Professor Lee kept vigil at the wake with his family and received mourners. The deceased left behind two sons and two daughters during her lifetime.
Entertainers connected to the professor, including actress Park Ha-sun and broadcasters Cho Young-gu, Kwon Young-chan, Cho Hyang-ki, Kim Jun-ho, and Kim Ji-min, sent wreaths or visited in person to share their sorrow with the bereaved family. SM C&C, an entertainment agency representing Kang Ho-dong, Seo Jang-hoon, Jeon Hyun-moo, and Jang Do-yeon, also offered condolences to the family with a wreath of mourning flowers.
In particular, the professor, along with Seo Jang-hoon and Park Ha-sun, is currently appearing together on the JTBC variety show 'Divorce Camp.' Kim Eun-jung, head of JTBC's variety division, the production team for 'Divorce Camp,' and the production team for tvN STORY's 'Lee Ho-sun Counseling Office' also sent wreaths of mourning flowers to pay their respects to the deceased.
The departure ceremony for the deceased was held on the 1st. Cremation took place at Yeonhwa Hall in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, and the remains were interred at Gwangju Park Cemetery in Gwangju City, Gyeonggi Province.
After completing the funeral, Professor Lee expressed his gratitude via social media on the 2nd. Notably, he drew attention by stating his intention to donate the entire amount of condolence money received during the funeral period for self-reliant youth.
On that day, the professor shared his reflections on the completion of the funeral on his personal SNS, saying, "Thank you. Thanks to all of you, I was able to see off my mother well."
He added, "All the procedures of the funeral were gracious and peaceful until the very end," and stated, "I bow my head in gratitude to those who came despite their busy schedules and to everyone who joined me in spirit from afar."
In particular, Professor Lee also expressed his regret for being unable to fulfill scheduled plans due to his mother's passing. He said, "There were several lectures and broadcasts I could not attend because of the funeral, yet the staff and citizens conveyed messages saying 'it is okay' through various channels," adding, "It was a comfort that more than covered my feelings of apology."
He also expressed his deep longing for his mother. Professor Lee said, "My mother's appearance remains on my face, her faith fills my soul, and her powerful life is firmly engraved in my memory. Therefore, my mother and I are still connected."

Professor Lee also vowed, "Since I resemble my mother, I will live with that passion. Since she passed on her faith, I will strive to pray. Since I inherited her strong steps, I will walk forward humbly."
He continued by recalling, "My mother was a cheerful and generous person, just like her bright smile," and stated, "I pray that the great heart and gift of love that God gave to my mother may be passed on as a blessing to those who came and offered comfort."
In particular, he also revealed his intention to donate the condolence money received during the funeral period.
Professor Lee added, "The condolence money you have conveyed will be donated for self-reliant youth who are now walking into a new world, just as my mother cared for unknown lives with invisible hands. The hearts you sent before my mother's life will be passed on to those young people."
