South Korean actor Kim Woo-bin on Sunday (Aug 27) penned a heartfelt post on Instagram along with photos of a view from inside a plane and a fan letter.

In the post, the 34-year-old thanked a female fan known as Ji-won, who recently died due to a “sudden decline in health”.

He expressed his gratitude for her ardent support of his activities, which gave him strength.

“I won’t think of it as parting, and on the day we meet again, let’s take many pictures together and talk a lot,” Kim wrote, adding that he will keep her in his thoughts.

“I’m grateful again and again that I had a fan like you. I promise we’ll meet again someday.”

The star of Netflix action series Black Knight (2023) reportedly attended her funeral, and sent a wreath and offered condolence money.

In the comment section of Kim’s post, a netizen who identified herself as Ji-won’s sister thanked the actor on behalf of their parents for turning up and giving them strength and comfort as they grieved.

She added that his visit made them “feel so much better” and Ji-won would find his final farewell to her “comforting”. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
