• "I still miss you so much, Park Dong-bin. I have received so much comfort and love."

As actress Lee Sang-i has been bravely living with her daughter since her husband and fellow actor, the late Park Dong-bin, suddenly passed away, she shared her feelings along with a message of gratitude on the 100th day since his departure.

On the 6th, Lee posted on her personal account: "This is a space where we used to capture our simple daily life together. For a long time, I couldn't bring myself to open it, and although I tried writing many times, I often found myself just staring at the photos without knowing what to say or how to begin, eventually closing them again. Today marks the 100th day since we spent this time of sorrow. After passing through these 100 days, I realized that grief is not solved by time alone, but rather by gradually learning how to live together."

Lee continued, "I still find myself thinking of him unexpectedly often. When I see beautiful scenery, I wish he had been here with me; when I eat delicious food, I wonder if he would have loved it just as much; and when Ji-yoo smiles brightly, I imagine how happy he must have been to see that expression. He visits our daily life several times a day like this." She added, "At first, the longing was so painful that those moments were overwhelming, but recently things have changed a bit. Although I still miss him deeply, I've come to think of even that feeling as part of our everyday life."

She further expressed, "Going through this experience, I received an immense amount of comfort and love. Even now, my family members who watch over me every day, those who send morning prayers at the start of each day, those who visited in person to embrace me, those who prayed for me from afar, those who learned about our situation through news articles and broadcasts and carefully conveyed their thoughts, and even the brief comments and DMs left behind have stayed in my heart longer than I expected. Those warm hearts were the strength that allowed both Ji-yoo and me to walk this path so far. I am sincerely grateful." She also shared, "And I learned one more thing: that humans are not meant to live alone. There were many precious connections around us that I hadn't fully realized before. I now understand how much comfort that fact brings."

Lee said, "Recently, we spend ordinary days without anything special happening. We laugh over a single ice cream, get dirty playing in the playground, splash around in water play areas, and fall asleep after laughing while reading books and joking around. Moments that used to seem natural now feel like daily gifts." She then stated, "So from now on, I will try to leave behind"

"a few more ordinary stories here," adding, "How much Ji-yoo laughed happily today, what sky I looked up at today, and even days when I missed him without any particular reason. We will slowly record our ordinary today and continue living." She shared her daily life with her daughter in this way.

Finally, addressing the late Park Dong-bin, Lee wrote: "Oppa. Even as time passes, my longing for you remains unchanged. Ji-yoo is growing so wonderfully day by day. Sometimes her smiling face resembles yours so much that I find myself smiling along without realizing it. Thanks to the love you left behind for us, we are living well today too. We will continue to do so in the future." She concluded with, "Once again, I sincerely thank everyone who opened their hearts for our family. I will never forget those feelings."

The late Park Dong-bin suddenly passed away on April 29. According to the Pyeongtaek Police Station in Gyeonggi Province, the deceased was found dead at a restaurant inside a commercial building in Jang-dong, Pyeongtaek City. A friend discovered the body and reported it to the police; no signs of homicide or other criminal acts were found. It is known that Park had been dedicated to his business and activities until recently, which has caused great sorrow.

Meanwhile, Park Dong-bin made his debut with the film 'Shiri' and appeared in various works including the dramas 'The Age of Rebellion', 'Daughters of Kim Pharmacy', 'Great Wives', 'Heaven's Promise', and films 'Three Musketeers of Joseon' and 'My Man's Romance'. In particular, he became a major topic due to a scene in the drama 'I Think I Loved You' where he spilled juice.

The following is the full text of Lee Sang-i's post

This was a space where we captured our simple daily life together.

For a long time, I couldn't bring myself to open it, and although I tried writing many times, I often found myself just staring at the photos without knowing what to say or how to begin, eventually closing them again.

Today marks the 100th day after spending this time of sorrow...

After passing through these 100 days,

I realized that grief is not solved by time alone, but rather by gradually learning how to live together.

I still find myself thinking of him unexpectedly often.

When I see beautiful scenery, I wish he had been here with me;

when I eat delicious food, I wonder if he would have loved it just as much;

and when Ji-yoo smiles brightly, I imagine how happy he must have been to see that expression.

He visits our daily life several times a day like this.

At first, the longing was so painful that those moments were overwhelming,

but recently things have changed a bit.

Although I still miss him deeply, I've come to think of even that feeling as part of our everyday life.

Going through this experience, I received an immense amount of comfort and love.

My family members who watch over me every day,

those who send morning prayers at the start of each day,

those who visited in person to embrace me, those who prayed for me from afar,

those who learned about our situation through news articles and broadcasts and carefully conveyed their thoughts, and even the brief comments and DMs left behind have stayed in my heart longer than I expected.

Those warm hearts were the strength that allowed both Ji-yoo and me to walk this path so far. I am sincerely grateful.

And I learned one more thing.

That humans are not meant to live alone.

There were many precious connections around us that I hadn't fully realized before. I now understand how much comfort that fact brings.

Recently, we spend ordinary days without anything special happening. We laugh over a single ice cream, get dirty playing in the playground, splash around in water play areas, and fall asleep after laughing while reading books and joking around. That kind of day.

Moments that used to seem natural

now feel like daily gifts.

So from now on, I will try to leave behind

a few more ordinary stories here.

How much Ji-yoo laughed happily today.

what sky I looked up at today.

and even days when I missed him without any particular reason.

We will slowly record our ordinary today and continue living.

Oppa...

Even as time passes, my longing for you remains unchanged.

Ji-yoo is growing so wonderfully day by day.

Sometimes her smiling face resembles yours so much that I find myself smiling along without realizing it.

Thanks to the love you left behind for us,

we are living well today too.

We will continue to do so in the future.

And once again, I sincerely thank everyone who opened their hearts for our family. I will never forget those feelings.
