Singer Yu Jina said on the 8th, recalling the late Song Hae, who died at the age of 95.
“My father called about 20 days ago, and he wanted to see my face, so he told me to come home soon, but I didn’t see him,” Yu Jina said in a telephone conversation with the company.
“The last time I was here was two months ago,” he said. “I asked if you were okay after you had suffered from Corona 19, and I said, “I died and I was alive.” But I was sad that you said, “I’m not so sick, so I’m okay.”
Yu Jina was so special with the deceased that she was known as the “Song Hae’s foster daughter.” They spent time calling each other father and daughter.
Yu Jina said, "The first time I learned with my father was through KBS1 'National Song Proud', and after releasing the song 'Father and Daughter' in 2016, I became close to my father and daughter."
“Father and Daughter” is a duet song by Yu Jina and Song Hae, and they have staged together in various programs.
Yu Jina said, "When I asked for a duet song, I was worried that I would get hurt. At the first proposal, only Park Hyun-jin, the composer who wrote the song, went to the office in Jongno with a demo song."
“My father first heard the demo song and said, ‘Yu Jina is ringing me.’ He just cried, and then he said he would sing it together.”
Song Hae's bereaved family include two daughters; his wife died first in 2018; Yu Jina has been close to his family as well as Song Hae.
Yu Jina said, "My father was born in the same year as my father who left first in the sky, and my father was more fond of him, and I used to think that his father was alive. He was a person who had a lot of affection. "
Meanwhile, the funeral hall of the deceased will be held in the funeral halls 2 and 3 of Seoul National University Hospital. The funeral will be held as the president of the Korea Broadcasting Comedian Association.
