Back in October of last year, Sun Ye’s father was rushed to an intensive care unit after he turned for the worse from a long-term illness. Flying immediately from New York to South Korea, Sun Ye was able to visit him through those tough times. It was reporter earlier this morning that Sun Ye’s father passed away.

After her mother passed away, a young Sun Ye was taken care of by her grandparents because her father suffered from a health condition that kept him bedridden almost all of the time. In the midst of beginning their promotions for ‘Tell Me’, Sun Ye got the news that her grandfather had passed away, he never got the chance to see her granddaughter’s comeback.
While studying English in New York and preparing for their future activities in the United States, Sun Ye received word that her father had stopped breathing and was rushed to the hospital. Taking the first flight from New York, Sun Ye was able to visit her father and watch for him. After missing promotional events, such as the Justice fan meet and greet, Sun Ye explained the reason for her absence.
“My father was suffering from a long-term illness and few months ago, he was rushed to the hospital when it suddenly worsened. Upon hearing the news, I immediately flew from New York to Korea to visit my father, and it so happened that other members were to return to Korea after a week in order to attend an event set up in Korea. I watched after my father for a week and thankfully he got better, so after consulting his doctor I was able to attend the scheduled event. He had the illness for almost 20 years, and it wasn’t something that could be dealt with immediately, so after seeing that he got better, I could settle my mind and return to performing.”
Now, Sun Ye has received grieving news on the morning of the 24th of June (Korea time) that her father passed away from the chronic illness he had been suffering from for 20 years. Her father is currently being kept at the funeral home in Seoul Asan General Hospital and will be buried on the 26th.
A close friend of Sun Ye revealed, “After fighting his illness for several years, Sunye’s father has passed away. At the death of her father, Sunye is going through an unexplainable amount of pain and sadness.”
