On the 25th, Sean "Seungil, you've done a great job so far. The small ball of hope you shot has become a string of hope that many people continue to have,' he said, lamenting that `The Lou Gehrig Nursing Hospital you've been dreaming of is about to be completed, and I'm so sorry that I can't show it.'
And then "23 years were very frustrating. Now run and move freely in heaven as much as you want" "There are so many things I want to tell you, but let's meet in heaven later and talk about all the things we couldn't say. Seungil, I'm sorry and I miss you already. I love you, my friend," he added.
On this day, Seungil Hope Foundation "Co-CEO Park Seung-il was 53 years old and went to Bundang Seoul National University Hospital." he said. He was 53.
Co-CEO Park Seung-il finished studying in the U.S. after working as a basketball player at Yonsei University and Kia Motors, and was appointed as the youngest professional basketball coach at Hyundai Mobis in 2002. However, he was confirmed to have Lou Gehrig's disease in the same year when he was appointed as a coach and endured a battle with strong will and faith for 23 years.
Immediately after the confirmation of Lou Gehrig's disease, co-CEO Park Seung-il had a dream of building a Lou Gehrig's nursing hospital for his patients with Lou Gehrig's disease and his family's difficult disease-fighting environment. Even while battling the disease, he has been striving to realize his dreams by publishing a book written in various media, broadcasts, and eye mice 'Writing Hope with Eyes' (2009, co-authored by Park Seung-il and Lee Kyu-yeon).
Singer Sean has been with his dream for a long time. Sean appeared on JTBC 'Newsroom' on the 22nd and mentioned his hope by directly revealing the world's first Lou Gehrig nursing hospital, which is underway with co-CEO Park Seung-il.
Sean said, `I know that the Lou Gehrig Hospital, which I have dreamed of for 14 years, will be completed in December.' `It was built from the bottom, so I would feel overwhelmed to see it, especially now I usually see Park Seung-il having Lou Gehrig's disease for three to five years. Many people say they're going to heaven now. Park Seung-il held out for 22 years. So now CEO Park Seung-il has said, "I'm still overwhelmed when I think about how happy he will be when he sees the construction."
Contrary to Sean's hopes, CEO Park Seung-il died just before the completion of Lou Gehrig Hospital, causing regret.
CEO Park Seung-il said in an early broadcast of Lou Gehrig's disease in 2002, `I don't know how much time I have left, but I don't want to spend that time meaninglessly. I want to live for someone. Someone is a Lou Gehrig's disease patient."
The Seungil Hope Foundation said, `CEO Park Seungil lived according to his belief and now hopes that he will put down all the weight of his life and rest in peace in heaven.'
A mortuary was set up in Room 10 on the 3rd floor of the funeral hall of Bundang Seoul National University Hospital, and the coffin will be borne at 7 a.m. on the 27th.
