In "Lovers of Joseon," Lee Gyeong-sil's son Son Bo-seung appeared to struggle with living expenses despite receiving grants. Eventually, it was predicted that he would also borrow money from his sister following Lee Gyeong-sil.
On the 3rd, Son Bo-seung confessed to his difficult economic situation during the broadcast of the TV Chosun entertainment program "Lovers of Joseon."
That day, Lee Gyeong-sil had cut ties with her son Son Bo-seung because he had a premarital pregnancy at the age of 23. At that time, Son Bo-seung said, "I didn’t make a mistake; I believed you," but showed deepening family conflicts.
Lee Gyeong-sil expressed her frustrations, saying, "I was upset that I had to take responsibility for a family at such a young age. While my friends can enjoy their youth, I was upset to start building a family so early." After dinner, a surprising reveal showed Son Bo-seung working part-time as a driver, not an actor, while also delivering clothes in Dongdaemun as a second job. The burden of being the head of the family weighed heavily on him, which caused Lee Gyeong-sil to tear up when she first saw this on the monitor.
Lee Gyeong-sil had a separate conversation with her son Son Bo-seung. When she asked if he continued to drive, her son replied, "There were days I couldn’t because of filming," while mentioning he was juggling other jobs in between. However, the project initially scheduled for March has had its airing date postponed indefinitely.
Moreover, the OTT project placed pressure on his living expenses as he received grants, shocking Lee Gyeong-sil. She cautiously inquired about his living costs, secretly worried about his financial situation. It turned out that he had unpaid credit card bills. When he requested to borrow money due to his serious economic conditions, Lee Gyeong-sil scolded him, saying, "Spend money responsibly. How long do you think I will keep lending you money? Are you just going to rely on your mom to spend? If you don't have money, you should borrow from your mom and pay it back. That's not how it works," and added, "Money won’t save itself unless you don’t spend it. If you do everything like others, you won’t be able to save up."
Ultimately, her son left in distress and guilt, and Lee Gyeong-sil appeared to be overwhelmed with emotion.
In the meantime, the preview showed the son borrowing money from both his mother and sister. During a gathering to celebrate Lee Gyeong-sil's birthday, an unexpected incident took place as he suddenly stormed out. Lee Gyeong-sil remarked, "You’re trying to make me go to my demise," indicating that her son had caused her to break down in tears, leaving viewers wondering what had happened.
