I have no idea what I was doing on 3rd of September in 2014. I was probably at school, thinking that it was a normal day. Til the end of May 2017, I had lived thinking that it was a normal day. But what I didn't know was that it wasn't a normal day. It was a terrible day.
To many people, 3rd of September must have been the worst day of their lives. To many people, it will be a day that will always haunt them. That day was a terribly sad day. The world lost someone very precious. She was a friend, a daughter, a sister and a light of many people's lives.
Go Eunbi, known as EunB, was part of a South Korean girl group called LADIES' CODE. The group had five members: RiSe, Ashley, EunB, Sojung and Zuny. But something happened. The girls were on their way to Seoul after attending the recording of KBS "Open Concert" when they got into a car accident. The weather had been rainy and the driver had been speeding.
RiSe and Sojung were badly injured. Ashley, Zuny, the driver and a staff member sustained minor injuries. Then there was EunB. I'm sure the paramedics did their best. That's their job. And I'm thankful they tried to save our Lovely Code. But unfortunately, EunB passed away. She became an angel.
To the family and friends of EunB, that day must have been one of the worst days of their lives. To the fans of LADIES' CODE, to Lavelys, it must have been one of the worst days of their lives too.
RiSe and Sojung were being treated for their injuries, as well as Ashley and Zuny. But RiSe's condition was getting worse. After four long days, on 7th of September in 2014, our Pure Code, Kwon Rise, became an angel too.
Like EunB, RiSe was a friend, a daughter and a sister. She was the light of many people's lives, too. To Lavelys, those days must have been very hard. The following days, the following weeks, the following months and the following years must have been very hard. The families and friends of RiSe and EunB must have suffered a lot.
I wish I would have found LADIES' CODE sooner. I wish I would have become a Lavely sooner. I wish I could have been there when RiSe and EunB were singing, dancing and living happily with Ashley, Sojung and Zuny. I'm regretting a lot. But I'm also very grateful. I have learnt a lot after getting into LADIES' CODE.
I've really learnt to appreciate all the good things in life. I have friends, I have a family. I have a cat. A cute cat. And I'm healthy. I almost took them for granted before. But these days, I really appreciate the good things. I don't take them for granted.
It's all thanks to LADIES' CODE. Thanks to RiSe and EunB, because they are the lights of my life, my beautiful angels. Knowing that they are in a better place makes me feel better. Knowing that they are looking over Ashley, Sojung and Zuny makes me feel better.
Thanks to Ashley, Sojung and Zuny, because I really respect and admire them. They are the strongest people I know. The strongest three beautiful human beings. They've suffered a lot, a lot more than people should. But they kept going on. They wanted to keep going on, no matter how hard it was. And they did it. LADIES' CODE didn't disband. They are so strong.
I love LADIES' CODE so much. I love RiSe and EunB. I love Ashley, Sojung and Zuny. With everything I can, I will support them. I will love them. I can't stop loving them.
To all the fellow Lavelys out there, stay strong. I know you can do it. For RiSe and EunB, let's stay strong. They wouldn't want us to be sad, right? For Ashley, Sojung and Zuny, let's stay strong. Let's support them. Let's show them that we love them. They need all the support and love they can get.
To RiSe and EunB, rest in peace, angels. I will always love and miss you. I hope you're happy wherever you are right now.
To Ashley, Sojung and Zuny, I love you. Stay strong. You're doing well. I miss you a lot. But the most important thing to me is that you're doing okay. Please eat and sleep well. I love you.
