'Say I love you, say thank you...'

National mentor and psychiatrist Oh Eun-young revealed her heartfelt confession on the first anniversary of her father's passing, moving the hearts of viewers.

On the 14th broadcast of MBN's 'Oh Eun-young Stay,' a person surnamed Mokseok, who wanted to improve a distant relationship with his sons, appeared. While discussing the distance between family members and the awkward expression of emotions, Dr. Oh Eun-young carefully shared her story.

'This is the one-year anniversary of my father's passing,' Dr. Oh Eun-young began, recalling, 'When I was in medical school, my father bought me a used car. He would start it every morning and warm it up, and he was the kind of person who always waited in the living room if I came home late.' She then went on to say, 'One day while I was on a business trip abroad, my father suffered a fracture and had more difficulty moving. I prescribed him painkillers, but on the day I returned home, he didn’t take them and was holding on. When I arrived, he firmly grabbed my hand and called my name several times, saying, 'I waited for you.'

As Dr. Oh Eun-young was unable to hold back her tears, she said, 'That day, my father said, 'I was so happy to have a daughter like you, I love you, and I am proud of you.'' She added, 'I also held my father and cried, saying, 'I learned love from you,' and that was the last thing I said.'

Her father was moved to the intensive care unit the next day and passed away in June of last year. Dr. Oh Eun-young described how on the day she said her final goodbye in front of his body, she cried out loud, lamenting, 'Now I can’t even touch him, and I can’t hear his voice,' and questioned how she was supposed to live.

On this day’s broadcast, Dr. Oh Eun-young also offered warm advice to all parents and children. 'Why can’t you say I love you? Later, you may not be able to share it.
If your parents are nearby, you need to take their hand and tell them right now,' she emphasized. She then told the person surnamed Mokseok, 'Make sure to tell your child, 'I’m so grateful and proud that you were born as my child.' Just that one phrase will open their hearts,' stressing the importance of expressing 'love' within families.

This broadcast was further delivered with a profound resonance by revealing Dr. Oh Eun-young's personal story. Her tearful confession instilled a deep message that 'love must be expressed to be conveyed.'
