Kim Song, the wife of Clon’s Kang Won-rae, expressed her sorrow over the sudden news of the late Seo Hee-won.
On the 4th, Kim Song revealed her shocking feelings through her personal SNS, saying, “Yesterday, I received unbelievable news and was left in shock. There was nothing we could do, so we just spent time helplessly.”
She continued, “My husband (Kang Won-rae) has been quiet lately, and even though he usually doesn’t drink, he took out some alcohol and was drinking alone in his room. He’s not good at expressing himself, but I think he must have cried alone.”
Kim Song further expressed her sorrow by mentioning her communication with Seo Hee-won’s husband, Gu Jun-yeop. “He used to reply immediately when I messaged him on KakaoTalk, but there was no response until late at night. He said, ‘I’m sorry I couldn’t help… all I can do is pray,’” she shared, adding, “Even in that situation, he said, ‘Thank you.’ And he asked me to pray for Hee-won to rest in peace. Until the end, Hee-won was Hee-won.”
She expressed her deep sadness, saying, “When Hee-won was going through a tough time, the time we spent together, though short, must have been a great comfort and support. I’m grateful just to have watched over them…”
She continued, “During the day when no one was around, I cried out loud. People leave comforting comments, but there are also malicious comments blaming fate, saying that both Kang Won-rae and Gu Jun-yeop lost their wives. I have no words. We have been together since our first meeting, and we supported each other without needing to say anything.”
In conclusion, Kim Song said, “Gu-gu oppa (Gu Jun-yeop), it may be hard to believe right now, but don’t hold back, cry as much as you need to. Don’t force yourself to be okay. Cry so that you have no regrets. So please put a proper end to your love without regrets.” She added, “I pray that Hee-won, who used to call me ‘Unnie, Unnie~ I miss you~’ can rest peacefully there. I hope the painful times pass quickly and that you find comfort.”
Meanwhile, Seo Hee-won passed away from influenza and acute pneumonia while traveling in Japan, at the age of 48.
Born in 1976, Seo Hee-won debuted in 1994 as part of the girl group ASOS with her sister Seo Hee-je. She gained national popularity through Taiwanese dramas such as “Boys Over Flowers” and “A Chinese Ghost Story.”
In 2011, she married Chinese businessman Wang So-bi and had one son and one daughter, but they divorced in 2021. Later, she reunited with her early 2000s boyfriend Gu Jun-yeop and married him in 2022, drawing much attention with their movie-like love story.
