Actor Park Eun-soo, who played the role of "Il-yong" in "The Power Diary," was saddened by the news of the death of "Il-yong's tusks" Kim Soo-mi, saying, "A great actor has gone."

In a phone call with YTN today (25th), Park Eun-soo said, "Kim Soo-mi was a very good actor. "I had a really amazing acting ability and quick response," he recalled when he played with the deceased.

He said, "I think it was Kim Soo-mi who saved the country diary. There are also Choi Bul-am and Kim Hye-ja, but it is not an exaggeration to say that Kim Soo-mi was the one who saved the taste. He mourned, saying, "It's a shame that you're a great actor."

He said, "I would have become a big actor just by acting, but I think that I've damaged my health by doing too much work and doing business... I feel so sorry for him," he said, praying for the deceased's repose.

According to the police, the deceased was transferred to Seoul St. Mary's Hospital in Seocho-gu at around 8 a.m. due to cardiac arrest, but was eventually pronounced dead. He was 75. The late

debuted in 1970 as MBC's third-term public talent.
