"I'll Prepare My Own Final Farewell"... A 'Living Funeral' Held on a Birthday

○ [News Story] "Don't Bother People"... The 275,000 Won Funeral Expenses Written by a Son (June 20, 2026)

What caught the reporting team's attention most was the "living funeral," a ceremony held while the person is still alive. Kim Hong-seop prepared a special living funeral for his mother, who celebrated her 100th birthday earlier this month. He said he organized the event because he wanted to gift his mother love while she was still with him, rather than grieving after she had passed away. We take a look at that special day, which was filled with laughter and gratitude instead of tears.
