Jang Yoon-jeong "Hae-soo, I was hoping for a nice flap of wings, but I missed it."

On the 15th, Do Kyung-wan said, "The text below is a message from my wife, Jang Yoon-jung, to my beloved junior, Hae-soo." He delivered Jang Yoon-jung's text instead.
According to the post released by Do Kyung-wan, Jang Yoon-jeong said, "I had a painful breakup with Hae-su, whom I loved so much. I embraced her with the heart of a mother bird, hoping that she would be loved in my nest, heal her wounds, and flap her wings beautifully, but I lost her. She was a truly lovely child. “I guess he acted so lovingly just to get through such a painful breakup,” he wrote.
He continued, "I was rude and rushed over before the funeral was even set up, and yesterday, the last day, I regretfully visited again late at night when everyone was exhausted and said my final goodbyes. I laid flowers for Hae-soo, lit incense in front of her portrait, and bowed." “It doesn’t make sense, but I was so sad and tired, even though I went on stage and recorded with a smile and tried to show Hae-su as a senior doing my best until the end,” he said.
Jang Yoon-jung asked, "How should I let go of Hae-soo, who smiled and held me in my arms and generously expressed that I loved her until the last day. Please pray for her soul to rest in peace." He poured out his heart, saying, "Hae-soo. I won't scold you for why you did that, so please come to me in my dreams just once. I miss you. Later, when I get to where you are, let's have fun without delay. I love you, Hae-soo. I won't forget you."
According to the police on the 13th, Hae-soo was found dead at her lodgings around 10 a.m. on the 12th. The police reported that they found a suicide note believed to have been written by Hae-su at the scene and handed over the body to her family.
Born in 1993, the deceased majored in pansori at the Korea National University of Arts' Traditional Arts Center and debuted in November 2019 with the song 'My Life, Me' from the first EP album. In 2021, they additionally released their 2nd single album 'Frozen' and have been active in various music broadcasts, entertainment shows, and radio, including 'Gayo Stage', 'Morning Yard', and 'The Trot Show'. It also appeared in the Lunar New Year special of KBS 2TV's 'Immortal Songs' last January.
Below is the full text of Jang Yun-jeong’s article:
I had a painful breakup with Hae-su, whom I loved so much.
I held it with the heart of a mother bird hoping to be loved, heal its wounds, and flap its wings beautifully in its nest, but I lost it.
He was such a lovely child. I guess he acted so lovingly just to get through such a painful breakup.
I ran to him before the funeral was even set up, despite my rudeness, and unfortunately, on the last day, yesterday, I came again late at night when everyone was exhausted and said my final goodbyes.
I gave flowers to Hae-soo, lit incense in front of her portrait, and bowed.
It doesn't make sense, but I was so sad and tired even though I was smiling and going on stage and recording while trying to show the image of a senior doing my best to Hae-soo until the end.
I was dazed, then I laughed thinking it was a lie, then I cried again, then I screamed, then I got angry because I thought it was cruel, and then I missed it. It is a pain that cannot be expressed in words.
How should I let go of Hae-su, who smiled and held me in my arms until the last day and generously expressed that I loved her. Please pray for the soul of the deceased.
Hae-soo, I won’t scold you and ask you why, so please come to me in my dreams just once. I want to see you.
Every time we met for a drink, he said, “Sir, I’ll set it up,” and always went ahead and waited for me. Go first and set the drinking table. When I get to where you are later, let’s have fun without delay!!
I love you Haesu, I will never forget you. May the souls of the deceased refrain.
