■ Park Seo-jin Holds Memorial Rite for Grandmother at Sea After 31 Years

Park Seo-jin visited his hometown of Samcheonpo for his father's health checkup. His father's three younger sisters, Park's aunts, also joined. The aunts shared stories of how Park Seo-jin's father, as the eldest son, took care of his younger siblings and played the role of head of the family.

The family shared memories of the grandmother, who passed away 31 years ago. Park Seo-jin's mother recalled that her mother-in-law had been a comforting presence like her own mother, and revealed that she had cared for her during her final three months.

Upon arriving at the sea, his father greeted her, saying, "Mother, I am here. I came with your son and grandson," and also remembered his two sons who had passed away before her.

Park Seo-jin set up a memorial table with his grandmother's portrait and ritual foods, and his father performed a memorial rite at sea for the first time in 31 years. Looking at his mother's photo with reddened eyes, the father said, "Please hold the hands of the grandchildren who are by your side and walk with them."
