Seo Hee-je (Xu Shidi), the sister-in-law of Gu Jun-yeop, a member of the group Clon, mentioned her brother-in-law's recent situation at an official event after 8 months.
After winning the Best Entertainment Program Host award at the 60th Golden Bell Awards held on the 17th, Seo Hee-je expressed her deep sense of loss and longing for her sister.
After the awards ceremony, she met with reporters and pointed to the necklace around her neck, saying, "A part of my sister is contained in this," and added, "Whenever I miss my sister, she is always with me."
She also shared news about her brother-in-law, Gu Jun-yeop. Seo Hee-je mentioned that she received a congratulatory message from Gu Jun-yeop, saying, "Brother-in-law has always supported my sister and me, and tomorrow the family will gather to enjoy a celebratory dinner. I really love my brother-in-law."
She continued, "In addition to eating at the Jinbao Mountain where my sister is buried every day, my brother-in-law also paints my sister's portrait daily. The whole house is filled with her portraits," and added, "We might hold an exhibition someday."
Gu Jun-yeop and Seo Hee-won met in Taiwan in 1998, but due to the difficulties of a long-distance relationship and opposition from their agency, they broke up after a year. After Seo Hee-won divorced her ex-husband in 2021, they reunited after more than 20 years and got married in 2022.
However, Seo Hee-won suddenly passed away in February after a family trip to Japan due to influenza accompanied by pneumonia.
Gu Jun-yeop, who was engulfed in grief, is said to have been visiting Seo Hee-won's grave every day even 8 months after her death.
