Singer Seo Joo-kyung of "Special Report World" revealed the reason why she had to receive a divine call.
Aired on the 29th, MBN's "Special Report World" featured singer, agency representative, and the person living with a divine call, Seo Joo-kyung. Seo Joo-kyung proudly mentioned her lovely son. 15-year-old Jang Seon-woo was a bright and kind boy who showed none of the common adolescent behavior of his peers.
The son was a hard-earned child. Seo Joo-kyung said, "Usually, women say they have uterine fibroids, but just about 3 to 4 months ago, I had 2 fibroids, each 2 cm. However, I couldn’t stand straight and my pelvis hurt. After the ultrasound, the fibroids grew to the size of 10 cm. They grew acutely. They said it would go to the endometrium and that I wouldn't be able to have a child."
She noted, "I couldn’t have a child because I didn’t know when my uterus would rupture, but I really wanted to give birth and to become a mother. But I forced it because I couldn’t become a mother."
At 42 years old, she had her son at a late age. However, Seo Joo-kyung is separated from her husband. She stated, "That’s called a semi-marriage. I don’t care whether it’s a divorce or a semi-marriage. We don’t live under the same roof, but we live 5 minutes apart and communicate. I can visit dad anytime," expressing a sense of relief while saying, "I filed for marriage registration for our birth certificate, and we had no wedding ceremony or wedding rings. I just wanted to live with someone I liked once."
Seo Joo-kyung's representative song was "Bold Woman." Since she became the head of her household at age 19, she embarked on a career as a singer. Seo Joo-kyung's sister, who suffers from the same hereditary disease, expressed concern, saying, "It's really tough for her to get on stage with that body, and it's upsetting because she has to go to the emergency room afterward."
Seo Joo-kyung remarked, "I was the head of the household, not just in my house but overall. But I liked it. If I worked hard as the head of the household, money would come in, and I was thankful for what I could provide." She expressed that it was not burdensome at all. However, she had cysts all over her body and was always living with thoughts of death. Because of that, she was worried about passing away early while thinking of her son Jang Seon-woo.
Seo Joo-kyung shared, "Not only my kidneys but also my ovaries, liver, lungs, thyroid, and brain have so many cysts that I can’t even count them. So I have to always think and prepare. If it were just me in this world, I would have to prepare, but since there’s a baby, I have to be careful," she said with a sad smile.
There was another hardship in her life. It was having countless dreams and experiencing unexplained pain in her body. Because of this, Seo Joo-kyung received a divine call at the young age of 29. She stated, "I was experiencing acute bleeding without any reason, and I kept muttering to myself, and people told me that I wouldn't live past 40. I was scared. I have to sing, and I have so much to do. So a great elder rode the sword. They sacrificed a cow and a pig and prayed."
Seo Joo-kyung continued, "I did not want to become a shaman. I prayed. I asked to be allowed to sing, to do many good things, and promised that all the money I made from singing would be returned. So I prayed and wrapped it nicely to dedicate it beneath the Buddha statue at the temple," explaining the reason she could continue her singing career.
