Comedian Kim Jeong-ryul revealed the tragic circumstances surrounding his brother's death.

On the afternoon of the 8th, MBN's 'Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night' featured comedian Kim Jeong-ryul and Hwang Ki-soon as guests.

That day, Kim Jeong-ryul opened up about his heartbreaking family history. He said, "I was in high school at the time, and there was a slight age gap between my brother and me. I had an exam coming up when he came to visit me in the evening, saying 'I miss you'."

He continued, "The next day, I had an exam. My brother stayed awake until dawn before returning to the military. When I got back from school, a military truck was waiting there. He asked for my home address, saying he was sick and hospitalized. Because it was exam period, he didn't tell me anything at the time. Later, I found out he had been beaten to death in the military."

He added, "The official cause of death was listed as suicide by pesticide poisoning. It was absolutely impossible, yet I endured that belief for over 30 years. Fortunately, the Military Suspicious Death Investigation Committee was convened, and an investigation revealed the perpetrator. The statute of limitations had expired, but he made a confession of conscience. He apologized in front of our family, so we were able to restore our brother's honor."

Kim Jeong-ryul also stated, "We couldn't find his remains. He was buried near the military base, but due to development, we ultimately failed to locate his ashes. My mother developed severe emotional distress and even obsessive-compulsive tendencies because of this. She carried this burden her entire life. Later, she suffered from dementia and could no longer recognize her own children."
