Yoon Si-yoon, after being separated from his mother at 100 days old … A poignant confession
In 'My Ugly Duckling,' actor Yoon Si-yoon shared his painful family story, touching the hearts of viewers.
In the SBS variety show 'My Ugly Duckling' aired on the 17th, Yoon Si-yoon's trip to Mongolia with his mother was revealed.
On that day, his mother, amazed by Mongolia's vast nature, expressed her excitement by saying, "I want to live here," and Yoon Si-yoon showed his supportive son side by asking, "Should I get a house in Mongolia?" He also captured heartwarming moments as he became the photographer, photographing his mother.
However, during their conversation on the trip, a heartbreaking past was revealed. Yoon Si-yoon recalled, "After I was born, my mother had to do all sorts of work, so we had to be apart when I was 8 months old. I cried a lot because I missed her." To this, his mother revealed, "In fact, it was even before 8 months. I sent you to your grandmother's house shortly after you turned 100 days old," becoming emotional.
He shared his unfortunate situation of having to send his son away at a young age, saying, "I don't even know when my son took his first steps. We barely saw each other once a year, and there were many times I couldn't see him because I was unwell." He added, "I even fainted while working. That was in my early 20s," deepening the sympathy.
Yoon Si-yoon shed tears while confessing his childhood memories. He said, "When my mother worked in a beauty salon, she told me not to call her 'mom' in front of customers and to call her 'aunt' instead. At that time, if a person had a child, they wouldn't get any work." He recalls asking, "Can I call you mom now?" after the customers left. He also remembered, "There was a kerosene heater in the middle of the salon, and my mother used to cook kimchi stew on it for me. The stew cooked on the heater instead of home-cooked food was my mother's taste," evoking an emotional response.
Viewers who watched the broadcast reacted passionately, saying, "My heart feels heavy; I can feel a mother's sacrifice," "There was a reason Yoon Si-yoon grew up so well," "The relationship between mother and son is so tearful," and "Indeed, mothers are great."
