Kim Geum-sun from 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' makes a shocking confession.
This evening (25th) at 8:30 p.m., KBS 2TV's entertainment program 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' (hereafter 'Fun-Staurant') will feature seasoned actress Kim Geum-sun, who has garnered syndrome-level popularity with her role as Jenny's mother in the hit show 'When Life Gives You Tangerines'. Kim Geum-sun will reveal her tumultuous life story, including her long years of anonymity and living as a supporting actress for her two sons.
In the VCR released that day, Kim Geum-sun couldn't hide her nervousness ahead of attending the 2025 Baeksang Arts Awards. This will be her first time attending the Baeksang Arts Awards in her over 30 years as an actress, and she is also nominated for Best Actress in the film category. For that occasion, her son prepared a surprise event. Kim Geum-sun's son, who will be revealed for the first time on the show, garnered attention by being so caring and attentive to her that the 'Fun-Staurant' cast joked, 'Is he really her son, or is he an actor?'
The surprises from her son continued after the awards ceremony that day. He planned a congratulatory party for her. However, curiosity sparked when it was revealed that the special menu prepared by her son was Brazilian home cooking. It turns out that Kim Geum-sun met her partner in Brazil, got married, lived there for 10 years, and her two sons were also born and raised in Brazil. Her son cooked Brazilian home dishes specifically to alleviate his mother's longing for the food she enjoyed in Brazil.
That day, as Kim Geum-sun recalled her memories in Brazil, she surprised everyone by saying, "We were also in danger while living in Brazil," adding, "It was a life-threatening risk." Her son also recounted, "It was a situation where there was a knife at my neck. There were guns as well..." The shocking confessions caused panic in the 'Fun-Staurant' studio.
Kim Geum-sun recounted, "One night, six robbers broke into our home. As soon as I got off the elevator, they grabbed my neck..." At that time, her two sons were 9 and 5 years old, respectively. Kim Geum-sun added, "Since then, I couldn't take the elevator for several years due to the trauma." It is reported that the mother and sons vividly shared the life-and-death situation they faced during the six-robber incident, which will be revealed on 'Fun-Staurant'.
On that day, Kim Geum-sun shares her difficult journey from life in Brazil to settling in Korea and tells the story of her life, which has been tightly bonded with a unique family love reminiscent of 'brotherhood' with her two sons.
