Actor Kwon Sang Woo attends fan's funeral

[asth77.livejournal.com]

kwon Sang-woo has showed his fans another soft side to his cool, collected, and chiseled exterior.

Kwon recently made a condolence call as soon as he landed in Korea from the 65th Cannes Film Festival to honor the death of a long-time fan of his.

In fact, earlier this year in April, when the now late fan was still alive fighting stomach cancer in the hospital, Kwon had paid a visit.
He was informed of the fan's illness through a fan letter sent on her behalf by a friend, telling the actor about the dying girl's wish to meet him.

Months later, with the passing of that very fan, Kwon attended her wake. Even his management reps responded to questions that they had no idea Kwon had even attended the fan's wake alone. The reps cited Kwon's upset feelings upon the news being that this was indeed a fan that knew him and supported him for a long time.

Can the rest of the world be more like this guy?

Two thumbs up for such class and compassion.

I don't follow many actors so he is a nugu, but he went to her wake so deep down clearly he's not the devil. that doesn't mean he's not a shitty human being, but he at least can put that aside for a fan for a little while.

This is sweet. He obviously understands and has a strong connection with his fanbase. I think it's great when a celeb takes time out of his or her schedule to meet with the people who make them who they are, really. I hope the girl has found peace. <3


I'd love it if JYJ sang In Heaven at my funeral, and then Shinhwa closed up the show with Yo!

And then SNSD singing Into The New World at the family reception.


I fantasize a lot about what music I want played at my funeral. >>

that's sweet of him :)

This is really wonderful to hear. The fact that he went out of his way not just to see her while she was still living, but to also to visit her funeral months after the fact says a lot about him. It seems like he valued her as a person, not just as a fan or a face, and that she will stay with him for a long time.
