As One's Crystal Mourns the Loss of Partner Lee Min in Heartfelt Post



Crystal of the group As One expressed her deep longing and sorrow for the late Lee Min, a member who passed away.

Crystal posted a lengthy post on her personal account on Thursday, writing that the "time after immigration died was the most demanding time of her life.", he confessed.

He said "My partner, my best friend, my half, who was always by my side when I sang… After letting Min go, I feel like my heart has fallen off. That vacancy won't be filled for the rest of your life," he said, expressing his heart-wrenching sadness.




Krystal emphasized As One's special bond with the deceased, who was together from the beginning to the end. "We were always a pair. Living together for more than half of your life, breathing, eating, laughing, crying... He was my half who shared the same life," he recalled.

He said he had no intention of disclosing his feelings, but he was encouraged by the love and comfort sent by his fans and colleagues.

He "Thanks to the love and consolation you have sent me, I know that this sadness is not just me. I realized that many people who cared for and loved Min have the same heart as me," he said.




Then "Min was love itself. He was the warmest soul I've ever met in my life, loving shopping and delicious food, taking care of people around him first and sharing love generously" and remembered the warm nature of immigration during his lifetime.

Then "Now he'll be flying freely in a better place. I'm Min who couldn't stay still. I'm sure he's still smiling somewhere"I prayed for the peace of the deceased.

Finally, Crystal says "I'll miss you every day, every moment. My half, my friend, my family, my other me," he concluded.




Meanwhile, Crystal and the deceased made their debut in 1999 with As One's first album 'Day By Day.

These past few days have been the most demanding time of my life. My partner, best friend, my half, who was always by my side when I sang... After letting Min go... I feel like a part of my heart has fallen off.

The vacancy won't be filled for the rest of your life.

When I say "min", we've always been a pair. Living together for more than half of your life, breathing, eating, laughing, crying... A real half of me who shared the same life.

Didn't you intend to post something like this?It's so hard and it's hard to even talk about it. But thanks to the love and consolation you sent me, I found out that this sadness is not just me.

I realized again that many people who cared for and loved Min have the same heart as me.

Min was love itself?I love shopping, I love eating, I laugh a lot, and I've waited for hours to eat delicious food. Above all, I was a person who always took care of people around me first and shared the love I had generously. It was the warmest soul I've ever met in my life.

In recent days, I spent time remembering the precious people and Min who have been with us for the past 26 years. Even in the midst of painful memories, warm moments came to mind, and I was able to laugh for a while because of those who met again. But I really didn't expect to walk this journey for this reason...

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.Your love, memory, and warm words gave me great comfort. Thanks to you, we were able to do what we love the most and become one on stage together. I heartily thank you.

Yesterday, did you send Min well?Now he'll be flying freely in a better place. I'm Min, who couldn't stay still all the time, so he's still busy smiling somewhere.

And Brand New Music, bigrhymer, our dear friends...

Thank you for always being with me for over 20 years, and thank you so much for loving Min as much as I do, and for being with me to make his last path beautiful. Give me a break to breathe so I can get through this timeLet's... Thank you so much.

Now, Min will be relaxing with her mom, Jjanga, and Toby, who she always missed. That made me feel a little comfortable.

I'll miss you every day, every moment?My half, my friend, my family, my other me.

Forever As One.
