●The following is Park Jin-young‘s full SNS post

My father passed away a little while ago before we started the final live broadcast of ‘The Ddanddara’ today. I travel all over the world for work, and strangely enough, he passed away while I was filming at a hospital 10 minutes away. Thanks to that, I was able to visit him while he was still alive before filming, and I was able to see him again right after he passed away.

In fact, my father had been battling dementia for a long time and had been barely conscious for the past year or so before he passed away, so our family was preparing ourselves mentally. Still, when I see my late father, my heart sinks to the floor.

Still, I think my Christian family is able to hold on because he heard about Jesus and completely believed in the gospel when he was as innocent as a child in the early stages of dementia. I know where he went and I know we will meet again soon. If it weren’t for that, it would have been really hard.

My best friend who I called Dad instead of Father until the end, my dad who always believed in me and cheered me on, he must be reading this from heaven now. I was able to become this kind of person because of you. Thank you, Dad. You were truly the best dad to me. Let‘s meet again and talk a lot.

PS To my friends, I’m sorry, but the funeral will be held quietly among our family, so I would appreciate it if you could just join us in spirit.
