The husband of the late singer and actress Yoo Chae-young has drawn attention from netizens with a choked letter expressing his longing for his wife.

Yoo Chae-young's husband, Kim Ju-hwan, posted a message titled "This time I'll choose a day without rain and go slowly because..." on her fan cafe on the 20th, ahead of the 12th anniversary of her passing on the 24th.

Yoo Chae-young married Kim Ju-hwan, who was one year younger than her, after a 10-year romance in 2008. In 2013, she was diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer and fought the illness, but ultimately could not overcome it, passing away on July 24, 2014, at the age of 41. Since then, Kim Ju-hwan has been writing letters to his wife, who became a star in the sky, every year on her fan cafe.

In this year's letter, which he wrote without fail, Kim Ju-hwan affectionately called out, "Baby, you've waited long enough, haven't you? It's been a while since I last wrote a letter," and added, "Even though the world without you is still a place where I must live, with so many things happening, it seems like I can no longer remember you every day as I used to."

He continued, "Although 12 years have passed since you left, even if 12 more years pass or even after I die, if there is anyone who can remember me, they will remember you. But now, I don't live only by being sad like before. As I live day by day since your departure, time has passed, and I am no longer the same as I used to be," sharing his calm feelings while adding a sense of choked emotion.

Kim Ju-hwan said, "Sometimes many people seem to misunderstand that I still live a sad and depressed life, grieving every single day. It's not because I find it too hard and sad to visit this place out of longing for you, or because I don't want to live anymore." He then opened up, saying, "My heart still misses you, longs to see you, and loves you as much as ever, but I am no longer as troubled and sad as I used to be."

He also expressed gratitude to Yoo Chae-young's fans, saying, "Thank you for your many concerns. Thank you for loving Chae-young so much, but I feel I should write here that you don't need to worry about me anymore."

He also mentioned items filled with memories of his wife, revealing his enduring longing. Kim Ju-hwan said, "Something regrettable happened. We wanted to keep the car we shared until death, but after 17 years, we had it scrapped. I lent it to a friend, and he got into an accident. It wasn't supposed to be lent... I'm sorry." He continued, "Instead, our motorcycle has been well-kept for 18 years. This one I will keep until the end. That's why I can't go if it rains this time. We don't have a car anymore. I'll ride the motorcycle on a day without rain. Wait for me, my love. See you soon," which touched many to tears.

This message represents the feelings of those left behind and has gained great sympathy from the public. Netizens responded with comments such as, "That's reality. It seems more sincere to honestly express realistic emotions. You're genuine. I hope you find a good person and be happy now," "It's so heartfelt that it makes me sad," "As someone who has experienced losing a precious person, life can feel truly meaningless. Let's all treat those around us well," and "Though long or short, live each day of your life happily."
