“Youth of May” cast members have expressed gratitude ahead of the finale!

The KBS romance drama is about medical student Hwang Hee Tae (Lee Do Hyun) and nurse Kim Myung Hee (Go Min Si), who fall in love amidst the whirlwind of events that take place in May 1980—a historically significant time period in South Korea. The 12th and final episode is set to air on June 8.

Ahead of the finale, Lee Do Hyun commented via his agency Yuehua Entertainment, “I can’t believe that ‘Youth of May’ is ending. First of all, I sincerely thank the viewers and fans who gave love and support.”

He continued, “It was a great honor to work with the directors, writer, and all of the actors. I think I was able to do well thanks to all of the guidance and help I received.” Lee Do Hyun concluded, “I was so happy to meet the passionate youth Hwang Hee Tae, and I think this will become an unforgettable memory.”

Go Min Si shared via her agency Mystic Story, “I express gratitude to the viewers who sent lots of love to the drama ‘Youth of May’ and Kim Myung Hee. I think the time I spent crying and smiling through 2021’s May 1980 will be remembered as a valuable memory forever.”

She commented, “Filming for almost half a year from the cold winter last year through the especially rainy spring, I grew really attached to Myung Hee, and it still hasn’t hit me that I have to send her away now. The beautiful and brilliant spring days as well as the youths of everyone who lived during that time became valuable to me while acting.” She concluded, “We were all youths, and I hope this drama will be like a gift to the many people who are also experiencing youth right now. Always be youth.”

Lee Sang Yi relayed through his agency PLK Good Friends, “It feels bittersweet every time I finish a project, but this time I especially feel a strange emotion that makes a corner of my heart ache.” He went on, “I want to express my gratitude to all of the staff who allowed me to join a great drama including writer Lee Kang, director Song Min Yeob, and director Lee Dae Kyung, and you have all worked so hard. Also, I enjoyed and was happy to work with all of the actors including Lee Do Hyun, Go Min Si, and Geum Sae Rok in ‘Youth of May.'”

Lee Sang Yi went on to share that the drama and his character Lee Soo Chan were a new challenge that allowed him to grow as an actor and concluded, “More than anything, I sincerely thank the viewers who always watch and send endless love, and I hope many people will remember ‘Youth of May’ for a long, long time.”

Geum Sae Rok took on the role of Kim Myung Hee’s close friend Lee Soo Ryun. On her Instagram, she posted a series of photos taken on set and with fellow actors Go Min Si, Lee Sang Yi, and Lee Do Hyun. Her simple caption reads, “May 2021.”
