Model Lee Sun Jin shared the sad news on her Instagram, saying, “We didn’t keep in touch often, and time just passed by. I was actually scared that you might have been in a lot of pain, so there were times when I avoided contacting you out of cowardice. I’m sorry. Please forgive foolish me.”

She also spoke about Lee Pyung, saying, “She suffered from cancer for a long time. Even though she was in pain, she continued to walk the runway and work as a model, finding happiness in it. She wanted to be remembered for her beautiful moments as a model and didn’t want people to know about her pain, so she couldn’t let those around her know about her suffering. I’m sorry. For the best model, for the amazing junior colleagues, please join us on the final journey of the deceased.”
