Actress Go Ah-sung shared her experience of not appointing a male chief mourner during her mother's funeral.

Recently, the YouTube channel 'Yeouido After-Work Club' posted a video titled "A Talk That Made Daughters of Urban Women Relate Deeply and Laugh Before Suddenly Bursting into Tears."

In the video, one viewer shared a story: "An older sister I know had her father pass away suddenly, but there was no chief mourner, so she asked a man she met on a blind date to serve as the chief mourner."

Upon hearing this, Go Ah-sung said, "I am that person," recalling her own experience: "My father is not around, and my mother passed away. When my mother died, (family elders) caused a commotion saying there was no chief mourner. We are three sisters."

She continued, "Because people told us we had to appoint a male as the chief mourner at the funeral hall, I thought we had to do it too. I was in a daze. We placed my uncle as the chief mourner, but (he) quit after just one day. Among ourselves, we said, 'Okay, it's fine. We don't need a chief mourner.'" She then described the situation during her mother's funeral.

She also added, "I thought this wouldn't work, but everything is possible. It makes me so angry that people who weren't even close to my mom are taking on roles like carrying the coffin or leading the procession. I think these things are just based on tradition." She openly shared her thoughts.

Go Ah-sung lost her mother in July 2021. At the time, her agency issued an official statement: "Go Ah-sung's mother passed away due to complications from a long-term illness."
