The teacher's last teaching, how the disciple left behind can go back into the world.
Written on: June 10, 2026 | Column by current affairs critic specializing in IT/media
Breaking up with someone doesn't just mean the absence of that person; it gives you a sense of loss, like losing a huge pillar that supported your life. Broadcaster Kim Shin-young, who recently appeared on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block', shared about the last four days with the late Jeon Yoo-seong, which made many people think again about the true meaning of a priest-priest relationship and the mature attitude of sublimating sadness into mourning. The sincere confessions that the blunt teacher and student made only at the last moment, over 20 years apart, touched the hearts of viewers by showing the deep bond between the two that even cold death could not separate. Beyond simply the sadness of a celebrity, we would like to deeply reflect on how precious the existence of an ‘adult’ who became a support for someone’s life is to us.
To Kim Shin-young, Jeon Yoo-seong was more than just a senior or colleague in the entertainment industry, he was a compass in her life and a father figure. Mr. Kim brought tears to his eyes as he shared an anecdote about how, in the past, when he was suffering from severe panic disorder, his teacher personally traveled to Daegu to purchase related books, study them, and give him advice. In fact, because they were not the type to express their feelings to each other gently, they were unable to fully convey the gratitude and affection that they had kept in their hearts for 20 long years. However, during the four days just before the teacher's death, the two had all the conversations they had been putting off and confirmed their bond. The meticulous consideration of the teacher, who worried about his student until the last moment, and the profound longing the student felt as he let him go, proved how deep the sadness was.
What Mr. Jeon Yu-seong left to his students until the end was not only material keepsakes. The frame containing the 100,000 won gas bill that Kim Shin-young keeps is more than just the value of money, it symbolizes the warm affection of her teacher who did not lose her humor even the moment she left. His last appearance, in which he joked that he would give 20,000 won on credit out of the 120,000 won in gas money he filled, clearly shows the aspect of a considerate adult who tried to put his student's mind at ease even in the solemn situation of death. Mr. Kim holds in his heart the humor and warmth that his teacher showed until the very end, and now he is realizing the weight of how he loved his student, whom he left alone in the world. The teacher was the guardian who held the disciple's back to prevent him from falling when riding a bicycle, and now he is the one who trusts and lets go so that the disciple can pedal on his own and ride the wide road of the world.
The sense of loss that came after a sudden breakup caused a big stir in Kim Shin-young's daily life. The image of Mr. Kim conveyed through the broadcast conveyed the human agony of struggling to deal with sadness. The turbulent times that his body and mind went through after his teacher's cremation, such as not being able to control his appetite due to extreme stress and sense of loss, binge eating, and regaining the weight he had lost, prove how deep the grief he was in. However, even this wandering was a process of extreme mourning for the teacher. While Yoo Jae-seok and other colleagues around him were watching, Mr. Kim did not hide his wavering appearance but rather revealed it, and through the pain, he was slowly learning to accept the separation from his teacher.
Now, Shinyoung Kim is preparing to go out into the world again to carry out the last homework left by her teacher. Mr. Kim set a specific goal to win an award this year and live in harmony with more people in order to show his teacher that he was a proud disciple to his teacher who only saw him taking a break from broadcasting. This does not simply mean success as a celebrity, but the will to practice ‘how to communicate with the world’ that his teacher taught him. The sight of a disciple whose job was to make people smile once again enter the public's embrace and live a healthy life would be the last will that the deceased wished for and the best reward a disciple could give to his teacher.
■ Conclusion and analysis outlook
The stories of the late Jeon Yu-seong and Kim Shin-young give us a deep resonance about what the ‘absence of adults’ is and how to fill that void. In a world where the strong support that silently watched someone's back has disappeared, those left behind must use the teachings he left as a guidepost to steadily build their lives again. Just as Kim Shin-young pledged to transform her sadness toward her teacher into the energy of mourning and blend in with people again, we must also accept separation from our loved ones as part of life and become stronger. The trust and love that has been built up over 20 years will not end with death, but will still live on in the disciple's life and become a powerful driving force for him to move forward into a better world.
