"I Will Remember You Even After Death"... Late Yoo Chae-young's Husband Expresses Enduring Longing for 12 Years

As 12 years have passed since the late singer and actor Yoo Chae-young passed away, her husband, Kim Joo-hwan, touched the hearts of fans by sharing his unwavering longing for her through her official fan cafe.

On the 20th, Kim posted a long letter on the late singer's fan cafe titled "This time, I'll pick a day without rain and go slowly. Because."

Starting with the greeting, "Baby, you waited a long time, didn't you? I'm writing a letter in a long time," Kim expressed his steadfast devotion, saying, "12 years have passed since you left, but no matter how much more time passes, if I can remember even after I die, I will remember you."

He also shared updates on how he is overcoming his grief and left a message for the fans. Reassuring those who worried about him, Kim said, "I don't live my life just crying in sorrow like before. It seems many people misunderstand that I am still living in sorrow and depression every day. Although my longing and love for my baby remain unchanged, you don't need to worry about me too much."

He added a poignant story about an item containing memories of the two. Expressing a sense of regret, Kim said, "I wanted to keep the car we shared until the day I die, but it was scrapped after 17 years. A friend borrowed it and got into an accident." He then promised, "Instead, we still have our motorcycle, and we've kept it well for 18 years. I will take good care of this until the end."

Ending the letter, Kim made a sweet promise of a reunion, saying, "I'll ride the motorcycle to see you on a day without rain. Wait for me, my love. See you soon."

The late Yoo Chae-young developed a romantic relationship with Kim Joo-hwan, who was one year younger and had been a friend for 10 years, and they married in 2008. However, after being diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer in 2013, she passed away on July 24, 2014, at the age of 41 after a battle with the illness.

Since her passing, her husband Kim has expressed his mourning by posting letters on the fan cafe every year on her death anniversary and special occasions. On her death anniversary last year, he also expressed his heavy heart, saying, "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you, and I'm even more sorry for staying behind alone and doing well." Netizens continue to send condolences and support for his sincerity as he overcomes grief with the passage of time and writes down a calm yet deep love.
