Singer Koo Jun-yeob's wife, the late Seohee-won's sister Seohee-je returned to broadcasting after about a year.
On the 6th, according to Taiwanese media ETtoday, Seohee-je experienced the grief of losing her older sister Seohee-won in February last year and took a break for the past year, and recently returned as the main MC of the variety program "小姐不熙" (Sojeobulhuije).
In the first episode aired that day, Seohee-je received a hot welcome as soon as she appeared on stage, but she broke down in tears on the spot and was unable to speak, creating a poignant moment.
She cried so hard from the first recording back that her eyes were swollen and red, and she even uttered swear words. She said, "Do you know why humanity invented swearing? It's because there are so many emotions like joy, sadness, and pleasure. I really missed everyone so much," expressing intense emotion.
She went on to say, "If I had returned without being mentally prepared, you would not have enjoyed it either," and spoke frankly, and the audience also reddened their eyes.
Before her return, Seohee-je said in a live broadcast that returning to the host seat felt more natural than she expected and that her chemistry with her partner was the same, adding, "This time when I came back my body was very relaxed and everything felt very comfortable," sharing her feelings about the return.
She said that at first her emotional ups and downs were quite large and she collapsed several times during the recording, adding, "Perhaps you may feel uncomfortable seeing me cry my eyes out and fall apart on screen, or trying to laugh despite the sadness. But in any situation, that was my most honest and true emotion at that moment," she confessed.
She emphasized that she was not forcing her emotions and added, "I'm not pretending to be pitiful or trying to overact; this is my most real self."
Meanwhile, the late Seohee-won suddenly died of acute pneumonia on Feb. 2 last year while traveling in Japan. She was 48. After Seohee-won's death, Koo Jun-yeob visited Jinbaoshan where the deceased is laid to rest every day to watch over the grave, and on the 1st anniversary on the 2nd he held an unveiling ceremony for a memorial sculpture he personally designed.
