After Seo Dong-ju mentioned Seo Se-won who died in Cambodia, another sad news..It was so vain



Lawyer and broadcaster Seo Dong-ju mentioned his father, the late comedian Seo Se-won.

On the 12th 'Sebashi Lecture' channel, a video of Seo Dong-ju was posted.

Seo Dong-ju said, "The publication proposal came when I overcame various pains well and reached a positive point. I wrote like a diary in hard times. My worries and pains have been completed in books," he said, announcing the publication of the essay.




Then, thinking of Seo Se-won, a love-hate relationship, "It's good, but I hate it so much, and I want to look good."I hated it even if I went. It was hard because I felt so complicated. I didn't want to admit it because there were so many similarities to me. But the resemblance complicated me."

Seo Dong-ju "In fact, when my father died, funerals were held in Cambodia and Korea. In the process, Chloe, an old dog who is blind and deaf, died. Since I'm not home (for the funeral), I feel worse. So, Chloe's funeral was held on the day she signed her father. I had two funerals, so I felt so vain to live" and choked up.

Then "Chloe, who was healthy, also went to heaven in a few weeks. I felt like I wanted to open the world up. My mother was also sick with cancer and had difficulty financially. I wondered what the reason was to live. I wrote and drew so that I wouldn't die. I was able to comfort myself a lot during that time," he said, "I healed my hard time by writing."




However, Seo Dong-ju recently regained her happiness after remarrying, saying that she became very happy after meeting her husband. The words 'good', 'happy' come out unconsciously. I felt happy from the small things."

Meanwhile, Seo Se-won married Seo Jeong-hee in 1981 and had one son and one daughter. In 2015, he was sentenced to six months in prison and suspended for two years for assaulting Seo Jeong-hee, and later divorced by agreement. In 2016, he remarried with a 23-year-old Haegeum performer and had an 8-year-old daughter. Seo Se-won, who has lived in Cambodia, died of cardiac arrest while receiving an IV at the Phnom Penh Korean Hospital in Cambodia in 2023. He was 67.
