Comedian the late Park Ji-seon died six years ago, but she still lives in everyone's hearts. In particular, her fellow KBS class of 22 open-recruit comedians, who shared joys and sorrows with her, have not forgotten her and hold her in their hearts.
The late Park Ji-seon died on Nov. 2, 2020. At the time, Park Ji-seon was found dead at her home in Mapo District, Seoul, together with her mother. The police said they reviewed an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death but "there were no signs of external intrusion, and a will-like note was found, so there appears to be no criminal suspicion. Respecting the bereaved family's wishes, we decided not to perform an autopsy," they said.
On the anniversary of the late Park Ji-seon's death, the KBS class of 22 open-recruit comedians who shared life with her visit the columbarium where she is enshrined and continue to express their deep longing and heavy memories.
The memories are not kept only on the anniversary of her death. Comedians from the class of 22, including Kim Joon-hyun, Park Seong-gwang, Park Young-jin, Yang Sang-guk, Heo Kyunghwan and Kim Won-hyo, naturally recount anecdotes about the late Park Ji-seon as they engage in various activities, evoking poignant feelings.
On the 6th, Heo Kyunghwan, Park Seong-gwang and Park Young-jin appeared on the YouTube channel Zzanbro and took care to remember the late Park Ji-seon. In the video, when Shin Dong-yeob asked, "Was (Kim) Joon-hyun also a classmate?" Heo Kyunghwan said, "Yes, Joon-hyun as well," and Park Seong-gwang mentioned Jang Do-youn, Jung Beom-gyun and Choi Hyo-jong and recalled the late Park Ji-seon as "our Ji-seon." Shin Dong-yeob then looked up to the sky and said, "Our Ji-seon," and Park Seong-gwang also looked to the sky and waved his hand.
On the show "Oh Eun-young's Golden Counseling Center," Park Seong-gwang spoke about the sense of loss after seeing the late Park Ji-seon off, saying, "I have never really talked properly about that friend, and when I am happy I sometimes suddenly feel sorry. It seems to have become a forbidden word for us."
Following Park Seong-gwang, Yang Sang-guk expressed his gratitude to the late Park Ji-seon. On the MBC program "Omniscient Interfering View," which aired on the 18th, Yang Sang-guk, while talking with comedians gathered at his home, said, "We talk about Ji-seon. She was such a good younger sister, but she becomes forgotten," conveying his regret.
Yang Sang-guk recalled borrowing money from the late Park Ji-seon during difficult times, saying, "She said it wasn't something she planned to give to or take from the older brother. She was kind even about small things." His colleagues expressed their heavy feelings, saying, "We go even when it's not the anniversary. When we went then, what was good was that there were fans," they said.
