Netizens give comforting words to comedian Jo Hye Ryun

[nicky-nacker.livejournal.com]

On this weeks Strong Heart, Jo Hye Ryun talked about her father and his influence in her life. He never worked and to her, he was an embarrassment.

Throughout her life, she was ashamed of the man who never worked and was always apologetic. She was bothered by him always saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Once, while she was in school, her father came by as she was about to leave campus. He called out her name in his ragged jacket and pants he always wore. In his pockets were his dentures because they were uncomfortable to wear. Her friends that she was walking with told her someones calling out her name and she noticed it was her father. However, she felt too embarrassed to do anything about it. After he called her again, she went up to him and he gave her 300 Won (about 25 cents) to her so she can eat spicy rice cakes (dduk boki). She didn't like him appearing while she was with friends.

As she tried to become a comedian, she failed a few times and her dad asked if she didn't make it because she didn't have any backings. "Should I save up some money to go and try to bribe the producers?" Jo Hye Ryun corrected her father saying that "it's not like that." He replied with "Hye Ryun ah, I'm sorry."

As she became popular, she said that she looked down on her father when he suggested he become an extra for a Korean drama. She didn't want him to go up to her coworkers and embarrass her, so she brushed it off and he replied with "I'm sorry."

A few years ago, he became ill and lost much weight. Due to her busy schedule, she rarely got the chance to visit him in the hospital. One day, she got a call from her mom saying that her dad was in critical condition so Hye Ryun rushed to the hospital. He was waiting for her and when she told him that she came, he smiled. Jo Hye Ryun then said that she loved him and apologized for not understanding his intentions. He then told her "I'm sorry" and passed away.

She then realized how her father lived his life feeling sorry. Even though he was only given kimchi and rice to eat most of the time due to her mom being busy, he never complained.

The story brought rest of the guests on Strong Heart to break out into tears as it made them think about their parents as well.

After the show aired, netizens wrote comforting words for Jo Hye Ryun on her mini homepage.

"Hye Ryun unni, fighting!"
"I love my father!"
"We'll always cheer for you!"
"You have inspired me."

The story also managed to move my feelings as well. Thinking of all the things my parents have sacrificed for me, it reminded me to be grateful of them. Fighting Jo Hye Ryun!

[cityincolors.livejournal.com]

This hurts my heart so badly =\
Not that my father passed away but I've spent pretty much a big majority of my life with just my mother, so basically I always feel really... touched/bothered/emotional when there are stories like this involving father-child relationship. It's even hard to see a father play with his child IRL. =\

But yeah I hope that she'll always remember him and work hard to make him proud ^~^

How sad completely sad, especially the pictures up there of them crying.

I should really call my dad. Its terrible that I only talk to him when I need something. He takes care of me and my sisters and gives us everything we need without complaint. I should thank him more often.

Jo Hye Run Fighting!!!
