On the morning of June 10, family, friends, acquaintances, and numerous hoobae stars in the entertainment industry attended a funeral for the late TV host Song Hae.
On this day, figures such as Uhm Young Soo, president of the Korea Broadcast Comedy Association; Lee Ja Yeon, president of the Korea Singers Association; as well as a number of veteran comedians delivered remarked remembering the late TV host, who debuted as an actor for a musikdrama troop in 1955. Many hoobae stars remembered Song Hae as "a teacher and a father figure to all broadcasters for the past 70 years", and prayed, "may he rest in peace in heaven with his late wife and late son."
