Singer Defconn missed actor the late Kim Ju-hyeok, with whom he worked on "1 Night 2 Days."
On the 6th, a video titled "In autumn... I'm Gepcon! 1 night 2 days in Seosan | And the brother I still want to see" was released on Defconn's YouTube channel, "DefconnTV."
In the video, Defconn went on a 1 night 2 days trip to Seosan and visited a ancestral burial site where Kim Ju-hyeok and his father Kim Moo-saeng are buried. Defconn said he visits this place every year on Kim Ju-hyeok's anniversary and noted, "This year I came a little earlier because of my schedule."
Defconn said, "When we were on '1 Night 2 Days,' the writers and producers I worked with would come down together when they had time, but I came down first. This brother understands everything. Since some time has passed, it's not about going with a heavy mood but visiting with a glad heart. Many people also remember and come to visit."
Holding a can of beer, Defconn said, "This brother couldn't drink much. He liked exactly one can of beer, so I brought one. He would say, 'Prcon, are you here?' and 'I'm watching well,'" expressing his longing.
In particular, Defconn said, "What was really warm about him was that when '1 Night 2 Days' had been running about a year and a half, one day a call came to Joo-hyeok's agency representative team. They said, 'Our Ju-hyeok seems to have to leave because he's joining another project.' He said he felt sorry and couldn't tell the members, worried they'd be upset, so he contacted them first."
According to Defconn, Kim Ju-hyeok originally planned to leave after about a year of appearing, but he ended up staying for a longer two years. Defconn said, "He came in saying he would do it for about a year after talking with the production team, but as he did it he grew attached to the members and it went on for a year and a half," and added, "I'm not someone who usually holds people back, and he was leaving because of the next role, right? I fully understood, but because it was regrettable I said, 'Finish two years and then leave,' and he really completed two years before leaving. That's remarkable."
Meanwhile, Kim Ju-hyeok died on Oct. 30, 2017, after a car overturned near Yeongdong-daero in Samseong-dong, Seoul.
