Actress Seo Hyo-rim has revealed that she is a victim of the heavy rain, sparking sympathy. While she is still grappling with the sorrow of losing her mother-in-law, the late Kim Soo-mi, last year, she is receiving more support after suffering damage from the flooding.
On the 20th, Seo Hyo-rim publicly shared the damaged site from the heavy rain on her social media account, stating, "The phone connection is finally starting to consolidate, and the road has been washed away, leaving us isolated."
In the photo that Seo Hyo-rim revealed, the scene of the heavy rain damage shows poured debris, fallen trees, and trees covered in muddy water due to the heavy rain. Particularly, it displays the serious damage caused to a dwelling where a car was overturned, illustrating the urgency of the situation at that time.
Seo Hyo-rim stated, "The electricity has been cut off and there is no water coming out," adding, "I appreciate everyone who has reached out. Fortunately, there have been no casualties in our village, but many other nearby villages have suffered significant damage." She continued, saying, "This is my first experience of how scary a landslide can be," and expressed her hopes that there wouldn't be any further damage.
Seo Hyo-rim has been known to have a villa in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province, where she enjoys a rural lifestyle. She has openly shared moments spent with her late mother-in-law, Kim Soo-mi, at the villa, and has recently attracted attention by sharing her daily life there on her newly opened YouTube channel.
However, the heavy rain has completely changed the situation of the villa in Gapyeong, which was once filled with healing. Seo Hyo-rim revealed the actual damage caused by the heavy rain, including landslides and washed-away roads, and conveyed her hope that others would not suffer from this heavy rain.
Seo Hyo-rim's damage from the heavy rain is particularly unfortunate as it occurred just before the first anniversary of her late mother-in-law, Kim Soo-mi. Seo Hyo-rim and Kim Soo-mi shared an exceptionally close mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. Even before she married Kim Soo-mi's son, Jeong Myeong-ho, the CEO of Napalflower F&B, they had a strong bond, often having lengthy and casual phone conversations lasting around two hours.
After the late Kim Soo-mi passed away on Oct. 25 last year, Seo Hyo-rim mournfully cried out during the funeral service, saying, "Mom, don't go," and "Mom, how could you leave us after suffering so much," evoking sympathy. Afterward, as the kimjang season approached, she reflected on the kimjang she did with her mother-in-law and felt her absence.
As the first anniversary of the late Kim Soo-mi approaches, an outpouring of support is being directed towards Seo Hyo-rim, who has suffered damage from the heavy rain. As she tries to overcome the flooding damage that struck before her tears could dry after losing her mother-in-law, attention is on whether she will return to engage with the public with her usual bright demeanor.
