Singer Lee Hyori suffered the loss of her father, and the last moments she spent with him during his lifetime have been reexamined, adding to the sorrow. In particular, the final two-shot of them walking together evokes a heavy feeling.
On the 12th, her agency Antenna issued an official statement saying, "Lee Hyori has suffered the loss of her father." Meanwhile, the previously released 'last two-shot' with her father is once again drawing attention.
In the past, Lee Hyori posted on her social media, "Dad who took a quick moment to take the youngest out for a winter walk. Except when he was sick, he never missed a day on the Seoul Grand Park walking path, so I joined him," along with a photo. In the released photo, Lee Hyori is wearing a thick padded jacket and sunglasses, walking side by side with her father. The ordinary but warm father-daughter time captured in it moved viewers.
The photo in particular was released after her father's illness became known, leaving a deeper impression. Lee Hyori once revealed on a variety show that her father was battling an illness and showed tears. She said, "I should contact mom more often, but I don't do it well. I only talk about difficult things," showing conflicted feelings.
Lee Hyori has openly recalled memories tied to her father through broadcasts. Not hiding the childhood wounds and emotions, she faced the past even during a trip with her mother, and her mother said, "Forgive dad. What good is it to hold on to hatred toward someone who could leave at any time," trying to hold on to family time.
In the past, Lee Hyori also expressed regrets toward her father on a broadcast. She recalled having to sign autographs instead of spending holidays with family, and remembering her father practicing her autograph, she said, "I regret that I got annoyed." In this way, her father was more than just family to Lee Hyori; he was a complex presence mixed with hurt, affection, understanding and regret.
At times left as painful and hard-to-bring-up memories, he was at the same time the name "father," someone more deeply connected than anyone. And now, the winter walking path she walked with her father who had been battling illness — that ordinary moment that passed without notice became the last. Lee Hyori's past confessions are resurfacing after the sad news of her father's death, and many people's condolences are following.
Meanwhile, Lee Hyori debuted in 1998 with the group Fin.K.L and received great love, and in 2013 she married singer Lee Sang Soon.
