In deep sorrow after losing his mother, Koyote member Baekga showcased a strong friendship alongside members Kim Jong-min and Shin Ji. The close bond shared by Koyote members, who share each other's pain, reaffirmed that their relationship goes beyond mere teamwork, being as profound as family.

The news of Baekga's mother's passing was reported on the 20th. Following a long battle with illness, the news of her death prompted fans and the public to send messages of condolence to the grieving Baekga and his bereaved family. In particular, the past stories of Baekga and his mother revealed through broadcasts made this news even more poignant.

Earlier, while appearing on Channel A's 'Oh Eun-young's Counseling Center,' Baekga confessed to wounds he received from his mother during childhood, stating, "There were times when my mother tried to scare me by setting fires," shocking many. His mother apologized in tears, and Baekga indicated that he came to understand his mother's sincerity, leading to a reconciliation.

Thus, the news of the reconciliation between the mother and son after such a difficult and complex time deepened the hearts of the viewers. However, Baekga was always accompanied by his Koyote members. Kim Jong-min and Shin Ji are colleagues who have shared the stage for a long time and are family-like figures who have gone through life's ups and downs together.

Shin Ji shared a photo from her visit to Baekga's mother during her hospitalization, saying, "I hope she is living brightly and happily in a good place, even more than in that photo." The picture of the three smiling, though just a scene from the past, remains a warm and cherished memory.

Additionally, Kim Jong-min and Shin Ji remained by Baekga's side during his mother's funeral procession. Shin Ji expressed her heartfelt farewell, saying, "A month ago, we took a picture together while smiling brightly in the hospital room, and today, we took a final photo while saying our last goodbyes."

Koyote is a representative and long-lasting mixed group in South Korea that has maintained its team for about 26 years since debuting in 1998. The three members, each with different personalities and charms, have maintained the team without disputes and are also referred to as icons of "true friendship."

The heartfelt relationship of Koyote, confirmed once again through this loss, transcends mere "teamwork" or "comradeship." The way they have become stronger by sharing both the joys and sorrows of life, in addition to the synergy on stage, exemplifies what true family is.

Meanwhile, Baekga said on the 23rd, "Heaven must be bustling now, as our loud and fiery Mrs. Chae has probably arrived," and expressed gratitude, saying, "I sincerely thank everyone who has cared and shared my mother's farewell journey with us." He also stated, "I will no longer just be sad, but I will live brightly and vigorously like our Mrs. Chae."

"Goodbye, Mrs. Chae. I was happy to be born as your son. I love you - my mom's treasure No. 1."
