Actor Song Joong Ki recently paid a heartfelt tribute to the late Lee Sun Kyun during his appearance on MBC Radio FM4U‘s A Perfect Day with Lee Sang Soon on December 24. Song appeared on the show to promote his latest film Bogota, but took a moment to honor Lee Sun Kyun’s memory.

This is an OST from the drama My Mister, which many people love. I really wanted to play this song for everyone.

He went on to reveal that he recently began rewatching the series and noted that the date of the broadcast was close to Lee Sun Kyun’s death anniversary.
I recently started rewatching the K-Drama, and in a few days, it will also be the death anniversary of my beloved hyung, Lee Sun Kyun. I miss him so much.

Song Joong Ki’s admiration for Lee Sun Kyun has been evident in his previous appearances.
