The letter expresses his concern for her and his deep longing.
The couple rekindled their romance over 20 years ago before getting married.
On February 2, Gu Jun-yeop expressed his longing for the late Seo Hee-won through a handwritten letter. The singer, known for his work in the group Clon, revealed this emotional note addressed to his ex-wife and Taiwanese actress, Shih Hsi-yuan. In the letter, he worries about her well-being, asking, 'Hee-won, how is it there? Is it cold... or hot...' He described the emptiness he feels when sitting on the empty side of their bed, saying it still weighs heavily on his heart. He also apologized for showing his vulnerable side, indicating that his longing remains profound. Seo Hee-won tragically passed away on February 2 of last year while traveling in Japan due to complications from pneumonia. Gu and Seo first met over 20 years ago in a romantic relationship and later reconnected as a married couple.
Gu Jun-yeop's handwritten letter poignantly conveys his deep sense of loss and longing. The relationship between the couple transcends a simple love story, reflecting a bond that remains unbroken over time. Both Gu's position in the Korean entertainment industry and Seo Hee-won's life contribute to a narrative that evokes deep emotions and is still remembered by fans and the public.
Moreover, his public display of emotion renews discussions about the connection between men and their feelings. In a culture where it is rare for men to openly express their emotions, Gu's letter allows him to articulate his sadness and sorrow, garnering greater empathy and support from many.
Finally, his letter serves as a reminder of Seo Hee-won's life and career, illuminating her legacy as a Taiwanese actress. Her memory carries meanings beyond what Gu Jun-yeop remembers, reminding fans and the public that she will not be forgotten and is still dearly missed.
