It has already been one year since the passing away of actress Jang Jin Young, who unfortunately died at age 37 after battling from an inevitable stomach cancer last September. On the 1st September at 11am, Jang Jin Young's loved ones came together once again to open her one year memorial at the Sky Castle Memorial Park in Gyeonggi-do. Those present at the memorial included the actress's husband Kim Young Kyun, her father Jang Gil Nam and her family, associates from her entertainment company Yedang Entertainment, and members of the actress's fanclub J-Rose. They brought along flowers and words of remembrance, and released balloons into the sky in the hope for Jang Jin Young to eternally rest in peace. The memorial commenced with a meditation led by her then manager Kim Han Chul. Letters written by members of J-Rose and her entertainment company were read out, which was followed by speeches from Jang Jin Young's father and husband. Her father Jang Nam Gil said, "Whenever I call out her name it feels like she would come running to me with her bright smile, but it has already been a year since time has passed. The saying 'you bury your child in your heart' is piercingly heart-breaking ." He continued, "For this past year, every time I came across little traces of you in each room, my heart collapsed into pieces." Lastly he finished his letter with, "I thank all the fans who have shown love for Jin Young and Jin Young's dramas", "Jin Young, I love you. I will love you forever." Her husband Kim Yong Kyun read aloud, "It has been one year since you left my side and the people who loved you. Time passes so thoughtlessly. Why do I feel so embarrassed living by myself without you. Whenever I think of you, all I can say is sorry." He continued, "I can't see you again, you can't come back to me but because of our beautiful memories together I can live on without forgetting you", "I dream of meeting you again and loving you forever. I won't say this is the last. I will just say goodbye and wait for the day I get to meet you again." To refreshen your memory, we shared a sweet love story of Jang Jin Young and her husband shortly after her death. It was while Jang Jin Young and Kim Yong Kyun were dating when the actress was diagnosed with stomach cancer, and persisted on breaking up with him without revealing the reason why. Kim Yong Kyun eventually found out and confessed that he wanted to stay with her until the end. Jang's father said after the memorial, "After one year, I can feel how important your own child is, and how well she took care of me. I regret not taking better care of her. What gets me the most is when I was against her going into acting. There was another time when I told her to just cut her hair with scissors, and when she went into acting I was too busy to give her attention due to work. Sometimes I think, if I let her do what she wanted a bit earlier, would we still have come to this conclusion today." Actress Jang Jin Young gained popularity from her works, including movies 'Scent of Chrysanthemums', 'Singles' and 'Blue Swallow'. [gallery]
