While crying, the actor kept saying, 'He is gone, he's left us', and then continued to say, "My Cha Eun Woo is gone', which made everyone on the show realise what he had been referring to with the date. The show's host, Ddol-ddol , empathised with him while offering more tissues to the actor. He also shared, "It makes sense for you to cry.
