On February 2, 2025, my angel returned to heaven. First, I would like to extend my deep thanks to all who mourned for Hee-won.

Right now, I am going through a time of indescribable grief and pain that feels like my insides are being torn apart. I had no strength to talk, nor did I want to.

However, even before the period of great loss and mourning passed, some devil-like individuals started to slander our family and my love.

Some walk around pretending to be sad in the rain while others create fake news about insurance and costs to damage our family.

The fact that such bad people truly exist in this world makes me feel afraid. Could you please let our Hee-won rest in peace? I earnestly plead with you.

And regarding the precious inheritance left by Hee-won, everything she saved was through her own blood, sweat, and tears to protect her beloved family. I intend to give all rights regarding my portion to my mother-in-law.

Children's rights will be legally protected through a lawyer, ensuring protection until they reach adulthood.

The times I shared with Hee-won were precious gifts that could not be exchanged for anything in the world. I believe that protecting the family she dearly loved is the last thing I can do.

Lastly, I bow my head in thanks to everyone who loved and mourned for our Hee-won.

– Hee-won’s eternal love, Jun-jun –
