President Yoon Suk Yeol said "Mr. Kim Min-ki has left us. You've left a lot of things. He made the world brighter with his pure passion to see new things that are taken for granted. History will remember the teacher as an eternal young man with infinite affection for art and the world," former President Moon Jae In mourned, adding, `Kim Min-ki is a man who instilled eternal youth spirit along with the aspiration of democracy in the midst of endless hardships in this harsh era.
