Singer Tae Jin-ah conveyed his feelings after saying goodbye to the late Song Dae-kwan.
On the 21st, a video titled 'Emergency Arrangement. Tae Jin-ah's first confession after the loss of Song Dae-kwan' was released on the YouTube channel of actor Noh Joo-hyun.
Noh Joo-hyun wrote in the description section of the video, 'I met my dear junior Tae Jin-ah. After hearing the sad news of Mr. Song Dae-kwan's passing, I visited to offer my condolences. I pray for the soul of the deceased.'
In the video, Tae Jin-ah, who met Noh Joo-hyun, said, 'I only drank alcohol for five days. I couldn't eat. From the sixth day, I started eating while trying to gather my thoughts,' conveying his emotionally difficult situation.
Recalling the time he heard the news of Song Dae-kwan's passing, Tae Jin-ah said, 'We had talked about doing a dinner show for Parents' Day in May. Since he said it sounded good, I looked for hotels and thought about how to proceed, but the next morning, he passed away. That day, I woke up late, and the company contacted me saying that senior Song Dae-kwan had passed away.'
He continued, 'The important thing is stress. All that wealth is gone,' and Noh Joo-hyun lamented, 'It’s unfortunate that he struggled so much in his later years.'
Song Dae-kwan was embroiled in fraud allegations due to his wife's real estate and investment failures in 2013. Although he was acquitted by the Supreme Court, his assets worth about 50 billion won went to banks, and he was also in debt of about 28 billion won. It is known that he managed to repay most of it by performing at events despite his old age.
Meanwhile, Song Dae-kwan passed away on the 7th.
