On July 25, 2018, announcer Jeong Mi-hong passed away after a long battle with lung cancer.
Announcer Jung Mi-hong, who was diagnosed with lung cancer in January 2015, was hospitalized in February when cancer cells spread to the brain, but eventually separated from his family as his condition worsened.
The late Jung Mi-hong, a graduate of Ewha Womans University's law department and who passed the 10th KBS open recruitment in 1982, was loved as a star announcer, hosting '9 News' and serving as the main MC for the 1988 Summer Olympics broadcast in Seoul. Later, he entered politics and was active as a conservative.
At that time, the deceased said in the last SNS post, "It was a rewarding year, but if there is a regret, it would have been more generous." Comrade, many of you who have been with me, if there's anything I've done to make you sad, please be generous" confided.
Then "I took a long break from broadcasting due to personal reasons. I'm sorry that I didn't meet your expectations. There has been a lot of pressure from various forces on my activities and it is still going on. Because of this, there are many financial and operational difficulties. But I will stand up to the end as I believe it is"Everyone! Always have hope. I don't think there will be any regrets if you do your best for what you believe without giving up hope. It is said that life without regret makes you not have any fears. As long as I always cherish you and I am in your memory, we always see each other as one and forever. Until the day we meet again, fighting!," he said, expressing hope.
Jeong Mi-hong's husband, international lawyer Tim Trinka, told a media outlet that `My wife, my love, Jeong Mi-hong, was a great man who led a great life. (Jung Mi-hong) has always thought deeply about his beliefs and his country. And I've always done the right thing."
Then "Jeong Mi-hong worked tirelessly for the poor, the disabled, and the underprivileged. As a wife and mother, she was a person with a beautiful heart like gold" I remembered my wife.
The fact that the Republic of Korea can create such a great woman shows how great this country is. The Republic of Korea lost a big star today."
Tim Trinka also confessed his desperate love for his wife, saying "My wife, my love, I will miss you even more than you think."
The Korean Patriotic Party, which contains Jeong Mi-hong's body, also posted on its website "Former Secretary-General Jeong Mi-hong went to heaven early this morning." I pray for the repose of the deceased. From the perspective of the bereaved family, the funeral hall cannot be announced, so please remember it in writing."
In addition, Lee, who identified himself as a close aide, said on Facebook that `CEO Jeong Mi-hong died early this morning. CEO Jeong was cured a long time ago after suffering from an incurable disease called lupus, which deteriorated his immune function. Then, since 2013, he has been engaged in various lawsuits, and as a result, he was diagnosed with cancer in January 2015"By the time of the foundation of the Patriotic Party, the disease had already deepened, and at that time, Chairman Chung was already extremely sensitive, and due to a certain incident, he eventually left the Patriotic Party."
