Actor Son Bo-seung borrowed a significantly larger amount from his mother, Lee Kyung-sil, than previously known, which has drawn attention.
The episode of TV Chosun's 'Lovers of Joseon,' which aired on the 28th, depicted Son Bo-seung personally repaying his mother Lee Kyung-sil the 20 million won he borrowed.
On that day, Son Bo-seung stated, "I will live large from now on," as he handed over the cash he prepared with new money, and Lee Kyung-sil expressed her pride by noting, "I am happier that my son has the ability to repay the money."
It turns out that two years ago, Son Bo-seung received an investment of 20 million won from Lee Kyung-sil to open a YouTube channel. However, the current channel only has about 80 subscribers and merely five uploaded videos, eliciting a sense of bitterness. Lee Kyung-sil, who has 230,000 subscribers, mentioned, "My son began with excitement, but YouTube takes time," and added that while she believed in her son's earnestness and invested, she made it clear that she could not continue to support him.
In particular, Lee Kyung-sil added, "After the broadcast, people around me asked, 'Does your son really do driving for hire?' and suggested that if it was money earned through hardship, he shouldn't accept it," revealing her affection for her son.
Meanwhile, Son Bo-seung conveyed his new determination, stating, "From now on, I will be independent without borrowing money." Netizens also reacted, saying, "Well, at least he repaid it; it's not easy for young people these days," "Lee Kyung-sil is truly a great person, and it’s impressive that she believed in her son," and "YouTube isn't easy... I hope he doesn't give up until the end."
