Singer and producer Jay Park lost his most precious friend.
On the 27th, Park Jae-beom uploaded a long post in English to his social account.
Through the post, Park Jae-beom announced that his most precious friend had passed away. He said, "When I heard the news, my heart sank. I still don't know what to do, and it doesn't feel real," expressing his numb feelings.
He continued, "You were such a good person and a good brother. I'm thankful for all the memories we shared, the jokes, the little fights, and all the time," expressing gratitude to the friend who had always supported him since middle school.
He said, "We always wished the best for each other and were always on each other's side. A friend like you is hard to find, and that's why I wanted to keep you by my side all these years. We grew up together, influenced and inspired each other, and even after becoming adults looked out for one another. I thank God for sending you into my life. Now God must have called you closer. Watch over us from there," he confessed.
He also said, "I hate that I have to write something like this. But you were a person who had a positive influence on many people, and therefore you deserve to be remembered, honored and mourned," adding, "I usually don't post personal matters online, but I know this is something you would have wanted. You always asked me to post your photos. But I didn't want to post them like this."
He added, "You will continue to live in all of our hearts. I still can't believe and I'm angry that you left without saying goodbye," and "We'll meet again someday up there. Keep a warm spot for me," he offered a loving final farewell.

To my most precious friend, Po.
When I heard the news, my heart sank. I still don't know what to do, and it doesn't feel real. I wish we could have hung out or talked one last time, but I guess this is life.
You were such a good person and a good brother. I'm thankful for all the memories we shared, the jokes, the little fights, and all the time. From middle school through college, Aom, Aomg, H1GHR Music, More Vision, and even Won Soju, you were always there and cheered for my success and wished me the best. And I'm glad I could share all of this with you.
We always wished the best for each other and were always on each other's side. A friend like you is hard to find, and that's why I wanted to keep you by my side all these years. I wish I had contacted you more; I know you hated burdening others and had a warm heart that always wanted people to do well.
I always looked forward to taking time off work to travel with you and spend days laughing and talking about meaningless things. Those moments were the happiest times of my life; then I felt alive and human, and that was the feeling of being "myself." We grew up together, influenced and inspired each other, and even after becoming adults looked out for one another. I thank God for sending you into my life. Now God must have called you closer. Watch over us from there, brother.
I hate that I have to write something like this. But you were a person who had a positive influence on many people, and therefore you deserve to be remembered, honored and mourned. I usually don't post personal matters online, but I know this is something you would have wanted. You always asked me to post your photos. But I didn't want to post them like this.
You will continue to live in all of our hearts. I still can't believe and I'm angry that you left without saying goodbye. We'll meet again someday up there, you rascal. Keep a warm spot for me.
I love you, Po.
