Sagang, who tragically lost her husband earlier this year, opened up about how the drama "Lovely Runner", starring Byeon Woo Seok, has brought her comfort during this difficult time.

In the November 12 episode of SBS Plus and E Channel's variety show "Solo La Seo," Sagang made her first appearance since her husband passed away in January.

During the episode, she shared how she keeps the memory of her late husband alive by talking about him with her two daughters. "Of course, my husband isn’t here anymore, but when I talk to the kids, it feels like he’s still around," she said.

She added, "The word 'dad' shouldn't be something uncomfortable. If we avoid it, it makes things harder, so I try to mention my husband naturally and often."

Sagang explained that she used to avoid giving her kids instant food like ramen, which her husband used to eat with them. Now, she shares those meals with her daughters.

Her daughters, who are in 4th grade and 1st year of middle school, are fans of Tomorrow X Together. Sagang remembered, "My husband used to take them to concerts. He liked concerts too, so they went together."

One evening, after finishing her daily routine, Sagang suggested to her daughters, "How about we watch 'Lovely Runner before bed?" The three of them sat down to watch the show together.

"I wasn’t really in the mood to watch a drama," Sagang admitted. "But I heard it was fun, so I decided to try. At some point, both I and the kids were laughing. For a brief moment, I didn’t think about anything else and just enjoyed the show." She became emotional as she remembered a line from the drama that deeply touched her: "So, let's live today. The weather is so nice. Tomorrow, it’s supposed to rain, so while waiting for the rain to stop, let’s live again."

Sagang added, "The drama felt like more than just entertainment; it came to me at the right time." Shin Dong Yeop humorously responded, "Our Byeon Woo Seok really did something big," which made everyone laugh.

Sagang married her non-celebrity husband in 2007 and had two daughters with him. Sadly, she lost her husband earlier this year.
