Former announcer Yoon Young-mi boarded a flight to New York with "a mother's legacy."
Yoon Young-mi shared a long post along with a short video on the 27th through her social media, featuring a speech bubble that said, "I'm going to New York to see my son~."
The released video shows Yoon Young-mi moving through the airport while pulling a suitcase. He waves his hand while wearing sunglasses and smiles, saying, "I'm going to see my son."
In addition, Yoon Young-mi recalled, "I'm going to see my son with a mother's legacy," saying, "It was about ten days ago. Suddenly, as I was riding in a car, the desire to see my son swelled up in my throat, reaching a desperate state that was unbearable."
He continued, "The last time I saw him was a year and a half ago at his graduation ceremony," and noted, "Is it right that our family can't even see each other? What does it mean that we can't meet because we don't have money? Isn't family more important?" This thought led him to decide to travel to New York.
Regarding travel expenses, he revealed, "The real problem was money. At that moment, I thought of my mother's legacy." Yoon Young-mi said, "When my late mother's house was sold, the remaining money was enough to buy one Hermes bag," adding, "I decided to use this to go see my son. I think my mother would be pleased watching her grandchildren from heaven."
He added, "I canceled all my schedules and collected my family's miles to book a flight ticket," saying, "To save money, I'm also bringing along meal kits."
Meanwhile, Yoon Young-mi, a former announcer from KBS's 17th public recruitment, has recently been sharing various everyday moments through social media.

I'm going to see my son with a mother's legacy.
It was about ten days ago.
Suddenly, as I was riding in a car, the desire to see my son
swelled up in my throat, reaching a desperate state that was unbearable...
It felt like I had reached my limit.
The last time I saw him was a year and a half ago, at his graduation ceremony.
The dollar has risen, and the cost of living in New York is crazily expensive,
and the expenses for traveling to New York are enormous, making it impossible to think about.
Moreover, since we both work, we can't even come to Korea....
But then I suddenly thought, is this how life should be?
What does it mean that we can't even see our family because we don't have money?... Why are we living so fiercely? For what? Money isn't more important than family...
Also, we don't know when we'll die...
If he gets married, I won't be able to see him often because of my daughter-in-law... I thought this isn't right.
So, no matter how difficult it is, I'm going. There's no excuse for going to see my son.
I'll use my family's miles to book a flight...
I canceled all my schedules.
But the real problem is money. How do I prepare it?
The expenses aren't trivial...
At that moment, I thought of my mother's legacy.
With my late mother's house sold,
after paying taxes and the medical bills that were drawn from the reverse mortgage,
I found that I had just enough money left to buy one Hermes handbag.
My mother's legacy.
What should I do with it?
Should I use it for living expenses, buy an Hermes bag,
buy a Cartier watch, or go traveling?
I pondered over it, but what I desperately needed now was
the desire to see my son. So, with my mother's legacy,
let's go see my child. My mother will surely be watching her grandchildren from heaven with a smile.
After working through my schedules for a few days,
feeding my children and packing things I want to give them...
Though my body feels heavy, my heart feels like it's flying.
It seems like the whole universe is helping me go see my son in New York. I feel like I want to thank anyone I run into.
They say New York is hot too. Seoul will continue to be hot for a while, but wherever you are, I hope you find peace...
I'm now leaving for New York, packing meal kits to save money. Happy summer to you♡
