Actor Choi Yeo-jin shared her feelings about parting with the pets she raised like a son and daughter as the year-end approaches.
On the 28th, Choi Yeo-jin wrote on her social account, "I got married, which I thought would never happen in my life, and the farewell with my two beloved pets, Adam and Hawa, whom I thought would be eternal, came together. I didn't even realize Christmas that should have been joyful had arrived; I went through the painful time of farewell — actually, honestly, I'm still going through it," she said.
Choi Yeo-jin said, "I still can't believe it, and I call the babies' names many times a day. The happy and precious memories I had with the kids have somehow become a sharp blade that, together with the cold weather, digs into every corner of my heart.. It hurts! I'm realizing how cruel memories can be. If I get too sad, I wonder if I'll try to stop them from leaving; I can't openly cry."
She continued, "Hold each other on the frightening road to the afterlife so it's not scary; we believe you went well to the dog star! Mom and dad will always be here, so if you ever want to see us, come! My reliable eldest son Adam who always protected me. Hawa who was always full of charm and love. I'm sorry I couldn't love you more!" she said.
Meanwhile, Choi Yeo-jin married a sports businessman seven years her senior on June 1.
Below is the full text from Choi Yeo-jin
2025 has been a year that brought me many changes.
I got married, which I thought would never be in my life.
My two pets, whom I thought would be eternal.
I also faced the farewell with Adam and Hawa.
I didn't even realize Christmas that should have been joyful had arrived.
I went through the painful time of farewell.
No, honestly, I'm still going through it.
I still can't believe it.
I call the babies' names many times a day.
The happy and precious memories I had with the kids
have somehow become such a sharp blade
together with the cold weather
that they dig into every corner of my heart.. It hurts!
I'm realizing how cruel memories can be.
If I get too sad, the kids
I might try to hold back their departing steps; I can't openly cry.
When they were alive they were so close and affectionate that they never parted, always hugging.
Hawa, the wife who left unexpectedly because of illness
For some reason in a hurry, Adam followed after just 10 days.
It seems the wife was preferred over mom and dad.
Hold each other on the frightening road to the afterlife so it's not scary.
Mom and dad will believe you went well to the dog star!
Mom and dad will always be here,
so if you ever want to see us, come!
My reliable eldest son Adam who always protected me.
Hawa, always the affectionate, lovable one.
I'm sorry I couldn't love you more!
It was a short time, but thank you for living as my son and daughter.
So many... I think I'll miss you so much!
I love you, my babies. I miss you so much, my babies.
Goodbye, pretty ones! My cuties!!
See you in my dreams.
I will miss you so, so much!!!
