Former 4Minute member and actress Heo Gayoon shared the pain of losing her brother and how it completely changed the trajectory of her life, bringing tears to the public's eyes.

According to industry sources on the 16th (Korean time), Heo Gayoon revealed in a YouTube channel 'Sebasi Lecture' released on the 14th that the decisive reason for her leaving for Bali was due to the death of her biological brother in 2020.

◆ "Brother who wanted to travel after becoming independent, left right after achieving his dream..."

Heo Gayoon recalled, "One early morning, I received a call from my mom saying that my brother had passed away," reflecting on the sudden farewell due to his worsening illness. The moment that shocked her the most was when she was sorting through her brother's belongings. Heo Gayoon shared, "It was just after he had achieved the independence he longed for. When I went to clean the house, the refrigerator and other appliances were still brand new, unopened in their packaging," adding, "It was so sad and empty that he left without ever enjoying what he wanted after working so hard."

◆ "Let's not procrastinate"... Sadness becomes courage

Her brother's death completely changed Heo Gayoon's outlook on life. She stated, "I thought life was too empty, and I felt that 'even if I die tomorrow, let's live without regrets, and if there's something I want to do, let's do it right away', and this thought became the driving force that led me to Bali."

◆ Finding 'my true self' in Bali

Currently residing in Bali, Heo Gayoon chose a simple life instead of the glamorous life of a celebrity. She conveyed, "Although I can't earn as much money as before and there are times when I feel anxious about the uncertain future, I am satisfied with living each day while maintaining my daily life now." In her courageous confession of finding an independent life after overcoming sadness, netizens are supporting her, saying, "It's a life gifted by her brother," and "It makes us rethink the meaning of true happiness."
