Father of JYJ’s Yoochun and Park Yoohwan passes away

The father of JYJ‘s Yoochun and actor Park Yoohwan has been reported to have passed away.

On March 14th, industry representatives revealed that Park Yoohwan cancelled all of his recording schedules for his current drama, ‘Strongest K-Pop Survival‘. A representative explained, “We heard that his father passed away. For now, we have delayed all of his scenes.”

Yoochun’s representative added, “We also heard that his father passed away. It happened so suddenly so we’re not sure if he’s heard of it yet. Yoochun is currently on his way back from his concert in Peru and we haven’t been able to get in touch with him. He’s been feeling great over the success of JYJ’s South American tour so it’s really unfortunate to hear of this. We’re worried that he will be in shock upon hearing the news.”

Yoochun must make a stop in the States before returning to Korea, so there’s a considerable amount of time before the unfortunate news will reach him.

Park Yoo Chun's Younger Brother: "It Was Difficult Watching My Brother Having a Hard Time Because of Sasaeng Fans"

JYJ Park Yoo Chun's younger brother, Park Yoo Hwan opened up about the recent JYJ sasaeng fan controversy. On March 13, Park Yoo Hwan participated in the press conference of Channel A's upcoming drama "The Strongest K-Pop Survival" and talked about his experience of watching Park Yoo Chun struggle with Sasaeng fan problems. 

Park Yoo Hwan stated, "I've seen my brother struggling with that kind of issue since I was young, so I am well aware of how difficult it is to deal with it. It breaks my heart to watch my big brother always feeling down. Sasaeng fans took away his liveliness and smile. All I can do for him is just to laugh with him, fool around, and be as lively as possible. I'm trying my best to help him out."

He also commented on the upcoming show "The Strongest K-Pop Survival," "Many people compare my character in the show with my brother Yoo Chun, but I just want to make it clear that there's nothing to compare. They are very different. I think everyone can be fake from time to time. My character is a good person, but has that fake side, too. I'm trying my best to portray such double identity in my character."

Park Yoo Hwan added, "My brother is starring in upcoming SBS drama 'Rooftop Prince.' I watched the trailer and it looked good. Since my show 'the Strongest K-pop Survival' is on Mondays and Tuesdays, and 'Rooftop Prince' is on Wednesdays and Thursdays, I wish both of our shows have a great turnout."
