Song Joong Ki opened up about the late Lee Sun Kyun’s role in the drama My Mister during a recent appearance on KBS 2TV’s The Seasons - Lee Young-ji’s Rainbow, and it left everyone emotional.
On the January 10 episode, Song Joong Ki was a guest on the music program, where he shared his thoughts about the impact My Mister had on him. He started by saying, “I’m nervous, but it’s an honor. Honestly, this studio isn’t unfamiliar to me. It feels like home, and I hosted Music Bank 10 years ago. I also did live broadcasts for two years." He added, “Back then, I wasn’t nervous, but since this is a music program, I feel a bit tense.”
When asked about his music preferences, Song Joong Ki said, “My wife learned about Korean culture through me and started listening to it. I like music by Jannabi. I often play it in the car, almost like a habit. My wife’s favorite song is ‘For Hesitant Lovers’ by Jannabi. I also like songs by Kwak Jin-eon. I end up listening to what I like, and even though I don’t understand the lyrics, I still enjoy it.”
Then, he got more personal, saying, “When I want comfort or when I want to lean on someone, I watch My Mister. It’s the song ‘The Reflection of Myself in My Heart’ that Kwak Jin-eon remade. It’s a drama that gave me a lot of comfort.”
Song Joong Ki’s mention of My Mister was especially touching because it features Lee Sun Kyun, who passed away on December 27, 2023, at the age of 48. Lee Sun Kyun had been found dead in his vehicle near Waryong Park in Seoul.
The late actor had been under investigation for drug-related charges starting in October 2022, but after a forensic investigation, the results were negative, and his case was closed. He passed away before any prosecution took place.
Song Joong-ki’s heartfelt tribute to Lee Sun Kyun through My Mister shows just how much the drama and the late actor meant to him. His comments on the show have touched fans, as it shows a deeper, emotional side of the actor beyond his role in dramas.
