In another video, Ock Joo-hyun tagged fellow member Sung Yu-ri's social media account, hinting at their visit to Lee Hyori at her father's funeral, as a bowl of yukgaejang, a traditional Korean dish often served at funerals, was spotted.

Ock Joo-hyun further expressed, "Spending the whole day together felt like a bittersweet yet warm date," tagging Lee Hyori, Lee Jin, and Sung Yu-ri's accounts, and adding, "Our leader, you did well."

Lee Hyori's father, the late Lee Joong-kwang, passed away on October 12. The funeral is being held at Room 1 of the Seoul Chung-Ang University Hospital Funeral Hall. The burial is scheduled for the morning of October 14, with the final resting place in Eumseong County, Chungcheongbuk-do. Lee Hyori, along with her husband Lee Sang-soon, is listed as the chief mourner. Consequently, Lee Sang-soon will be absent from his radio DJ duties until today.
