The letter's content goes:
"Yoon Jung! My beloved daughter, Yoon Jung! I heard the news that you went to the ER because you were sick. It so happens that I've also been ill since yesterday. I've been so ill that I haven't been able to visit the hospital. I didn't know why I was sick but I realized that it's because my daughter is also sick! I get the thought that a mother and daughter ailing at the same time is fate created by the heavens. Just what is filial piety. Yoon Jung! When I hear that my healthy daughter is sick, I'm reminded of the time when you were gravely ill back in October of 2004 and April of 2006. The memory of how you left Siheung Hospital on your brother's back despite the doctor telling you that you need rest is flashing by. I still remember how you continued your promotions within two days even though you were so sick. When I think back on it, I really am an 'awful mother who eats off her daughter's back' as they say. Why didn't I prevent my sick daughter from doing those promotions? There's probably no mother in this world who is as heartless as I am. No matter how stubborn her daughter may be, the mother shouldn't act like that. I deserve to die.
Even when you bawled your eyes out saying that you will jump from Yanghwa Bridge because the singer lifestyle was too difficult, I wasn't able to give you strength. It's because we were impoverished. It's all my fault. I want to bring the seafood porridge and pumpkin porridge that I cooked for you when you were sick. I'm being punished right now. This is all karma and everything is my fault. My love Yoon Jung, I hope you get some rest this time. I'm incredibly sad that the only thing I can do for you right now is make you the porridges that you like so much. What's even more sad is the rapacity of this 'awful mother who eats off her daughter's back.' I wish that I was sick in your stead. I love you, Yoon Jung! I want to see you at least one more time."
Some of the netizen comments on the article that published this letter reads, "Wooww...she's unbelievably tiresome...this is some stalker level...is she really a mother?" "Why does she send the letter to a media outlet and not her daughter? We don't even want to know about your family situation," and, "Personally, I feel really bad for Yoon Jung. I don't think her mother is being sincere considering she exposed the letter to the media. Why did she need to write this kind of letter????"
