Solbi expressed her love for her deceased father.
On the 21st, Channel A's "Best Friends Documentary – A Table for Four" (hereafter referred to as A Table for Four) featured singer and artist Solbi inviting her close friends, Shinwa's Lee Min-woo, Brian, and Kwon Hyuk-soo.
On that day, Solbi welcomed her friends while she was painting. Her friends jokingly started with comments like, "Isn't this too scripted?" and "It feels like you're holding the brush in a hurry." Solbi also quipped back, "Are they boys over flowers? They are all about the same height. Hyuk-soo, I thought you were a bit taller," which drew laughter.
Solbi recalled her father, who passed away three years ago. She said, "Dad was quite unique. I think Yubeolnam might take after him. He never saw me as anything special. He passed away at 80, but he wore sunglasses even indoors. I had a feeling he acknowledged my world."
She continued, "At first, they teased him as a 4-dimensional, foolish person. When I told my dad, he said that playing the fool isn't something anyone can do. He always respected what I wanted to do. He quietly said, 'Do what you want to do. No one else is going to live for you.'"
Solbi said, "I didn't expect him to go so soon. When he was alive, he was a florist and ran a flower shop. If he were still here, I would want to show him my paintings. He passed away without seeing them. He cherished his youngest daughter so much. I think he would say, 'My daughter is amazing.' Perhaps he is watching my paintings in his own heaven."
Hearing this, Kwon Hyuk-soo said, "The person who loved me the most while I was active was my father. Whenever we went to a restaurant, he would say, 'Kwon Hyuk-soo is coming in.' He did this just in case someone wouldn't recognize him. My father is a taxi driver, and it's obvious he is Kwon Hyuk-soo's father. My photo is right next to his taxi driver license. There's also a photo in the back seat. He continuously renews it with the best-looking pictures. He once seriously considered wrapping the exterior of his car. I told him, 'Absolutely not.'"
Brian said, "Our dad was the same. After debuting, whenever I went home to the U.S., I always went to Koreatown first. I always go to a Korean restaurant," eliciting laughter by mentioning he would sing as he entered the restaurant.
