The memorial service for the late Ok-hee will be held at 10 a.m. on the 24th at the funeral hall of Seoul Asan Hospital, presided over by Han Ga-su-hyeop (Chairman).

In accordance with the late singer's wishes as a devout Christian, the memorial service will be conducted in the form of a worship service. Following the investigation and eulogy reading by the president and directors of the Korean Singers Association, a memorial video reflecting on the late singer's life will be shown, followed by the presentation of flowers and incense to bid her final farewell.

Thereafter, the funeral procession will be solemnly held at 11 a.m., with the burial site at Bundang Home Memorial Park.

Ok-hee passed away on the 20th at a hospice ward in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do. She was 73 years old.

The wake for the late Ok-hee was set up on the 21st at Room 22 of the funeral hall at Seoul Asan Hospital in Songpa-gu, Seoul. In the memorial portrait, Ok-hee is seen with a bright smile, leaving those around her with a sense of sorrow. Hong Soo-hwan, who has suffered the loss of his wife, stood by the late singer's side with a grief-stricken expression.

Born in 1953, the late singer was a native of Busan. She debuted in 1968 as the leader of the five-member group Seoul Sisters, showcasing her presence as 'the pioneer of global K-pop girl groups' while also performing overseas.

After returning to Korea, she made her solo debut in 1974 with "I Don't Know," followed by hit songs such as "Speak Only with Your Eyes," "I Wonder Where You Are," "Oh, That Day," "Neighbors," and "Let's Hold Hands," which brought her great popularity.

After growing close to Hong Soo-hwan in 1978, she had a daughter but later experienced the pain of separation. They successfully reunited in 1995, and in 2000, she released a gospel album and even appeared on stage at a charity concert.

Hong Soo-hwan, who lost his wife of many years, silently gazed at the bright, smiling memorial portrait at the wake today, remembering the late singer. Ok-hee, who had won the love of the public with her bright smile on stage throughout her life, has now entered eternal rest.
