[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Broadcaster Haha (41, real name Ha Dong-hoon) apologized after using profanity on his social network service (SNS) while mourning the late Park Ji-sun.


On the 5th, Haha apologized in a post on his SNS, saying, "I apologize for using inappropriate expressions as I could not control my emotions. I am sorry."


He continued, "I will pull myself together and do my best in my duties. Everyone, please stay strong and take care of your health during these difficult times," bowing repeatedly.


Netizens responded with comments such as, "It's understandable to feel that way when hearing sad news. Stay strong," and "How can one fully express the feeling of losing a colleague in words?"


Earlier, on the 3rd, Haha posted a message about Park Ji-sun's passing, saying, "What I remember is... no... Go to a good place, Jisun... Why were you a hope?" He added, "I feel so numb right now. Please don't make me say those XX words. It's all like that," including profanity.


This sparked controversy over the inappropriateness of posting a message mixed with profanity while mourning the deceased, and Haha deleted the post.


Meanwhile, comedian Park Ji-sun was found dead with her mother at their home in Mapo-gu, Seoul, on the 2nd. The police stated that they believe it was a suicide and decided not to perform an autopsy out of respect for the family's wishes.


On the morning of the 5th, the funeral ceremony for Park Ji-sun and her mother was held, and both were buried at Incheon Family Park.
