Yang Hee-eun previously told the story of putting her father in state at the National Cemetery through an essay published in 2023. His father, the late Army Colonel Yang Jeong-gil, is a former 4th Army sergeant and a national merit who participated in the Korean War and was awarded the Chungmu Order of Merit in 1951. After not being buried for a long time, he was buried at the Seoul National Cemetery's 2nd Cemetery in May 2023 for the first time in 59 years according to his family's wishes.

Yang Hee-eun's visit was not just a memorial, but a moment to convey warm comfort and sympathy to the bereaved families who suffered the same pain.

Since then, he has established himself as a recognized national singer who leads the music industry with a heavy presence, creating numerous masterpieces such as ' evergreen', 'marginal', and 'about the loneliness of love'.
