Six years have passed since comedian Park Ji-sun passed away, yet her colleagues continue to remember her fondly.
Park was found dead at her home in Mapo District, Seoul, alongside her mother on November 2, 2020, at the age of 36.
On November 1, a day before the anniversary, comedian Kim Won-hyo visited her memorial space. He shared a photo of his visit on social media, writing, "I came a day early because I’ve been a bit busy. I’m sorry I can’t visit often. Are you watching over us from above? Everyone is doing well these days. Please keep an eye on us."
On November 2, Jo Yoon-ho posted on social media, "Did Ji-dol smile today? We laughed while talking about you after a long time. It rained until yesterday, but maybe because Ji-dol came, the sky is clear and beautiful today. Ji-sun! I miss you!" He included a photo featuring fellow KBS Class of 22 comedians Kim Ji-ho, Song Jun-geun, and Jang Hyo-in.
Yang Sang-guk also took to social media that day, stating, "It’s already been five years. Thanks to Ji-sun and everyone, we’ve cried and laughed together. Everyone is doing well, so please cheer for us."
Born in 1984, Park Ji-sun graduated from Korea University with a degree in education and debuted as a comedian with KBS Class of 22 in 2007.
She gained recognition for her work on KBS2's 'Gag Concert,' winning the Best Newcomer Award in the comedy category at the KBS Entertainment Awards in her debut year. She later received an Excellence Award in 2008 and a Best Award in 2010.
Beloved for her catchphrase "It's so easy," Park excelled not only in stand-up comedy but also in sitcoms and radio. She expanded her career by hosting showcases for singers and drama press conferences.
Park referred to herself as a 'stylish comedian' during her life, a title that continues to resonate with those who remember her. In 2021, a posthumous collection of her writings and drawings titled 'Stylish Comedian' was published, featuring her thoughts on daily life, family, and laughter.
