Former internet celebrity and YouTuber Yoo Hye-joo shared her feelings following her father's funeral.

On the 30th, a video titled "D-13 to Delivery: Our Story, Briefly Paused" was released on the YouTube channel 'Rejuice'.

At the end of the video that day, Yoo Hye-joo calmly began by saying, "I've returned to the postpartum care center after holding my father's funeral."

She added, "Many people expressed concern and left many comments. However, my father has now passed away to heaven. We held a proper funeral as a family and laid him to rest in a good place before returning here to the postpartum care center," sharing her recent update.

Continuing, she revealed, "Six years ago, I was diagnosed with colon cancer and underwent treatment until it disappeared. However, there was small metastasis in my pelvic area. While enduring chemotherapy, the cancer did not fully disappear despite trying many drugs and treatment methods, and eventually, the metastasis spread significantly. My father received so much chemotherapy that his condition deteriorated to a point where recovery became impossible. He moved from the cancer center to the oncology ward, then to hospice care, stayed there for about a month, and finally passed away."

She continued, "From the moment my father was diagnosed with cancer, our entire family gathered at once in Busan. Since then, we spent a lot of time together as a family. We had no regrets about those moments," as tears finally welled up after she had held them back.

Yoo Hye-joo said, "While spending time together, there were many opportunities to forgive and heal the wounds among us as a family. My five siblings also grew closer through our father. Although I am somewhat reserved, my younger sisters Hyun-ju and Ji-yu often visited our parents and spent time with them. The younger siblings took turns providing care. Our father even said during his lifetime, 'I am truly happy,' reflecting the kind of time we shared."

She also mentioned, "I turned on this camera to express my gratitude. My siblings and I sent off our father with smiles. They personally visited the burial site to find a suitable resting place for him. Since we had seen how much he suffered due to cancer, his absence of pain brought me more peace of mind. The only sadness now is missing him, not being able to see him anymore. My physical recovery continues."

Yoo Hye-joo shared, "My father often said, 'I will do my part, and you all should focus on your own.' I think this carries deep meaning. It seems like he was saying, 'You don't need to worry about me.' So we are trying to live well while focusing on our own responsibilities. He treated us as if we were his own family, which became a great source of comfort and strength. We are truly grateful."

Yoo Hye-joo's husband also added, "Although the pain of loss is immense, we will overcome it together. The remaining family members have become even more tightly bonded through love. We will carry this love in our hearts and move forward."
