"I was embarrassed that the whole nation came to know about it," but beyond that statement was the sincere wish of 'Mom Lee Kyung-sil' to protect her family at all costs. Comedian Lee Kyung-sil recently clarified her position regarding the APT. auction controversy, stating that everything has been "resolved well," while her efforts to quietly resolve issues that she even hid from her family have come to light.
On the 16th, Lee Kyung-sil confessed on her social media, "To get to the point, everything was resolved well. I was surprised after the article came out. The children, siblings, and acquaintances did not know about this matter, so everyone was shocked and felt gloomy. Upon hearing the news of the resolution today, some were even in tears."
In particular, she noted, "For several years, my broadcasting activities decreased, and I invested in search of a stable income. Initially, it was fine, but after several incidents over the past few years, it has led to this situation. I wanted to resolve it quietly for fear the children would find out, but in the end, everyone found out and I was very embarrassed."
The reason Lee Kyung-sil wanted to hide everything until the end is clear. It was driven by her heart as a 'mom' to protect her family, especially her children.
Previously, Lee Kyung-sil showcased her journey of overcoming a year-long estrangement with her son Son Bo-seung in the TV Chosun variety show 'Lovers of Joseon'. The show depicted her quietly supporting her son during a difficult period of premarital pregnancy and arranging a home for him while he was living in a semi-basement, resonating with many viewers.
Particularly, even when Son Bo-seung took up part-time driving to become financially independent, Lee Kyung-sil bought gloves and a helmet for him, saying, "I'll treat you to dinner," warmly supporting her son. Her words, "When you enlist, you can't work part-time, so I'll help with your living expenses," touched the hearts of viewers as she expressed her willingness to share the burden of her son's future.
For Lee Kyung-sil, this auction news represented a choice and silence as a mother to avoid shocking her family, rather than merely a financial issue. However, when the matter became public and no longer could be hidden, she was swift and discreet in resolving it before coming forward to the public.
The struggles of 'Mom Lee Kyung-sil,' which were obscured by the auction controversy, resonate more deeply than just a mere happening. The weight she bore silently to prevent a collapse without her family was, in the end, the love to protect her family itself, and this portrayal of Lee Kyung-sil evoked empathy from many.
