“Laughter and comfort for viewers”... the late Choi Bool-am's 'clown spirit'

Actor Choi Bool-am long emphasized the "clown spirit" of an actor. He stated that an actor is a being who shares the weight of the public's lives and delivers laughter and comfort. While preparing the documentary, the late Choi Bool-am expressed his feelings, saying, “I want to convey my gratitude to the viewers who have loved me for a long time. That is the heart of a clown.”

“A father who seems to listen to every story”
