Broadcaster and writer Heo Ji-woong expressed his longing for the late Shin Hae-chul.

On the 30th, Heo Ji-woong shared photos of Shin Hae-chul from his lifetime via his social media. In the photos, Shin Hae-chul is seen making a playful expression.

Heo Ji-woong said, "Since my brother (Shin Hae-chul) passed away, I have hardly spoken about him. I refused every request. Some of them were truly difficult to refuse. But I had no choice. Because he was not just my memory. I did not want to add more words on top of that. Even if I did, we could not meet again. Whenever I received a message, I would realize, 'Oh, it's already been so many weeks.' That is all."

He continued, "Today, I miss him strangely more than usual. Trivial memories are the most persistent. The movie we saw at Sangam was truly pathetic, but whether we were half-asleep or not, we laughed anyway. I should have listened more seriously to the stories he wanted to write. We had planned to go eat hot pot in Yeonnam-dong. Where did you go? I haven't been there since. It seems like I won't go again."

Heo Ji-woong also said, "Oh right. Do you know this? I will never forget the flower basket my brother sent me. At that time, I was not old enough to accept such kindness as it was. I am sorry. Now I am older than my brother. That is his fault."

He added, "What did you want to say at the hospital? Why call me and then not speak? That has always been on my mind. I still cannot look directly at my brother's face. Even this old photo is painful. Why did you do that to me? I miss you." He expressed his longing for Shin Hae-chul.

Meanwhile, Shin Hae-chul passed away on October 27, 2014, at the age of 46.

The late artist debuted in 1988 as the vocalist of the band Muhan Gwado at MBC's University Song Festival. He later became a solo singer and a member of the band Next, gaining great popularity with hit songs such as "To You," "Don't Make a Sad Face," "Jazz Cafe," and "Knight of the Doll."

Before his death, Shin Hae-chul was diagnosed with intestinal obstruction and underwent laparoscopic surgery. After being discharged as scheduled following the surgery, he continued to visit hospitals due to pain. At that time, the attending physician stated there were no major issues and prescribed painkillers. However, Shin Hae-chul's condition rapidly worsened, leading to his death. According to the autopsy conducted by the National Forensic Service, peritonitis, pericarditis, and sepsis resulting from these conditions were identified as the direct causes of death.
