Park Ki-woong posted a lengthy post on his SNS on the 2nd, directly revealing that his father died in an accident on June 7. The agency IHQ also officially confirmed the sad news, saying that `Park Ki-woong's father died in an accident.'
Park Ki-woong said, `We have held three exhibitions this year, and in July, we were planning a fourth exhibition with a new work that we have been preparing for for over a year"But my father died in an accident while preparing for the last minute of the exhibition. All schedules have been suspended.'
Then "The gallery carefully suggested postponing the exhibition, but at the moment when I was holding the Samwoo Festival with my mother, I suddenly thought my father would have told me to push ahead with the exhibition."My father was the one who valued promises the most. It was as if you were telling me to keep that promise."
Park Ki-woong said "In the end, we decided to proceed with the exhibition as it is. And I'm trying to do it well"You'll need time, but I'll walk slowly. I thought the world had collapsed, but I also found out that it was not."
Park Ki-woong, an actor and painter, has already held three exhibitions this year alone, and this July's exhibition is a solo exhibition consisting of only 100% new works.
Next is Park Ki-woong's SNS post.
Hello, I'm Park Kiwoong.
I say hello to many people who are curious about and concerned about me.
I don't do SNS often, so I'm asking for your understanding that I'm greeting you a little late.
I've had three exhibitions this year, and this July, I was planning a fourth exhibition with only 100% new works that I've been preparing for over the past year.
In the midst of final preparations, my father died on June 7 due to an accident.
Of course, all the schedules have been suspended.
By the way, our galleries are really good people.
He carefully recommended me to postpone the exhibition, which was not in an economic situation.
As you know, if the gallery postpones the exhibition, it will cause a lot of damage in many areas. Nevertheless, that's what you said first.
Thank you very much for your warm heart.
At that time, I was serving my mother as a Samuje in the countryside, and I thought I should postpone the exhibition, but at that moment, I suddenly thought my father wouldn't want it.
My father was a person who valued promises more than anything else.
I felt like you were telling me to keep my promise with the gallery.
So I told my mother.
"Mom, I'll go do this. Please hold for a moment. I'll wrap this up well and come back down..."
Me. I'm going to proceed with the exhibition as it is. And I'm trying to do well. I really want to do well.
This exhibition is the first time in the artist's life to showcase sculptural works.
It is a molding work that I made with my father, who did interior design, and my younger brother, who was more artistic than me since he was young, thinking about it for more than eight months. I'm still working on it with my younger brother.
When I work, I often cry because I feel like I'm with my father and the three of us.
There was a lot of trial and error, but it's increasing as it breaksThanks to my family who supported me, I was able to proceed with it with a smile.
I don't know. Whether I'm a good son or an unfaithful son.
There are many administrative things that I haven't dealt with yet, but this will be my first and last work with my father, so I want to finish it well.
So..."Daddy, did you do well, son?" I want to show it to you proudly.
In addition, I would like to bow down to everyone who has shown their sincere comfort.
I really couldn't do anything without them.
You'll need time, but I'll walk slowly.
It felt like the world had collapsed, but I also found out that it wasn't.
The fact that I couldn't give all the people I deserved to contact because there was no situation,
Please forgive me for contacting you even though we are not on good terms to contact you.
My family is still living in a time of pain, but the next time I post, I'll make sure to show you a step forward.
Please keep an eye on us.
Once again, thank you very much.
