On December 27, a video titled “Tears Finally Fall in Chicago…” was uploaded to the YouTube channel “Weracle”.
The video showed the couple traveling to Chicago, US, and spending time together in a hotel.
Upon waking up, Park Wi affectionately greeted Song Ji Eun with a sweet, “Good morning, darling~” showing the warmth of their life as newlyweds. Later, watching Song Ji Eun marvel at the Chicago scenery, Park Wi expressed her love, “Ji Eun, I love you.”
Park Wi reflected on the difficulties of traveling after the accident, especially due to the lack of wheelchair-accessible toilets. “Traveling after an injury was really… quite scary for me. Do you know why? Because of the bathrooms! Why Most Bathrooms Aren’t “Barrier-Free” he admitted, sharing the challenges of his daily life in a wheelchair.
Holding Song Ji Eun’s hand, Park Wi burst into tears, “Why am I crying? Only with Ji Eun… it’s just love… because she’s so adorable. Because I love you. It’s just because I’m so grateful.
He continued, “I don’t know why I’m like this. I think it’s just because I’m so moved. It seems like a miracle. Every single moment right now. I’m just grateful to be here in the United States and to share this moment with Ji Eun.”
Song Ji Eun was also moved to tears and said: “It was such a happy moment. But from now on we will experience many more happy moments together.” Park Wi agreed, “Right. And looking back, it seems like there are no failures. It’s just part of living life. It’s just a process.”
Park Wi told how he initially struggled after becoming paralyzed. “When I was completely paralyzed, even using a wheelchair… I couldn’t even imagine it at first.” he said. Song Ji Eun consoled him, “It’s not a failure: it’s a process, oppa. You went through this process wonderfully and came out of it very well. That’s why it seems even more moving.”
Later, the couple met with friends and spent a pleasant time together.
During their meeting, Song Ji Eun talked about Park Wi’s emotional moment that morning. Park Wi explained, “At first I felt so helpless. This morning I was trying to put on socks, but for some reason it took me so long… Even putting on pants too. I suddenly felt so small and pathetic. I’ve never felt this way before. It was a little difficult emotionally. But after I hugged Ji Eun… Ji Eun gave me a little kiss… The fact that our couple and this couple met seems like a real miracle.
He continued, “When I was paralyzed, Sandol came straight to the hospital every single day after work. I couldn’t do anything on my own. So, what I practiced back then was to sit on the toilet and practice how to go to the bathroom. Sandol made me sit on the toilet. I hold a Bible in one hand and massage my stomach with the other. So when I think about those times, it’s a complete miracle.
Afterwards, the couple enjoyed a date in Chicago. Back at their hotel, Song Ji Eun reflected on the trip, “I really enjoyed this trip~. Even though we weren’t just doing nothing and lazing around, it still felt like a really refreshing break.
Overcome with emotion, Park Wi added, “What’s wrong with me today… Why did I cry so much on this trip?!” Song Ji Eun, also in tears, joked, “I got it from oppa~~,” and the two shared another heartfelt moment.
Meanwhile, Park Wi, who was paralyzed after a fall into a building, has regained partial upper body mobility through rehabilitation and is recognized as an icon of positivity. He married former Secret group member Song Ji Eun on October 9.
