Actress Yang Jeong-a teared up as she recalled her late mother.
On the 12th episode of KBS 1TV's "Hwang Shin-hye's Let's Live Together," Hwang Shin-hye said, "Jeong-a's mother passed away not long ago. There will be difficult days ahead, but I wanted to create at least one day filled with comfort and laughter for her. That is why we created a special day for Jeong-a." She then traveled to Baegun Valley with Yang Jeong-a and Shin Gye-sook.
Yang Jeong-a's mother was hospitalized due to a waist fracture, but her health deteriorated, leading to a six-month battle with illness. Yang Jeong-a said, "It has been 12 days since my mother passed away. Even when there were sad things or circumstances at home, I had to work happily, so I was very worried in my heart, but my mother helped me well." She added bitterly, "My life stopped last December. My mother stayed in the hospital for six months. I thought she would recover, but..."
Although hospitalized due to a waist injury, Yang Jeong-a's mother passed away after six months of illness due to her advanced age. Yang Jeong-a said, "Now I am truly alone. It doesn't feel real. It feels like my mother is still in the hospital and will come home someday. The moment it feels most real is when I wake up and no one is there. Realizing that I have to live on my own made me realize I am truly alone now," as she burst into tears.
Hearing this, Shin Gye-sook comforted her by saying they have older sisters, while Hwang Shin-hye said, "The empty space left by your mother must feel very lonely. Still, Jeong-a is adapting better than expected, which is admirable and makes me grateful. Even when I imagine it, I don't think I could handle it as well as Jeong-a does," praising her spirited younger sister.

Yang Jeong-a said, "When my mother was bedridden, I showed her 'Let's Live Together' on a tablet. She had no consciousness and could only see the pictures, but when she heard my voice, she looked at me directly. We couldn't communicate since three months before she passed away. She couldn't wear dentures. Her speech became slurred, so I sometimes couldn't understand her. It was so heartbreaking," as she teared up.
She continued, "The last thing I said to my mother was 'I love you.' I didn't say it often during our lives, but I said it plenty while my mother was in the hospital for five and a half months. On the day of the funeral procession, I roughly organized her clothes and belongings. There is still so much to organize. The house is full of memories of my parents. Still, I believe I did the right thing by doing my best to care for her. Now that I am alone, I plan to exercise and travel more," as she smiled.
