It has been six years since the late comedian Park Ji-sun left our side.

Park was found dead at his home in Mapo District, Seoul, on November 2, 2020.

The late star passed away with his mother at the young age of 36, bringing great sorrow.

After debuting as a KBS 22nd-generation public recruitment comedian in 2007, Park rose to the stage of "Gag Concert" and received much love. As a result, many colleagues and the public still grieve over the late star's absence.

Kim Won-hyo, who was in the same cohort as Park, posted on his personal social media account on the 1st: "Are you doing well? I got a bit busy, so I came a day early. I'm sorry I can't come often~ Are you watching from above? Our cohort members are all doing well these days, so please look after us." He shared that he visited Park's columbarium one day before the six-year anniversary.

In a video recently released on the YouTube channel "Zzanbro Shin Dong-yup," KBS public recruitment comedian 22nd-generation members Park Sung-gwang, Heo Kyung-hwan, Yang Sang-guk, Song Jun-geun, and Jang Hyo-in expressed their longing for Park after going on a retreat.

Park Sung-gwang said, "It seems we haven't been able to gather as much since Ji-sun left," adding, "It wasn't easy for us to say 'let's have some fun together.'" He confessed that even mentioning Park's name had been delicate for a while.

Park Sung-gwang stated, "Yang Sang-guk said, 'Why aren't we talking about Ji-sun? Let's talk about Ji-sun and have a good time,'" adding that from then on, the cohort members were gradually able to comfortably reminisce about the late star.

Seong Hyeon-ju said, "When we first became comedians, we took ID photos for our KBS employee badges and shared one copy each with everyone. In fact, we couldn't appreciate that photo as something precious." She continued, "I heard that Ji-sun's older brother found photos of the 20th cohort members in a desk drawer while organizing Ji-sun's belongings," evoking a sense of emotional weight.

On the May broadcast of KBS 2TV's "The Problematic Kids in the Attic," Yang Sang-guk said about Park, "Every once in a while, I appear on broadcasts and talk about (Park) Ji-sun like this. He was a warm, simple, and unspoiled friend."

Yang Sang-guk said that he visits Park's columbarium with his cohort members every year. He added, "I also meet Ji-sun's father from time to time. My father says, 'I will go in place of Ji-sun, so please contact me if anything happens.' It is natural for cohort members to be close, but building a relationship with a cohort member's father is not an easy thing."

In this way, the late Park Ji-sun is remembered by many as someone who was pure and warm.
