Won Bin, who has been away from the spotlight for years, made a rare public appearance to pay respects to the late Kim Sae Ron.

On February 17th, a funeral altar for Kim Sae Ron was set up at the Seoul Asan Medical Center. Her parents and younger sisters, Kim Ah Ron and Kim Ye Ron, stood as chief mourners.

Upon hearing the tragic news, Won Bin and his wife, actress Lee Na Young, sent a condolence wreath. The ribbon on the wreath read, "Deepest condolences for the deceased."

But that wasn’t all—Won Bin also visited the funeral hall in person. The actor, who starred alongside Kim Sae Ron in the 2010 hit film The Man from Nowhere, has been on a long hiatus from the entertainment industry.

However, he made a rare public appearance to personally offer his condolences, showing his deep respect for his former co-star.

Actresses Han So Hee and Kim Bo Ra were also spotted at the funeral. Kim Bo Ra’s condolence wreath had a heartfelt message that read, "When we meet again, I’ll nag you less."

Other celebrities also sent condolence wreaths, including actors Gong Myung, Ma Dong Seok, and the band FTISLAND. ASTRO’s MJ and Jinjin also sent a wreath on behalf of their agency, Fantagio.

Blitzway Studio, which represents stars like Go Doo Shim, Jung Ryeo Won, Joo Ji Hoon, Son Dam Bi, Chun Woo Hee, Park Ha Sun, and Woo Do Hwan, also expressed their condolences.

Even Kim Se Ui, the head of the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute, sent a wreath to honor Kim Sae Ron.

Won Bin’s sudden public appearance after years of hiatus has left many netizens emotional, with fans remembering his special bond with Kim Sae Ron from The Man from Nowhere.

Actor Lee Yi Kyung surprised viewers by revealing his extremely frugal lifestyle, which he says comes from his father.

On the February 20 episode of tvN STORY’s A Billion-Won Breakfast, Lee Yi Kyung’s simple morning routine was shown.

Appearing on camera with a sleepy, puffy face, he laughed and said, “I look terrible. This is the real me.”

Dr. Oh Eun Young was surprised to see him waking up early at 6 AM, but Lee Yi Kyung explained, “I can’t sleep in.”

What caught the most attention was how he stayed warm in the winter. Instead of using the boiler, he turned on a small heater.

He said, “My father always did this. Even now, he wears a lightweight padded jacket at home. He says wearing one in winter is enough to stay warm.”

Hearing this, Dr. Oh Eun Young commented, “If you catch a cold, the medical expenses will cost more. Being frugal is good, but this might make marriage difficult.”

Lee Yi Kyung responded with a laugh, saying, “People say that a lot. But whoever marries me can just turn on the boiler. I’ll just turn it off in my own space.”

Despite his father being a former CEO, Lee Yi Kyung has kept up his simple way of living. Fans were both shocked and amused by his extreme frugality!
