Long before I met Sohee, I admired him deeply, considering him more like an older brother than just a celebrity. His genuine kindness and positive outlook were evident to anyone who knew him. He was always gracious and kind to his fans, greeting them with a warm smile. Anyone who interacted with him would agree that he had an exceptionally generous heart.
