This is the saddest post I’ve had to write about Jung Il-woo…

I remember the moment I saw A-woo’s cute photo of her head on his hand and I thought… Awwwwww!   That’s so cute!

And then I started to read his words:

I felt so sad, this horrible chilling energy went through my entire body.  And then tears collected in my eyes… I thought about how much he loved her, and how important she was in his life. Awoo was his friend, someone who gave him company and who helped him relax from his hectic life.  It was also important to the rest of his family as she was often left in their care.  He named her A-woo as it was like “his little sister.”

These are the two other photos he posted of her:

I am concerned about Il-woo because the loss of A-woo is huge and soon he will also feel the loss of his character Lee Geum.  That’s a lot of loss close in range.  I know Il-woo will get through it, with the help of his family and friends, but it will still be very painful for him.  Before I was wishing for some downtime for him… now I wish he was slightly busier, because working on things helps to keep your head away from the source of pain at least part of the time.  Now he will have more than a month “free.”  Maybe he can travel somewhere… I’m glad he has his Fan Meetings eventually, these will help him focus his mind on something else.

I will write a big post about A-woo soon, I will try to include all the photos I have seen or her in order…

I posted these in Instagram yesterday, I tried to convey the passing of a really dark stormy moment to a break in the clouds and the coming of light and color again…

And I wrote this poem for him:

Please continue to write kind words to him, he needs them so much.  But I would say keep the photos of A-woo away as much as you are able… I think if I was in his shoes, seeing all those photos of her in Instagram would make me sadder.

Hang in there Il-woo, and be thankful for A-woo will always be part of your energy forever.  I can’t wait to see you Smile again…
