Actually, I was afraid that you would get sick, or I was a coward, so I avoided contact. I'm sorry. . Forgive me for being a fool," he said in memory of the deceased.
Then, he said, "I'm writing this, hoping you won't be lonely on the way, but I don't know if you're doing well. Pyeong-ah, please don't get sick there, smile more and be happy. Let's meet later. I'm sorry Pyeong-ah. I love you Pyeong-ah."
"I was very sick due to my battle with cancer for a long time. Even though I was sick, I was happy while standing on the runway and working as a model. As a model, I only wanted to be remembered for my cool image, and I didn't want people to know that I was sick, so I couldn't tell the people around me about my pain. I'm sorry." For the sake of the best model and cool juniors, I ask that many people accompany me on the way to the deceased."
