Actor Choi Deok Moon has shared his heartfelt farewell to SBS's Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia, expressing his sadness as the medical drama prepares to air its final episode on November 14.
Throughout the series, Choi Deok Moon played Yang Eung Gu, an eccentric traditional Korean medicine practitioner known for his wild, explosion-like hairstyle, unusual North Korean accent, and warm personality.
Despite his quirky appearance, Yang Eung Gu became a memorable supporting character by bringing humor and comfort to the tense medical drama.
His character often helped ease conflicts involving Kim Ji Won's character, Gye Su Jeong, and Lee Jung Eun's character, Jang Hee Suk.
In one memorable moment, he jokingly blamed Jang Hee Suk for the way Su Jeong had been raised, turning an uncomfortable situation into a lighthearted exchange.
He also showed his caring side through small gestures, including preparing rabbit-shaped apple slices for Su Jeong when she was feeling overwhelmed.
Beyond his humorous personality, Yang Eung Gu was portrayed as a North Korean defector and skilled traditional medicine practitioner with a remarkable past, adding emotional depth to the character.
Ahead of the finale, Choi Deok Moon shared his closing thoughts through his agency, Hodoo&U Entertainment, on November 14.
“I can't believe 'Doctor X' is already ending. As always, I'm filled with sadness,” he said.
The actor also expressed how much he would miss the people he worked with throughout filming.
“I'll miss the director, the writer, Gye Su Jeong, Director Jang, and Mi Kyung,” he shared.
Looking back on the production, Choi Deok Moon compared the enjoyable filming atmosphere to his character's unforgettable hairstyle.
“The set of 'Doctor X' was just as interesting and enjoyable as Eung Gu's hairstyle. I sincerely bow my head in gratitude to everyone who watched and supported us,” he said.
He ended his farewell with another playful remark in Yang Eung Gu's distinctive speaking style, maintaining the character's humorous charm until the very end.
With his ability to move between comedy and serious emotional moments, Choi Deok Moon added warmth and personality to Doctor X throughout its run.
The final episode of Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia airs on November 14 at 9:50 PM KST on SBS.
