siblings Sung Bo Ra, Sung Deok Sun & Sung No Eul. And the thing my
father loved the most… it’s our family. As the son & daughters of
our father, we couldn’t give him warm words, have a drink that he liked
so much with him, hold him in our arms first nor tell him we love him
first and we couldn’t consider the heavy weight of the word ‘dad’, hence
we are sorry & apologize. Yet he was like a tree which never
stopped giving – a dad that Bo Ra respected, a dad that’s like a friend
to Deok Sun and a dad that provided stability for No Eul.” (Tribute from

back together again. To the things that’ve already gone, to the time I
can’t return to… I bid my belated farewell. Goodbye, my youth. Goodbye,
Ssangmun-dong.” (Deok Sun)
