On the 6th, the YouTube channel 'Jjanhyeong Shin Dong-yeop' released a video titled 'Legendary KBS 22nd Class Comedians Who Are Funny Yet Anxious.' In the video, Park Sung-kwang appeared as a guest alongside fellow comedians Park Young-jin and Heo Kyung-hwan, sharing a special camaraderie.

He then expressed his longing for Park Ji-sun with a bittersweet smile, saying, "Ji-sun, Park Ji-sun." Shin Dong-yeop also paid his respects to her, looking towards the sky, and Park Sung-kwang followed suit.
Previously, Park Sung-kwang appeared on Channel A's variety show 'Golden Counseling Center' in 2024, where he revealed, "I was bright, but after a certain event, everything changed. After a close friend went to heaven," referring to the passing of his dear colleague Park Ji-sun. He shared that he struggled with depression and panic disorder following the news.
He confessed that the experience was so challenging it changed his personality, saying, "Sometimes I feel guilty for doing well, and even trying not to think about it makes me feel guilty." He added, "If I watch a video of Ji-sun on YouTube, it keeps appearing. I feel guilty even when I laugh. Her name has become a forbidden word for us," evoking sympathy.
Meanwhile, comedian Park Ji-sun passed away on November 2, 2020, at her home with her mother. She was 36 years old.
