Comedian Jung Sun-hee candidly shared her emotions following the loss of her spouse, describing herself as feeling like a "dead tree" during a time when she couldn't outwardly express her grief.

On the 19th, Jung Sun-hee's YouTube channel 'Jung Sun-hee's Home' released a video where she shared her thoughts after reading the book 'The Dream of a Train.' She deeply connected with the protagonist's feelings of loss, relating them to her own experiences.

In the video, Jung Sun-hee stated, "Losing a beloved spouse or family member is an unimaginable tragedy and sorrow," yet she explained that one cannot always express emotions as intensely as one might expect. She noted, "Grief doesn't always manifest loudly," adding, "In the face of survival, there's no time to stop and wail. Some people can't even utter a sound."

Reflecting on a memorable line from the movie 'The Dream of a Train,' she mentioned, "This woman also lost her husband 1-2 years ago," and highlighted the phrase, "Sometimes, there are dead trees in the forest." She confessed that reading that sentence brought her to tears.

Jung Sun-hee shared, "It resonated with me deeply. Sometimes I feel like a dead tree." She continued, "Life doesn't always result in a sparkling outcome. Sometimes, you have to watch the back of the person you started with. We can all become dead trees or small insects at any time," expressing warmth from the passage.

She added, "If you hold onto the thought that 'whether you're a small insect or a dead tree, the forest doesn't care,' maybe it makes life feel less desperate and intense."

Meanwhile, Jung Sun-hee married actor Ahn Jae-hwan in 2007, and after his passing the following year, she took a break from her career.
