Shin Dong-yeob became emotional about Yoon Si-yoon's family story…"In my childhood, there was an absence."
Yoon Si-yoon's family story was revealed on 'My Little Old Boy,' bringing tears to everyone's eyes.
In the SBS entertainment show 'My Little Old Boy' (hereafter referred to as 'Miusae') aired on the 17th, Yoon Si-yoon shared the story of his mother, who had to raise him at a young age, delivering a deep resonance.
That day, Yoon Si-yoon said, "My mom gave birth to me when she was 20 years old," and, "She had to raise a baby at such a young age," surprising the cast members. Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't hide their sadness, saying, "A baby gave birth to a baby." Yoon Si-yoon's mother recalled, "At that time, I thought I was an adult, but looking back now, I was still a baby," reminiscing about her childhood. Yoon Si-yoon also confessed, "After I was born, my mom had to do various chores. I had to be separated from her when I was just 8 months old, and I remember crying so much because I missed her.
Then his mother revealed, "In fact, it was less than 8 months. You went to your grandmother's house in Suncheon just after you turned 100 days old," sharing the reality at that time. She continued, "So, I didn't even know when my son took his first steps," with tears in her eyes. The story of the young mother who had to leave her baby, only 100 days old, to make a living touched the hearts of viewers.
His mother said, "At that time, I was weak and even collapsed while working. I was in my early 20s, but it was too hard to bear," reflecting on those tough times. In response, Shin Dong-yeob seemed choked up and unable to continue speaking, but he said, "I think my grandmother filled your mother's absence well," with tears in his eyes.
Shin Dong-yeob deeply empathized with Yoon Si-yoon's story, confessing his own childhood. He said, "When I was 4, my grandfather's business failed, and our family fell apart. Although my father was a school teacher, he had to pay off debts, and my mother had to work. So I also grew up feeling my mother's absence."
The broadcast that day resonated with viewers by conveying the tearful sacrifices of the parental generation and the stories of children who grew up strong amidst it. Immediately after the broadcast, viewers responded passionately, saying, "Yoon Si-yoon's mother is truly amazing," "I could relate even more to Shin Dong-yeob's emotional confession," and "Thinking that our parents' sacrifices made us who we are today breaks my heart."
