Comedian Yang Sang-guk shared an anecdote about losing his father.

The KBS 2TV variety program 'Malja Show,' which aired on the 14th, was specially themed as 'Bottom of the 9th, Two Outs.' That day's broadcast featured a story about a son living with guilt after his father passed away.

The protagonist of the story, who lost his father last December, said, "My father showed initial symptoms, and two weeks later we rushed him to the emergency room. He stayed in the hospital for three months before passing away." He added, "I still can't shake off the feeling that I carelessly overlooked the symptoms." He also expressed how difficult it remains for him: "Every time I work at the hospital and transfer patients to the intensive care unit where my father was, my heart still aches."

'Malja Halmae' Kim Young-hee empathized with the storyteller's feelings, saying, "Even if you do your best to care for your parents, once they're gone, all you can think about is what you couldn't do for them." She then offered warm comfort: "Your father wouldn't want to see his son looking sad. The more your children smile and find happiness, the happier they will be dancing above."

Guest Yang Sang-guk shared his own experience of losing his father during the COVID-19 pandemic. He said, "It pains me that I couldn't even dress my father in a suit before he passed." He added, "Rather than blaming myself, I believe living well and being happy is better. Your father would surely want to see his son smiling more."

Yang Sang-guk continued, "Due to the pandemic, things were chaotic, but my 22nd-generation classmates, including Heo Kyung-hwan, stayed up all night for four days." He recalled that during his father's final journey, his classmates even recited catchphrases: Kim Won-hyo said, 'You must go to a good place!' and Heo Kyung-hwan said, 'I'm going to a good place~.' He added, "Being able to send my father off with kind people and warm smiles made me proud as a child."

In addition, that day's episode of 'Malja Show' also revealed various stories, including concerns from a college student who moved to Seoul, a boyfriend wanting to propose, and a retired soldier living a second life after leaving the military.

Meanwhile, 'Malja Show' airs every Monday at 9:30 p.m.
