Comedian Kim Ki-ri has shared his profound grief following the death of his colleague Park Ji-sun, describing how he cried frequently and repeatedly checked their past KakaoTalk messages. In an appearance on the YouTube channel 'Lee Sung-mi's Can't Go,' Kim spoke about how Park's passing became a significant turning point in his life, ultimately leading him to find faith.

“

I'm saying this for the first time, but I cried a lot after Park Ji-sun died. Many people grieved at the funeral, but I deeply contemplated her death. I kept checking the last KakaoTalk messages and conversations I had with her.

Kim recalled how, during his comedy career, he began drinking and smoking, even praying to God to let him "play more." He tried to change his ways, not wanting to be a bad person to his girlfriend, but found it difficult. "I'm saying this for the first time, but I cried a lot after Park Ji-sun died," Kim said. "Many people grieved at the funeral, but I deeply contemplated her death. I kept checking the last KakaoTalk messages and conversations I had with her."

“

What did I say? Why didn't I ask her how she was doing back then?

He expressed his internal conflict, questioning, "What did I say?" and "Why didn't I ask her how she was doing back then?" Months later, fellow comedian Lee Sung-mi suggested gathering Park's colleagues for a conversation with a pastor. Lee asked if anyone would read the Bible that year, and Kim, along with Oh Na-mi, were the only ones to raise their hands.
