On the 14th, Lee Woo-seok, chairman of Dong-A Export Corporation, appeared at the publication commemoration of the memoir… Bright expression, better health
Actor Ahn Sung-ki, who is battling blood cancer, the chairman of the Shin Young-kyun Arts and Culture Foundation, appeared on the 14th and drew attention.
Ahn Sung-ki attended the publication commemoration of ‘Living in Movies’, the memoir of Dong-a Export Corporation Chairman Lee Woo-seok, held at the Cinematheque of the Korea Film Archive in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul on the same day.
Slightly swollen, he attended the event in a black hat and casual attire. He said “It’s okay” to the reporter’s request for his regards.
Ahn Sung-ki greeted Chairman Lee immediately following arriving at the venue, clenched his left fist at the reporter’s request, and shouted “Fight” with a bright expression on his face. Ahn Sung-ki and Chairman Lee have a special relationship. He emerged as a big star by starring in numerous films produced by Chairman Lee, such as ‘Deep Blue Night’ and ‘Chilsu and Mansu’.
He showed a bright expression as he exchanged greetings with fellow filmmakers who recognized him and approached him that day. When his junior Park Joong-hoon approached and greeted him, he was also greeted. At the end of the event, a commemorative photo was taken in front of the stage with the filmmakers. On September 15th, at the ‘Director Bae Chang-ho Special Exhibition’ held at CGV Apgujeong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, he received support from fellow actors, and it was regrettable that he showed a different image than before, but his appearance on this day seemed to be improving compared to that time.

Ahn Seong-gi is the chairman of the Shin Young-kyun Arts and Culture Foundation, which was established in 2011 when the honorary chairman of Hanju Holdings Korea, Shin Young-kyun, made a donation.
He drew attention by revealing the situation at the time of the outbreak in an interview with ‘Interview 365’ on the 19th of last month. He said, “Two years ago, I lost consciousness while exercising at a health club in the neighborhood of Hannam-dong, Seoul. Fortunately, someone close to me reported it, and I was taken to an ambulance, and I woke up in the emergency room. After going through several large hospitals, I found a famous doctor in the field. They met and received treatment consistently.” Then, when asked what he would like to say to filmmakers and fans, he said, “I would like to share with you my hopes of looking forward to the next work. Actors are professionals who serve and dedicate themselves to the audience through acting. Because they gave love through movies, they repay the favor and reciprocate with movies. There is only one way. I hope and pray that I will find a work that can impress our beloved audiences and share joy with them.”
Ahn Sung-ki donated 100 million won to St. Mary’s Hospital in Gangnam, Seoul, saying that Dr. Jo Seok-gu, a hematologist at Gangnam St. Mary’s Hospital, is the primary physician, and once the crisis is over, he hopes that it will be used for patients who lack the cost of treatment in the same situation.
