Jo Jung-suk said, “In terms of roles, the late Lee Sun-kyun and I were on the same side, while Yoo Jae-myung was our adversary. On set, we were like three brothers, having a lot of fun together.”

He added, “I’ve said this in official settings before, but actor Lee Sun-kyun was a wonderful older brother, and when he acted, he was passionate. He was definitely someone warm-hearted. That’s how I remember him.”
