Singer Jang Beom-june has paid tribute to Park Kyung-goo, who passed away at the age of 38. Park was a member of the band Earlginity and a singer-songwriter who was part of the original lineup during Jang's busking days with the band Busker Busker.

On February 9, Jang Beom-june uploaded a video titled 'Park Kyung-goo Best Live Clip (To Hongdae, The One I Love, Difficult Woman)' on his YouTube channel. In the video, Jang performs 'To Hongdae,' 'The One I Love,' and 'Difficult Woman.' These songs were all works that Park Kyung-goo had contributed to, and Jang expressed his tribute to the late musician through this video.

Park Kyung-goo's family announced his passing on February 7 through his social media, stating, "It's still hard to believe, but we are sharing this news on behalf of the family. We hope you will join us in sending him off warmly." The cause of death has not been disclosed.

Park contributed significantly to the early musical style of Busker Busker, led by Jang Beom-june. He participated in writing, composing, and arranging several songs, including 'Difficult Woman,' 'The One I Love,' and 'Sinpung Station Exit No 2 Blues.' He also collaborated with Jang on his solo projects, being credited as the original creator of 'To Hongdae' and contributing to Jang's first and second solo albums.

Last year, during an album release, Jang Beom-june left a message wishing for Park's health.
