ji-tae, who welcomed Seo Bum-june, expressed his pleasure, saying, "You look even more handsome," and said, "I prepared this because I heard you like bread," as he took out the dessert he had prepared himself. In particular, Yoo Ji-tae sincerely congratulated Seo Bum-june, who recently won a supporting actor award for the drama "Would You Marry Me?."
Seo Bum-june recalled, "The first time I met you was in 2016. Exactly 10 years have passed," and Yoo Ji-tae said, "We said we'd meet again in 10 years, but I didn't expect we'd meet like this. It's truly a miraculous thing," unable to hide his pride.
While they were talking, Seo Bum-june, as if the past 10 years came to mind, choked up and showed tears, and Yoo Ji-tae, watching this, repeatedly said, "Amazing," his eyes reddening. Yoo Ji-tae calmly conveyed, "It's not that I'm an actor because of something else. I know your heart very well," warmly encouraging his junior.
The meeting between the two, filled with sincerity and heartfelt feelings, left a deep resonance as a moment supporting both Seo Bum-june's past and his path forward.<
