Seeing my son living in a semi-basement broke my heart"… Despite the auction crisis, Lee Kyung-sil helped her son by finding a house, bearing the 'weight' of a mother
Comedian Lee Kyung-sil has been quietly supporting her son Son Bo-seung's life amid economic difficulties, resonating deeply with many.
Previously, on the TV CHOSUN entertainment show 'Lovers of Joseon,' Lee Kyung-sil calmly showcased the process of overcoming a year-long estrangement with her son Son Bo-seung and restoring their family bonds. The portrayal of Lee Kyung-sil revealed through the broadcast transcended the role of a simple entertainer, representing the heartfelt sincerity of a mother who bears everything for her family.
After experiencing conflict due to her son's premarital pregnancy confession, Lee Kyung-sil recently visited a sports equipment store to support Son Bo-seung's work as a substitute driver, gifting him a helmet and gloves. Upon hearing "Can you be my substitute driver today?" Son Bo-seung rushed over, and after receiving the new equipment, he expressed joy, saying, "I'll be fine from Gangnam to Jamsil," while Lee Kyung-sil added, "I'll treat you until dinner," gently patting her son's shoulder.
Additionally, Lee Kyung-sil visited the house where her son and his family have lived for five years. Entering her son's home with her hands full of side dishes, she admired, "You live neatly," and enjoyed a warm moment with her grandson while eating curry that Son Bo-seung had made.
However, all of this 'daily life' was built upon the weight that Lee Kyung-sil has been bearing. Reflecting on the time when Son Bo-seung lived in a semi-basement, Lee Kyung-sil recalled, "At that time, my husband looked at that house and said, 'You would be heartbroken if you saw it too.'" She shared, "I felt I had to move that house for my grandson Lee Hoon." In reality, the house where Son Bo-seung currently lives is reported to have been found by Lee Kyung-sil.
Notably, a conversation related to Son Bo-seung's military enlistment plans caught attention. At 26, Son Bo-seung revealed he is considering military service in his 30s, and Lee Kyung-sil stated, "If you enlist, you won't be able to work part-time, right? Then I'll help with your living expenses," expressing her determination to bear the burden of her son's future.
However, it has been reported that Lee Kyung-sil herself is currently facing economic difficulties, with her home in Ichon-dong, Seoul, going up for auction. Despite this, she remains unwaveringly supportive of her son, never revealing her struggles, and this commitment has left a lasting impression on many viewers.
