Comedienne Kim Young-hee Mourns the Passing of Late Comedian Jeon Yu-seong
Comedienne Kim Young-hee has posted a message of condolence for the recently deceased comedian, Jeon Yu-seong.
On the 26th, Kim shared on her social media, "I think I never approached seniors with enough warmth," recalling Jeon Yu-seong and adding, "It was surprising and enviable how Huh Kyung-hwan treated him so comfortably, like a friend."
She reminisced about a trip to Namwon with Jeon Yu-seong, saying, "I wanted to remember everything: the taste of the tea he brewed, the temperature of the valley water, and the food we ate." She mentioned that she couldn't bring herself to ask him to pose for photos, so she mostly captured his back and silhouette.
Kim also recalled Jeon Yu-seong's encouragement when she returned to 'Gag Concert,' saying "You're doing great" after seeing her 'Malja Halmae' character. She also remembered a late-night phone call where he comforted her by saying, "Sometimes, why not just let go of problems you can't solve? It shows humanity!" Kim honestly expressed her feelings, stating, "Even though I knew you were right, I was still unable to act on it due to my fear."
Finally, Kim wished him peace, saying, "Please rest comfortably in a good place, just like your trip to Namwon, without a set destination." She added, "When we meet again, I want to look you in the face and give you a hug."
Late comedian Jeon Yu-seong passed away on the 25th due to worsening pleuro-pneumothorax. His wake is being held at Asan Medical Center in Seoul, Room 1, with the funeral procession scheduled for 7 AM on the 28th.
Kim Young-hee gained significant popularity with her character 'Gap-bun-ssa' on tvN's 'Comedy Big League' in 2017. She has actively appeared on various entertainment shows, bringing laughter to audiences. Recently, she has been expanding her acting spectrum by appearing in the play 'The Fantastic Couple.'
