Actor Lee Ju-seung shared news that he had laid his grandfather to rest at the national cemetery after his passing, expressing deep condolences.
On the 24th, Lee Ju-seung posted on his social media a photo containing his grandfather's remains along with a message.
Lee Ju-seung wrote, "A respected Korean War veteran who passed away at 97, a warm teacher, and my beloved grandfather, farewell. Rest in peace." He added, "We laid him to rest at the national cemetery today. Thank you for mourning with us," expressing gratitude for the condolences and comfort.
The released photo included a mortuary box bearing the deceased's name, which moved viewers deeply. The news that the deceased, a national meritorious person, was laid to rest at the national cemetery added further significance.
The late Lee Jong-gyu died at the age of 97 on the 22nd. He served as an officer during the Korean War and, after discharge, worked as an elementary school teacher, dedicating his life to education. At the funeral hall, Lee Ju-seung received mourners as the chief mourner and accompanied him on his final journey amid sadness.
Earlier, he revealed memories of growing up at his grandparents' home on MBC's I Live Alone. Because he had previously shown special affection for his grandfather, this sad news is all the more heartbreaking.
The life of the deceased—who devoted himself to the nation as a veteran, was a teacher who spent his life with students, and was a warm grandfather to his grandson—leaves a quiet resonance along with his grandson Lee Ju-seung's restrained words of mourning.
