On 'Radio Star,' Lee Kyung-sil captivates the studio with her seasoned wit. She candidly shares her confusion upon first hearing the news of her grandchild's birth, her recovery of the relationship with her daughter-in-law, and her new life as a grandmother.
The MBC program 'Radio Star,' to be broadcast on the 28th (planned by Kang Young-sun / directed by Kim Myung-yeob, Hwang Yoon-sang, Byeon Da-hee), is set to feature a special segment titled 'No Backing Down Sisters' with Lee Kyung-sil, Choi Yeo-jin, Lee Ho-sun, and Sa Yu-ri.
Lee Kyung-sil noted, "When my son first confessed he was going to have a child, I felt utterly lost," revealing her feelings at the time. She continued, "It was more than I could handle compared to all the things I've experienced," expressing her honest concerns for her son, who became a father at just 23.
However, watching her daughter-in-law raise the child gradually built trust, and after being estranged from her son for over a year, she was called home to meet her daughter-in-law and grandson for the first time. Upon meeting her daughter-in-law, Lee Kyung-sil's comment reportedly moved everyone. She later shared her unique tips on how to deal with her MZ daughter-in-law, making everyone burst into laughter.
These days, Lee Kyung-sil lives for the joy of watching videos of her grandchild, who imitated her humming while playing kitchen, just like Lee Kyung-sil does when she cooks. She warmed the hearts of other cast members by sharing this anecdote. "I kept replaying that video and laughed," she quipped, joking that the nickname 'Young Money' wasn't given for no reason.
Lee Kyung-sil also shared stories of her past brawls with her close junior Jo Hye-ryun. She said, "There was indeed a time we actually fought in the ring," recounting the situation at the time and drawing laughter. Additionally, she reportedly made everyone laugh even more by mentioning that she still has lingering effects from the boxing match 17 years ago.
Recently, as Lee Kyung-sil's past variety show clips are being re-evaluated among the MZ generation, she remarked, "I feel like I now understand the MZ sentiment a little bit," showcasing her sharp storytelling that transcends generations.
Though she is incredibly gentle in front of her grandchild, Lee Kyung-sil's comedic sense remains uncompromising. You can see her true story on 'Radio Star,' airing at 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the 28th.
