Actress Oh Hyun-kyung shared the story of losing her father suddenly at age 26.
On the 17th, in the tvN STORY variety program "What to do with what's left," actors Oh Hyun-kyung, Lee Il-hwa, and Yoon Ji-sook appeared and shared various stories.
That day, Lee Young-ja asked Oh Hyun-kyung about the prize money she received as a Miss Korea finalist. Oh Hyun-kyung replied, "Back then, it was 15 million won." Regarding how she used the prize money, she explained, "I also worked as a model before that. Thanks to my mother saving money carefully, I bought my first house."
Oh Hyun-kyung then recalled her father, saying, "My dad was handsome. I followed him around until middle school because he was so handsome," revealing her special affection for him.

When Lee Young-ja asked when her father passed away, Oh Hyun-kyung answered, "I was 26 years old." She recalled, "There was a family history of angina on my father's side. He went fishing with friends and seemed concerned that they weren't catching many fish."
Oh Hyun-kyung revealed that she had spoken to her father until about an hour before he passed away. She said, "My dad told me, 'Hyun-kyung, I'll just cook some instant noodles and then leave.' But an hour later, I received news that he had passed away."
She continued, "It was early September, with significant temperature differences between morning and evening. While boiling instant noodles in a tent, he lay down for a moment and then passed away." She added, "I didn't expect it at all; I sent my father off without any preparation."
Her father, who had always been family-oriented, had cleaned every corner of the house before passing away. Oh Hyun-kyung shared, "My dad always went everywhere with my mom," and relayed her mother's words: "I have to stay alive for our children to live. If I become weak, it will be hard for them." She said her mother never cried in front of us because of this belief.
