In 'When Life Gives You Tangerines,' actress Oh Min-ae, who portrayed IU's mother-in-law, revealed that she was a girl breadwinner in her childhood.
On the 23rd, SBS's 'Hope TV,' which moved viewers with the reality of the descendants of independence activists and Kim Hye-ja's visit to Africa, will spotlight the lives of 'young breadwinners' on the 24th in parts 7 and 8 and seek ways to assist them.
Actress Oh Min-ae, Lee Pil-mo, and SBS announcer Choi Young-joo will shed light on the lives of forgotten 'young breadwinners.' In the upcoming SBS '2025 Hope TV,' airing on May 24 (Saturday), stories of five children who bear the family livelihood from a young age will be shared.
'Young breadwinners' refers to children under the age of 18 who have to take on household duties, caregiving, and make a living due to the death, illness, or divorce of parents. This broadcast will introduce the heartbreaking realities of five families, including 8-year-old Su-ji, who cares for a parent with a severe disability, and siblings Hee-seong (16) and Hee-joo (14), who juggle part-time jobs while caring for their terminally ill mother, and 17-year-old Byeong-gwon, who cares for a father undergoing kidney dialysis.
Recently, actress Oh Min-ae, who passionately portrayed a mother in the drama 'When Life Gives You Tangerines,' confessed that she was also a girl breadwinner in her childhood, saying, "I wished someone would take me in as an adopted daughter." Reminiscing about the painful memories and stories made Oh Min-ae tear up throughout the filming. Meanwhile, Lee Pil-mo, as a father of two, expressed his deep sympathy, stating, "It's upsetting to see children who should be growing up spoiled taking responsibility for their families."
SBS's 'Hope TV,' in collaboration with the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation, will air on May 24 (Saturday) from 8:40 a.m. to 11:10 a.m.
