According to Soompi, the post wrote:

“I still can’t believe it. Even while enduring such immense pain, you worried about those around you and about me. Even though you couldn’t eat for months, you insisted on paying for my meals with your own card and never let me skip a meal. My angel, who left us far too soon.

Even as you endured everything with painkillers, you said you were grateful that it wasn’t worse, and I felt truly ashamed. My dear sister, you went through so much. I hope you are only happy and free from pain where you are now!”

Born in 1994, Kang was a graduate of the Korea National University of Arts School of Drama and made her entertainment debut in 2012.

The actress has starred in various Korean dramas, including "Schoolgirl Detectives", "Through the Waves", and "Flowers of the Prison."

Her final project, "In the Net," is expected to be released posthumously.
