Comedienne Im Mi-sook has expressed profound sorrow and longing for the late comedian Jeon Yu-seong, who passed away on the 25th.

Im took to her social media to mourn Jeon, affectionately calling him 'My Uncle, Yu-seong Ahjussi.' She remembered him as the 'godfather of comedy' and 'eternal copywriter' who always generously offered ideas and support.

She recalled a housewarming plaque gifted by Jeon during her wedding in 1990, bearing the words 'Our Happy Home,' which still hangs by her front door. Im conveyed her gratitude and love, stating, 'I miss you already, Uncle,' and 'You will always live in my heart.'

Jeon Yu-seong passed away due to complications from pneumothorax. His wake is being held at Seoul Asan Medical Center, Room 1, with the funeral procession scheduled for 7 AM on the 28th.
