Father of JYJ’s Park 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.
