On January 20, singer and producer J.Y. Park revealed the heartbreaking news that his father has passed away.

In a deeply emotional message, J.Y. Park wrote, “Just before the final live broadcast of THE DDANDDARA, my father passed away and went to heaven. The timing was incredible—I travel so much for work, but he passed while I was filming just 10 minutes away from his hospital. Because of that, I was able to see him while he was still alive and also right after he passed. I’m so thankful for that.”

J.Y. Park shared that his father had been battling dementia for years and had been mostly unconscious over the past year. “Our family had been preparing for this moment,” he explained, “but seeing him after he passed made my heart feel like it dropped to the ground.”

Finding comfort in his faith, he added, “When my dad was in the early stages of dementia, he became childlike and pure. During that time, he learned about Jesus and came to fully believe in the gospel. As a Christian family, this has been our strength. We know where he’s gone and that we’ll meet him again soon. Without that faith, I don’t think I could have gotten through this.”

Reflecting on his father’s impact, he said, “To the man I called not ‘Father’ but ‘Dad’ until the very end—my best friend who always believed in me and supported me. You’re probably reading this from heaven now. The person I am today is all thanks to you. Thank you, Dad. You truly were the best dad to me. Let’s talk a lot when we meet again.”

J.Y. Park concluded his message by requesting privacy for his family during this time. “To my friends and acquaintances, I’m sorry, but the funeral will be held quietly with just our family. I would appreciate it if you could join us in spirit.”

Fans around the world have expressed their condolences and support for J.Y. Park during this difficult time.
