As reported earlier, the father of JYJ‘s Park Yoochun and actor Park Yoohwan has passed away. When the news broke, Park Yoochun was on a plane headed to the States for a layover after a successful independent JYJ tour in South America and the news did not reach him until much later.
More recently, the Korean media reported photos of a tearful Yoochun dressed in sweats and slippers upon his arrival in Korea.
Upon hearing the news of the funeral service, his fellow JYJ members as well as CJES labelmate Song Ji Hyo did their part to offer condolences to Yoochun and the family. Fellow group members Kim Jaejoong and Kim Junsu were the first to arrive at the funeral location in Seoul. Upon their arrival, they offered their deepest condolences to the family and paid their respect to his father. Additionally, Kim Junsu’s twin brother and singer JUNO also attended the service dressed in a black suit, looking somber and grave.
Fellow label mate Song Ji Hyo was also present, offering her encouragement and condolences to Yoochun and paid her respects to his father.
The father of Park Yoochun & Park Yoohwan has reportedly passed away due to a chronic illness, and Park Yoohwan has currently cancelled all of his filming schedules for his new drama, ‘Strongest K-Pop Survival‘.
We offer our deepest condolences to Park Yoochun, Park Yoohwan, and their entire family. May their father rest in peace.

Date: 2012-03-14 06:18 pm (UTC)Think about yourself and your family in that situation and please be respectful.
This is just cruel. We all know how hurtful that situation would be - we don't need to see pics to know he was devastated.
RIP. YooChun's father.
I too have had a difficult relationship with my dad - though we haven't reconciled. I can only imagine the mixed emotions and sorrow that YooChun is feeling now just recently having reconciled last year.
Keep them all in our prayers.

Date: 2012-03-14 06:39 pm (UTC)I know what you mean. My dad and I used to have a lot of problems as well, and we never truly fixed things until about a year ago when he had a stroke and nearly died. He's changed a lot since then and at times I barely recognize my own father, but at least he's alive and well. I can't imagine what would've happened had he died. And thinking of other people losing one of their parents breaks my heart, because I now understand how important they are.
I hope you get to reconcile with your father. It's hard, but I hope that it happens.

Date: 2012-03-14 06:45 pm (UTC)I hope he'll be able to at least spend some time with his mother and brother after today and I'm glad they're able to cancel activities (unlike Donghae after his dad died, for instance, that was terrible).
Reporters these days have no sense of respect left. I heard some fans tried to make a human wall to block them at the airport. It's so sad that the media doesn't give a damn about them whenever they're working hard and doing their best... but when something like this happens everyone is all over it. It makes me sick to my stomach.

Date: 2012-03-14 07:43 pm (UTC)Many articles are saying his father had cirrhosis.
That information was released by hospital officials.
Anyway, I've always wondered why is it legal in Korea to release information like that to the public.

We all have to be HIPPA trained, and if we release information...even by accident...we are fined. If you are found to have done it on purpose, it's a fine and jail. They take that stuff seriously
