South Korean actress Kang Seo Ha has unfortunately passed at the young age of 31. According to confirmations pouring in on July 14, she lost her life after quietly battling cancer.
A presumed family member has since shared a video tribute via multiple Instagram pages, including Seo Ha’s profile. The clip puts together a slideshow of the actress’ lifelong heartfelt memories.
“I still can’t believe it, unnie. Even while enduring such immense pain, you worried about those around you and about me. Even though you couldn’t eat for months, you insisted on paying for my meals with your own card and never let me skip a meal,” one of her loved ones captions the post.
“Even though you couldn’t eat for months, you insisted on paying for my meals with your own card and never let me skip a meal. My angel, who left us far too soon. Even as you endured everything with painkillers, you said you were grateful that it wasn’t worse, and I felt truly ashamed. My dear sister, you went through so much. I hope you are only happy and free from pain where you are now!” they added, as per Soompi‘s translation.
