The original diary of the late Kim Soo-mi was revealed on the TV Chosun entertainment program 'Dad and Me,' which aired on the 25th.
On this day, Seo Hyo-rim and Jeong Myeong-ho examined the late Kim Soo-mi's assets and records, feeling even more heartbroken over their mother's absence, especially finding the original diary that the late Kim had written since she first moved to Seoul at the age of 16 until shortly before her death.
Most notably, with the original diary unveiled for the first time, Seo Hyo-rim noted, "There were only her true feelings contained there," as she read through the letters. The diary was filled with the heart of Kim Soo-mi, who only thought of her son.
"I feel frustrated that I couldn't provide my son with even a rented house," and "My son Myeong-ho is reliable, it gives me strength," were among the writings. She also expressed hopes for her son, saying, "I wish for Myeong-ho to be wiser and more prudent; it is really hard," adding, "I hope Myeong-ho is happy," and I believe 'Hyo-rim is wise and smart, so she will live well.'" Seo Hyo-rim mentioned, "In fact, after reading the diary, my perspective on life changed; I felt a pang of regret about my husband, and there were many feelings of guilt toward my son—there are truly many stories within it."
In particular, the late Kim's diary contained the note, "My pronunciation is strange, I spill food when I eat, and my hands tremble. I need to stop taking medication for my grandchild's sake. Lord, please help me." Kim Young-ok recalled the pain she endured alone, saying, "You fool, talk to me," as she shed tears.
In reality, this was just four months before her passing, captured in a video call where she looked unwell, saying, "I have no energy and it’s hard."
Seo Hyo-rim stated, "I don't know when it will be okay; as time goes on, I miss her more," while Jeong Myeong-ho added, "She was my mother, but sometimes she felt like my dad; to me, she was everything. Although she was my mother, when she was next to me, she felt like my dad and was everything, which makes it even more poignant."
At the end of the broadcast, a video of the deceased from 2018 was shown. Kim Soo-mi said, "I wish I had lived a little more freely. When asked about my next life, I find this life tough, so the next life is the end," and added, "I have regrets and have managed to lead a family safely and raise two children well, which I consider a success as an actress."
