Comedian Lee Kyung-sil quietly embraced her son Son Bo-seung, who is experiencing financial difficulties, once again touching the hearts of viewers.
In the TV CHOSUN entertainment program 'Lovers of Joseon' broadcast in March, Lee Kyung-sil and her son Son Bo-seung reunited after a long estrangement and shared a deep conversation. On that day, Son Bo-seung revealed his bitter feelings at the local meat restaurant he frequented as a child, saying, "When I was young, I didn’t know the value of meat. Now I can’t even eat it after working until tomorrow morning."
When Lee Kyung-sil asked about her son's acting activities, Son Bo-seung confessed, "I received advances for grants on OTT productions," revealing his tight financial situation. He then brought up his overdue credit card bills and maintenance fees, cautiously asking, "Can you lend me 2 million won?"
In response, Lee Kyung-sil expressed her concern, saying, "I thought it was all right because I took my grandson around, but did you swipe your card everywhere?" She continued, "How long will you rely on your mom to spend money? One shouldn't spend money that isn’t there" offering heartfelt advice.
In the ensuing conversation, Son Bo-seung mentioned that he is making ends meet through part-time jobs like driving for a ride service and quick delivery, stating, "I will work hard again." Lee Kyung-sil reminded him, "Do you remember the 20 million won you borrowed when you said you were doing YouTube two years ago?" reminding him of reality. At that time, his daughter-in-law Son Su-a, surprised by the amount she heard for the first time, created a tense atmosphere.
Fortunately, according to recent reports, Son Bo-seung has repaid the 2 million won for living expenses and the 20 million won for YouTube investments that he borrowed from Lee Kyung-sil. However, the spotlight has also been on Lee Kyung-sil, who is sharing the burden of her son despite her own recent difficult financial situation. It has been noted that her APT. in Ichon-dong, Seoul, recently went up for auction, evoking sympathy. The silent sacrifice and sense of responsibility of 'Mom Lee Kyung-sil' who shares her son's burdens amid challenging economic conditions resonate deeply with many.
